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.
