Out of this world (and about 1000 years in the future too...)

   

The difficult we get done quickly, its the impossible that takes a little longer.

       So the last few days have been busy. Work, catching up with old friends, and working on a few projects. The first project that i was working on was a part of the motorsports team at my school, and involved about 5 hours of working on a milling machine in the teams machine shop. This year, for the second year, the team is designing and building our own transmission, rather than buying one. So Saturday i trekked out to school and i roughed out a chunk of aluminum so that it was the right size to be put into the CNC and cut down to a more precise shape.

       All of the other projects that i worked in involved knitting- I've finished three things in the last few days, although only two of them really warrant mentioning, as the third was just a basic striped blue and yellow scarf that i made for my brother.

       My next creation was for a friend of mine who is a big fan of the t.v. show "Futurama." On the show there is a character named nibbler, who is the alien pet of the mutant, Leela. Without further hesitation, let me show you my take on the character:

Nibbler!

Me and Nibbler

       The other project that i finished up was for my roommate and close friend, who is an amazing singer and loves to play the violin (although hers recently ran away....). Its a scarf, and my favorite part is the treble clef at its beginning:

 

Well, that's all for now.

living life one stitch at a time

We've been conditioned to think that change is good and exciting, but maybe its not, maybe its just very dangerous.

Life is a summation of the moments, and while the seconds may seen insignificant, they are the building blocks for the memories that make up our lives. My name is Kelly and i am 20 years old. I'm a student studying mechanical engineering, and i would rather take on a challenge than stroll down the easy path.

I am a knitter, and i love taking on challenging patterns or inventing my own, whether it be for a friend or a family member. As silly as it sounds, knitting a unique creation for someone is my favorite way to stake a claim, to show that i care for them.... even if the feeling isn't necessarily mutual.

So here's to a new blog, maybe someone will read it, or maybe it will be lost to the depths of the internet. I present to you, my life, as i place it together stitch by stitch.
