Freaky Knitters Unite

Slowly Put Down the Needles and Step Away from the Plane!

Hefner:i took her love for granted.mp3

So I survived my trip this past weekend.  Thanks partly to some handy dandy Xanax!  Actually it wasn't so bad after all.  On the way home I even crashed (me... not the plane obviously).  I d0 have a great tip for flying knitters.  I didn't have any problems bringing my knitting supplies on the plane; I was pretty shocked about how easy it was.  However, I did learn that if you are sitting in coach make sure you carry SHORT ass needles or circular ones would even be better!  I tried to work on my scarf but there was no way in hell I could have without poking someone in the crotch.  Now that would actually be kind of funny to me, but I guess not to the person I assaulted with the knitting needle.  Then I'd be probably be arrested, charged and no one would be able to carry needles... what a legend to leave behind.

The trip couldn't have been better!  Ash and I had such a great time, I don't think I stopped smiling or laughing the whole time!  We didn't do too much just spent time together but one thing I almost pee'd in my pants a couple of times from his silly antics (I'm pretty impressed with my vocabulary skills on that one)

So we did talk about marriage a lot... we are going to go ahead and start planning but nothing will be official until I can get my head around the whole thing.  Darn those commitment issues I have now... darn ex-boys!  I did hear a great thing about ex's... without X's you can't have O's, pretty cleaver huh?

Back to the happy subject... Ash is coming down in April to see where he will be moving too... wow he is going to hate the Savannah heat.  I'm really glad he loves cats because he now has two step-kitties!

Good things never come without some bad things too!  I just got my pap smear results back and I have stupid cervical dysplasia again.  More reason for me to remind you to go get your yearly check up!  It really sucks but it is just something that we have to do!  I'm dreading when I get older and have to get the boobies smashed, but damn it I'll do it!

My new knitting project is going to be a cool beanie for Ash.  The Main color will of course be black and it will be sporting a sexy white iron cross on the front.  One Issue I do have is that he has an extremely big head.  I started working on setting up the pattern back in November but with the Xmas knitting it fell to the wayside.  Since my scarf wasn't finished when I made it up to Minnesota and it wasn't even cold enough for it.... I have quite a while until it is cold enough for me to actually wear the stupid thing.

I need beanie/skully ideas!  I keep asking him for his head size (ok, I can't keep typing this without tell you it is soooo cracking me up) but most men aren't going to run to the store to get a measuring tape for their head!

This is kind of what I'm looking to do:

Oh man you have to check this out!  I found something pretty freakin cool,           Moo cards!  I'm sure I am way behind the times but they would be an awesome idea for random knitting pictures.... even as a blog address card!  Not sure if I'll ever get some but what a totally rad idea~

Ramblings of a Freaked Out Knitter

The Cure Just Like Heaven

Crap the day is almost here. Two days left until I have to fly, yeah in a plane!!!!  I’m a freak right now about the whole thing.  I barely even slept last night stressing out over work (my new promotion), my flight, meeting Ash’s family and friends.  They are even  throwing a party for us on Friday night which is so cool but man what a big deal it is!

 

I think the biggest part of me freakin out is the fact that he is officially going to ask me to marry him when I get up there. 

 

We have decided on a handfasting wedding, if you don’t know what that is here is a link: http://www.handfasting.info.    I would love some suggestions on cool ideas.  I just want it to be very simple and only our closest friends and family.

I’ve been just doodling around the internet trying to keep my mind occupied and I found this site that I so love!  Since I’m a shoe whore I think I might just buy these!

Ok another place I just found!!!  You love tattoos like I do?  Check out this site!  It is freakin rad (my new “old” word)!

So I have been doing some knitting… here is my scarf so far.  I chose blue – well I really didn’t choose the blue, it was about the only color I could find except for light grey and a off white.  But I think it’s looking pretty good.  I think I should have it done by the time I leave on Thursday but if I don’t I still have the 4 hour flight and yeah I will be drugged up on Xanax but hey I guess I’ll find out if drugs and knitting can work together.  If not well I guess I’ll have to give it to a blind man.

10 days to finish my cable scarf... can I do it?

Oh man, I only have 10 days until my trip... and I've got a ways to go on my scarf.... here is what I have so far, well you know I'll be all up on that thing tonight! 

I think the next color I'll do is a lime green...

I'm actually enjoying this whole cable thing. 

