I'm Bad at Blogging

I'm sorry. I should have been posting. I said I would. I can't keep up.

Surprisingly, you're not missing anything. I've started another blog that primarily about writing, but I have made another that's simply about me and my life and everything that I would like to share. I'm not sure I will be adding crochet and knitting stuff, but if I do, I will inform anyone who views this blog.

Somehow I still get views on here. I am very greatful for them. I actually have AdSense on here, but I can't access the account because I don't know which email it's connected to. Ugh. Why?

Thank you for reading this slightly unnecessary post. I'll keep you posted about what I'm going to do.

Ciao!

July 2015 Projects

It's that time of the month again where I tell you all reactive worked on this month! But guess what... *whispers* I only worked on one thing all month. Yeah, that's right. One project last month. I actually only worked on it for like half a row, but a lot happened in July that I sadly can't forget or erase. I worked on my flag blanket number two! Unless you follow/check out my Instagram, you probably don't know what flag it is. There, after scouring through all of the picture from my normal life, you will find a few photos of my blanket.

That's all for this month.

Ciao!

June 2015 Projects

Here is the long time coming projects of March to June projects! Nothing has changed, actually.

Flag Blanket #1
Flag Blanket #2


that is literally it. I'm pretty sure there was nothing else that I worked on.


Until August!

Update!

What kind of loser am I? The kind that says they're going to be trying to post every month for monthly projects but it doesn't work. I am a complete failure at this, I know.

Anyway, for the past few months I haven't really knitted or crocheted. I had lost inspiration due to spring and now summer. I hate seasons and when my house is warm, I can't stand working on my blankets.

I have been working on an idea for a great project. It's a charity project that I wish not to discuss until I start it and have pictures and other mess. Well, that and other things.

Since it is the first of July, it is only customary that up do a June monthly projects. I've been thinking about doing that as a podcast and then sharing it on here. But I don't know. Do you think I should?

Also, with it being July, Camp NaNoWriMo has started. Camp NaNoWriMo happens twice a year (April and July) and the official NaNoWriMo is November. NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month and that month is November. My book is awesome and I finished the first chapter yesterday, so HA!

That's all for now. The June projects list will be ultra short and posted in a few days.

Ciao!

February 2015 Projects

Hey, dudes! To officially begin the beginning of the rest of my 2015 of blogging is posting my February 2015 projects.

Mystery project (WIP)
Crochet slippers (planning)
UK Flag Blanket
Italian Flag Blanket


This is honestly all I've done this month and January only consisted of the last two. No spotlight pattern this month. I've been working alone lately.

I'm started a GoFundMe to help pay to go to school in Italy at EF's school in Rome for a semester. my goal on there is $20,000 and I would incredibly appreciate if you donated. I'm only asking, not trying to force you, (not that I could, anyway). Any amount would help me reach my goal. I'll have a post on with more information on it soon.

Grazie mille e Ciao!

2015, Let's Try to Blog Together!

So, I've kinda, sorta didn't blog for four months. Sorry. I haven't had a monthly project update since July. Lately, a lot has been going on. I've been a YouTuber since September and I feel as if I need to start working on a second channel. I don't know what I want to do, but I do know I want to do crafting podcasts. I don't craft other than knitting or crocheting often. However, I also want to do some other things on my channel that don't necessarily pertain to knitting and crocheting. I'm thinking of making yet another YouTube channel for what I want to do and feel as if it is too awesome of an idea to share without having started the channel.

It's February and I don't know what to do, exactly. I will be doing a project update WITH PICTURES, that is if I download the app once again. I currently have no room on my phone. The goal is to blog for as many consecutive months as possible.


Leave any suggestions you would like to see for any of my podcasts if and when I do them. Share anything you've made and yours or your favorite knit or crochet patterns and I will be sure to leave a link, preferably something listed on Ravelry so I can check them out and do a pattern spotlight for you.

You can add me on Ravelry as PlutosShadow.


Any updates will come soon.


Ciao!

Nowhere Near Relation to Crocheting!

I am making this short post to just say that... I'M MAKING YOUTUBE VIDEOS! I am not making any tutorials or anything, just gaming videos. Right now, I'm just doing Sims 4 which just came out September 2nd. As I type this I am rendering my fourth video. So far I have almost no subscribers. I am, honestly, just glad that I'm finally posting videos on YouTube in general!I can't wait to record videos.

I've watched a video about how being a YouTuber really is hard work, but for me, it's almost easy. I'm having struggles, but I'm getting somewhere. I don't really have anywhere quiet to record so I record really late at night. Rendering is a pain in the rear, but I'm willing to deal with it if my video is alright and has been watched. Ever since I decided to make a YouTube channel, I've had the strongest urges to make videos almost everyday; I enjoy making videos so much.

My videos are definitely not the best; I'm using my laptop mic because my headset mic doesn't work well, and I have no idea what to say during the videos.

Onto news that you actually care about... 

My August 2014 Projects list won't be up because I did not work much during the month and probably won't do a lot of crocheting or knitting for a little while. I wanted orders earlier in the summer, but I haven't gotten any, surprisingly. I probably will still be making my sweater, but not until about the middle of September. I'll post pictures and maybe have weekly updates on it. Can't wait to start it. I'm focusing more on my channel right ow and trying to get somewhere with it. I don't know if there is going to be a September 2014 Projects list until maybe the end of the month. I have started school so i don't have a lot of time for either.

Ciao
