Bit of Ivory

Well, the costume is coming along nicely, although not quite as fast as
I’d hoped. After 2 days of crocheting and then undoing over and over
again, I found out I was doing the wrong stitch. No WONDER it was so
hard! Anyway, I finally figured out how to do it correctly, so I’ve
actually made some progress (albeit not a lot. I’m still only on the
second section of color). It doesn’t look all that great, but as I’m
practically a beginner, I’m not going to complain. My roommates’ looks
perfect, but she’s been doing it much longer and much more often than I
have. I brought my mom’s sewing machine down, though, so I’ll be able
to sew my tie and my skirt. I HAVE succesfully sewn several things, so
I’m not too worried about those. The material for our skirt is so cool!
The pattern for the robes ended up in Murray, but that’s okay, since
Jen is going back again this weekend.
I’m still having trouble finding knee socks. Everyone else bought some
at Wal-mart, but my shoes fit just a little tightly with them on. I’m
searching for some thinner ones, but no luck so far. I haven’t checked
everywhere, though. But as they’re the only thing I’m missing, it’s
quite annoying.
I think my biggest problem will be forcing myself to do my homework
when I’d rather be working on my costume.
