I think it’s time I get myself back into blogging more frequently. Week In Review seems like a good way to motivate myself, so here goes! I’ll see if I can post every Friday. haha. We’ll see how long it lasts. Like so many things on the internet, this may be fleeting.

I haven’t knit a single stitch all week; crochet crochet crochet!

Hey look, I’m being all creative and stuff!

I made this partly for the shop, and partly because I wanted to make a cute, easy crochet pattern. I’d like to get myself designing more stuff, particularly in the crochet department. I’d love to make more charted patterns, but I have NO idea how to make charts on the computer. :/ I’ll figure it out someday.

You can download the pattern on the pattern page linked on the left. Or you can find it on Ravelry.

Ashes to Ashes.
The ending of this show, I just … I mean, it’s not necessarily sad but they all have tragic stories and finally seeing what led them all to that place … I don’t want to discuss it in much detail, because I don’t want to spoil anything for those of you that haven’t watched the whole series. This was the first time that I ever cried for characters on a tv show. Like, ever.

Doctor Who.
Again, do I need to explain? If you follow me on Tumblr you know this. I used to watch Doctor Who as a kid with my dad on PBS, but I didn’t really get into it until the new series came back, and I stepped into fandom for the first time with series 4 because I loved Donna so much. She is my favorite companion for sure (well, in the New Series at least). I’ve transcended into crazed love so far that I’m planning on writing my dissertation on the show. If that’s not an obsession I don’t know what is.

Tiny Toons Adventures.
The first show I ever religiously followed was Tiny Toons. Here’s a fun story.

My hand-writing was awful when I was a kid, so my dad promised me a reward if I could bring up my hand-writing grade by the end of the year. So I worked my ass off, and when I finished the first grade I brought my hand-writing grade up to an A-. The day he got my report card, my dad took me to Toys’R’Us and he bought me a brand new GameBoy (the original, gray brick one, which had been released recently) and one game of my choice. My choice? Tiny Tunes: Bab’s Big Break. It’s still one of my favorites.

Not bad for a 6 year old fangirl, eh?
