As you may have noticed...

I have just recently changed my blog design and I think its for the better. That was totally off topic of what I was GOING to say. I was GOING to tell you that I, like most people have many WIPs (works in progress) Well, I guess its not that many. Only 6. A cactus, a scarf, another scarf, a frog, a baby blanket and Pi for my math teacher. Well I guess I'll go watch Dumplings and finish a thing or two.

Adios!

7 minutes to type

Okay, this post is going to be fast since my computer is about to die and well, no charger is in sight. I read a book recently (actually today) and its amazing. It's called. Crap six minutes. Anyway, its called the year of secret assignments. And its about these three kids from rival schools that write using a pen pal program thingy. Its actually much more interesting then its sounds. Although I think I made it more exciting in my mind because I read most of it in Social Studies and well, half my mind was in the book and the other half in class. (We were being lectured on the war) Since I wanna get some crochet stuff in here.... I started to crochet a cactus for one of my teacher who cant grow flowers. She kills all of them. Three minutes. Anyway. I have a knitting class every Wednesday at the local library. Its so fun although it is getting a bit crowded. I seem to write more when I'm rushed on time. Anyway. Two minutes. I'll write more tomorrow! Bye!

Somebody has to say it.

If you have ever been in a public place, (which if you haven't then that's pretty amazing) you know that sometimes, places just smell bad. Maybe it's the sewer, the Axe, or something else. 
(By the way, I have no idea why men keep buying Axe, to most ladies it smells terrible!) But sometimes, it might just be someone's breath, or multiple people's breath. Who knows? Anyway, I just hate it when someone's breath smells bad and they don't know it. Now I'm not saying everyones mouth smells like a pot of daisies. But, sometimes its just like smelling a skunk convention. I have a friend that for some reason, likes to really breathe on people when she talks, she gets right in your face. I have no idea why she does this and i don't know if she thinks about it at all. Oh, and by just being around her, you can smell this kind of rotten smell, like boiled eggs, but worse. It might just be a medical condition or something, but its horrible. I'm not trying to be mean but, Somebody has to say it.

So today I was watching a bunch of Infomercials

If you have ever stayed up past 2 AM watching infomercials, you would know what I'm talking about. It seems to me that us lazy Americans can't put on a towel, fold our clothes right, or use a blanket. Along with many other things. I think I'm starting to lose hope for my generation.

Free lightbulb hat Pattern

I thought I would give you guys a pattern I made up :) 






P.S. This is my FIRST pattern ever, so please tell me if there are any mistakes.



I made this pattern up COMPLETELY myself one day while I was bored. Please **DO NOT** claim to have made this pattern. You **are** allowed to sell the finished product, as long as you give credit to me. Thank you. :)


P.S. This is my FIRST pattern ever, so please tell me if there are any mistakes.


Materials
I used worsted weight yarn but whatever works for you.
I used cotton and acrylic which I know is bad but whatever :)
5.00 mm hook
7 different colors of yarn, less then a ball each


Size: average adult head, maybe a little smaller
 Gauge: I didn't measure haha :)


This pattern assumes you know how to:


single crochet, double crochet, decrease, and work in the round


With yellow: Ch 2


R1: five sc into 2nd ch from hook


R2: 2 sc into each st around (10)


R3: 2 sc into each st around (20)

R4-6: sc around

R7: *sc 2, dec* repeat from * all the way around (16)

R8 & 9: sc around

R10: *sc 2, dec* repeat from * all the way around (11)

R11 & 12: sc around

R13: *sc 2, dec* repeat from * all the way around (9)
