I'm still watching videos of the 5AK! I'm only down to two pages of videos left, but I was totally inspired to knit this five-sided die! The pattern was a cinch to knit up. Go ahead and feel free to use it to create your own five-sided die. Because of the pyramid-y shape, when it lands on the bottom, you just kind of have to go with the number facing you as the number to choose. Pictures should be on the photo page!

The past two weeks I have put up my video late. I'm not going to skip around it, but it's because I keep the sabbath as an observant Jew. That means I get home from camp at 4:30 and the sabbath starts at sunset (which this week was 8ish) and I have to help cook and clean and take a shower at some point. So this past friday I recorded my video before I left for camp intending to edit it when i got home from camp, but there was a ridiculous amount of work to do because friday night we had 12 peopl…

1. What's your name?
Colleen, though Col will work fine too. It's just easier to sign in notes sometimes. But then it's also weird to type that out here, because I usually go by Constance on the internet, it being the name of a character I roleplay... so yeah.
2. What is your favorite thing to wear?
my super gigantic Harry Potter blanket. I literally have this thing wrapped all the way around me, sometimes even covering my head, while I'm at the computer.
3. Last thing you ate?
Pancakes that I…

Hi!!! I should be trying to go to sleep right now, but instead I'm watching You Tube videos of 5AKs, reading Ravelry, and joining this ning. By the way, you all are awesome! :D
So, I am freaking out and laughing my butt off, because John just posted his Tuesday question video and he's totally wearing the Secret Scarf I made for him!!! How jokes is that?

Hey knitters, it was Monday. Now it's Tuesday. And now I am writing a blog about my suckage and covering some of the stuff that I covered in the video that refused to work for me yesterday. Hooray!
(You can't tell, but I'm humming the intro theme right now.)
So pretty much I have a ton of excuses why there was no video, but I'll spare you the gory details and whatnot. Basically, I had technological and personal issues and stress and freaked out. I'm really sorry - but hopefully (fingers crosse…

Hey everyone,
For Hank Green's birthday, I sent him a birthday postcard in the name of the fiveawesomeknitters (me, Dani, Kayla, Michael, and Meira) and he GOT IT!! In fact, it's in his "My Birthday Rocks" video. You can find it at about 1:48 - it's the one with three sheep and writing on it. I'll also put up pictures of it later!
=D!

I recently joined this community and decided it was high time to share what I am currently working on.
I am planning a Harry Potter Party for the 15th, the night that Harry Potter 6 comes out in the theaters.
Rather then just post my invites, I deciced to deliver them in a special manner - Owl post.
Thus the project I am currently working on - Knitted Owls.
Attached are some pics... enjoy.

ok, so i know it's not exactly craft related, but it is definitely nerdfighterly, so i thought i'd share.
a few weeks ago, some folks i met in My Pants and i decided to start up a 5 awesome channel of nerdfighters discussing issues. we're still having some issues with people actually making their videos and such, but i thought maybe y'all would like to help support us by watching, rating, commenting, subscribing, whatever you have the time for.

The answer is no. I'm still here. I've been in Israel for five months and it's been amazing. Seriously, I've been loving every moment and i can't believe I'm already halfway through. I have definitely missed 5AK and KnittingKnerdfighters. I've been (well, sometimes) emailing Kayla and I would lvoe other peopel to email me as well. My email for this year is Mmaynard@nevey.org
So, there is a possibility of me being able to put up videos again. I don't know for sure cause I'm testing one right now…

Okay, guys, especially 5AK guys...I'm sorry :(
I feel really, really bad that I haven't kept up with your videos for a few months. But they've been crazy, busy hectic months! First, in November, I did NaNoWriMo for the first time, and I had little time for anything else. Then I went out of town for Thanksgiving, then it was all Christmas activities and more going out of town. And now the amount of videos I have piled up seems overwhelming, but I'll get to them, I promise! I just didn't want any…
