Yarn Love ♥

So about a month ago I taught myself to knit. I've always wanted to knit but never made an effort to learn so I quickly pushed myself to finally learning  and with the help of talented crafty people on YouTube I was able to correct any mistakes and expand my knowledge of knitting and learn some tips and tricks. I learned how to cast off of course ,increase ,decrease and add colors even learned a few stitches.I knitted lots of sample pieces to get in some good practice and everything's going good with that, I'm getting better and I'm going to make a scarf pretty soon so that will be my first real knittng project .So far i love it and it's already been decided that I'll do it for the rest of my life and share it with others and teach my future children and grand children. I've also learned how to crochet recently, something I've always been uninterested in but decided "hey what the heck why not learn that too"? so It's pretty easy to pick up and a bit more forgiving and easy to manipulate than knitting I am absolutely in love with crocheting I will never stop and I've learned lots of techniques  got in lots of practice  it's been a few weeks and it's a perfect fit for me I 'm even working on a scarf  (I'll definitely post pics later) and I can't wait to finish it show it to my niece it's going to be so cool! It's pretty much been the only thing on my mind besides Life, plans for the future , and my loving fiancee ♥ I'm really enjoying my time with my new hobbies ^_^.
It's no secret that my new favorite thing to do is go yarn shopping I love to take pictures of Yarn look at pictures of yarn and enjoy the feeling of the different textures and dream up possible crochet or knitting projects.I personally love bright colored yarn and I love to buy up all the bright colors I can find since color is really my first love♥  



So I came across this yarn brand call Sugar'nCream and thought to myself "mmm that sounds decilious" and immedately picked my colors lol I can't hep that i'm yarn crazy at the moment.the yarn in the picture are 100% cotton  "sounds fluffy to me,I'm all over it".
check out their websit they have lots of cool stuff  there and check out their  scented yarn how cool is that? this brand is pretty cool. Thanks for reading my post and checking out my blog, Love you

AnimeExpo2010!

This year was the third time I attended Anime Expo AX10 and it is always an amazing experience and with this years cosplayers, exhibitors, AMV(Anime Music Video) contest, a masquerade ball, Midnight Tea parties, and the world premier of Black Lagoon season 3, I couldn't have been any more enthralled.
The Anime Expo is an annual convention currently hosted at the Los Angeles Convention Center, traditionally it is a 4-day event that begins in the beginning of July continues until the evening of July 4th ending on a good note with a closing ceremony.
AX is a great place for anime fans of all types to explore and indulge in the exciting world of anime and manga, and also enjoy activities and seminars. It also gives you the chance to interact with thousands of other fans and enjoy the sight of other fans dressing up as their favorite characters and meet people in the industry. Anime Expo also has featured world premiers of TV shows and movies. This years main events included; AKB48, AMV contest, battle of the bands, Mell, the AX10 Laser Show, Ax Idol, Masquerade Ball, and many more!
There are plenty of other things going on as well like video programming, table top gaming rooms, karaoke rooms, Meet & greet sessions, workshops, artist panels and seminars, and more. But one of the most popular things of the whole convention is the Exhibit hall, where merchants gather and sell THOUSANDS of merchandise and manga straight from japan and even awesome, unique homemade items that you will never find anywhere else.


Now for the other main event of this blog I present to you...
COSPLAY!
