Trying to Upload Pictures

I've been trying to upload pictures of some of my WIP and FO but since I have dialup its been really slow! I'm going to try and work on it today!

I took this quiz from someone elses blog and I find the answer really funny, since I come from LA! But I'm not the normal LA person. I don't know where the best parties are and don't glam it up either. LOL

You Are Los Angeles

Young and fun, you always know where the best parties are.
And while you tend to keep things carefree and casual...
You certainly can glam it up when you need to.

Famous people from Los Angeles: Tyra Banks, Jake Gyllenhall, Freddie Prinze Jr.

Scarf Style/Wrap Style Knit-Along

Scarf Style/Wrap Style Knit-Along

I just started the Lady Eleanor Stole from Scarf Style. It's made out of SW Trading Co Karaoke #278. It's been fun to work with. I found the above blog that has been helpful. Check it out! I took a picture of my WIP and tried to download it but since I don't have dsl or cable it's been taking too long. I thought I would burn the pictures to a disk but at before 6 this morning it wasn't a good idea. Hopefully tonight! I just started on my second ball too....

I still love this movie after all these years. Especially since it has Cary Elwes in it. I usually don't like guys with blonde hair( the darker hair the better, are you reading this Hugh Jackman? Jeff Goldblum?), but still he's a cutie!

I did get some knitting done. I also tried to upload some of my finished objects yesterday but it was really slow. So I only have two for now. Its the felted bowl from the One Skein book. It took It took me a couple hours to make. It took a little over one skein of Cascade's Pastaza.
