this ones kind of girly

so i decided to take on the task of crocheting myself a shawl. i got this awesome vintage dress a few months ago when i was in savannah with cassie.. and ive not worn it yet. i dont do much that requires a dress. although i suppose dresses arent only for dress required events. so ive got no excuse. except that i didnt have something fun to wear over the tiny straps. so, in the next couple of days i am making myself a shawl!! (because im going to break out the dress for graduation aka a dress required event) its a pretty simple pattern so i think i can do it. i am incredibly excited!! i may also note that i am ridiculously excited that i dont have classes anymore and i can crochet! (its when i make comments like this that karrie refers to me as an old woman, hmph!) this feeling kind of reminds me of when i was a kid and i would read like crazy. i read babysitter club books like it was going out of style when i was thirteen or so (yeah.. what about it?) and thos RL Stine pick your ending books. i would read like three a day. it was that serious. i would wake up, and lay in the bed for an hour reading. and i will not confirm or disconfirm whether or not that was because i knew that getting up meant chores outside waiting on me. ;-) 
anyway the progress after an hour with the shawl: (and its green... of course, it seems like nearly everything i crochet is green) 



its the size of a bandana right now (hey... did you hear that one about why pirates spell bandana with a d? ....no? ... because if they didnt, they would be wearing bananas!!!! har har)