Well since I got my new camera I decided to try to take a new picture of my hip tattoo.  I know once I get married I'll be getting quite a few more since he is a tattoo artist.  Oh now that one isn't making my dad happy.  I've (and he) has already been warned by daddy.... Oh well I guess I'll just have to cover up better when in Atlanta.  You would think at 34 I'd be out from under my parents hand... but oh I'm not. I haven't decided to get the other hip done. ummm should I? 

Well I'll leave ya with this... my sweet Trixie and a  couple of great songs....

I'm knitting again and Making Yarn Hairfalls!

I've been such a bad knitter.  Life has been great but changing everyday.  This has been the best year so far!  I am so happy about my job too... the boss has been giving me new projects that will either make me or break me at Gulfstream.  I just need to head back to school and finish my last two years of college, which I dropped out to work two jobs so my ex-husband could go to Medical School - what we do for our family.

So I've actually got the hang of this cable thing.  Here is the scarf so far:

A close up... damn I'm happy with myself... lol

So now I need to figure out what the next color should be?  I was thinking this dark grey with a dark red... I'm not sure what colors Lion Brands Thick and Quick Woolese comes in... or what they have here in Savannah.  I love AC Moore but they really didn't have any colors I liked.  I mostly wear black and greys... so what color???????

All I know is I only have 11 days until I leave and get to see my baby!  Wow I can't wait.  He got us a cabin and has planned this whole romantic weekend for me!

I talked to his aunt last night and she is soooo cool!  He has a really close family and they have already made me a member.  Which is something I'm not use too!  A guy wants me to be part of his WHOLE family!  Well my parents will love him except that he is a tattoo artist and that means more tats for me... yes!!  My dad is going to be really pissed off!  lol

So I just got some yarn I bought on ebay.  It is pretty thin so I might double it and make a scarf and hat for my friend Missy or just use one strand and do a summer hat and decorative scarf for summer... it is perfect for her because she LOVES black and purple...

Any suggestions for what I could do would be really appreciated... she is really into goth... so something kind of different would so rule!

I have started doing something with my left over stash and let me tell you it went over so well when I went to this show last week.  I've been making hairfalls with it... here are some pictures of my hair:

Here is me and my friend Missy:

I'll post how to do them if anyone is interested!

I do??? Yep it’s not knitting, damn me!!!

So I’m really been trying to work on my Cable scarf, but my mind is wondering other places and it is soooo making me mess up every time I start.  I’ve just been so freakin happy it doesn’t even bother me.  However I bet when I get up to Minneapolis I’ll be so mad when I’m freezing my bum off!

Well here is my news… my high school sweetheart has asked me to marry him… wow that seems like the strangest thing to say, I guess it will official when I get up there on the 22^nd.  He has rented us a cabin for the weekend, but I feel like we won't be there that much because he is going to be dragging me around meeting everyone.  Oh yeah and the fact I’m going to spend HOURS in the Mall of America.

Yesterday I told my ex about me getting married… well that was one of the hardest things in the world to do and I even broke out into hives. Yes, I realize it is over between us, but he still means so much to me but we just weren’t meant to be together. I never understand how people can just stop caring about someone just because a relationship didn’t work out… who knows why people do anything they do. I just wish he could be happy for me, but that will never ever happen, and that is very sad to say.

Anyhoo, since I’m getting hitched I’ve decided to do a blog about knitting and wedding stuff… a sexy kind of blog (Maybe my next blog will be maternity clothes… jk). Man my cheeks hurt from smiling so much!!!!  OK enough about my sweetie and on to the knitting huh?  I’ve just never had anyone treat me like a princess before, well except my daddy of course.

Searching the Web for Wedding knitting really didn’t impress me.  I was expecting some really cool things or ideas.  Nope not much out there.  I did find a book that I’m going to go out and get, Wedding Knits .  Now the reviews I’ve read are mixed, the problems most say that the knits are too simple looking.  But I’m all about simple so if you have an opinion let me know. 

We are planning a very Irish wedding in Helen, GA… if you never been check this out! http://www.helenga.org/  It is a beautiful place and for Ash it is his favorite place of all!

If I was really really great at knitting and had tons and tons of time on my hands then I’d so love to make this gown… wow!!!!

Now this is more up my alley…. I know you have the blue ribbon for the whole tradition reason but since it will be Irish then mine will just have to be green… something else will just have to be blue… maybe his balls… oh I’m soooo kidding on that one… lol, but it was funny!

So here are so cool things I found on Knitty.com!!!  Not sure what would be the best to start on….

And just for an extra little bit of fun... anyone hungry???

So to end my sweet little sick blog… Here is our song from when we dated way back in 1989… yeah I know… weird!
