So Hardcore!

Wow... it has been a long ass month for me.  Tonight I'm sitting here trying to stay positive about turning the big 35 tomorrow.  Its like I only have a few hours left until I become old... I know old is only in you head but every year I go through the same thing.  This is why my ex-husband always waits until a week after my birthday to call so he doesn't have to hear me cry.  Yes I cry... a lot! 
Between the birthday, me getting pissed off at work and being freakin sick I think a mental breakdown almost happened on Thursday.  So do you feel sorry for me yet?  OK, since that is done off to better stuff.

Yes I'm feeling completely like a hardcore knitter right now.  After 2.5 hours of some well wanted pain I now have been marked by the "Knit Girl" fairy!  Here she is on the first day.... it looks pretty rough right now since it is flaking like crazy!

The Knit Girl Diary entry # 69

I'm going on day 2,549 now and boredom has taken over me....

Its 2pm, Wednesday, small cubicle, sitting counting the minutes… I really need to get OUT of this cube and OUT of this office!

I do not think I can last much longer. Memories of my childhood flash before my eyes, now it seems that there it isn’t a day where I don’t feel like stabbing others. I guess it's just the normal corporate life huh?
Yep, I believe that there is not a fast lane in my life now, it has now turned into slow and suicide lanes only.

There is one positive thing I can say for myself this week, I think I have beaten my ADD knitting problem! I have actually finished a hat for myself. This has to be the 10th or 11th hat I have started… so I say congrats to me!

See I'm shocked I finished the hat!

Attention, attention all Knit Girl shoppers!!! We (big thanks to Rebecca, Michele and Brittany) have started a KAL for the Knit Girls on Ravelry.

Right now it is just knitting something sexy or naughty, but next month I think we are going to tackle Intolerable Cruelty. My pick is Felt Up from Naughty Needles, so I can wear it on my birthday, which is only 19 days away…

so with that being said you are going to be one of the lucky one’s to read about my little mis-adventure (I’m sure only knitters/crocheters would understand the comedy in this)

My week so far has consisted on knitting, html coding, Knit Girls and being consumed with trying to figure out how my cat stole my yarn and where the hell she put it. Now it wouldn’t have been so bad if there was more of it at the store but I had bought the last 4 balls, the exact number I need! So here I was: 3 balls, a cat and part of the corset.

What’s a knitter to do? Stop and start all over with another color? Do I go look all over town for another ball?  Or Should I just bite the bullet and pay a $6 for shipping a $4 ball of yarn?

First things first, I went to every place that sells yarn in Savannah and no Lion Brand Landscape Country Sunset! Imagine THAT! Sadly I stood there in JoAnn’s, staring at the empty shelf that once held my MIA yarn, trying to contemplate my other options… I really don’t wanna start over so F&%$ it; I’ll just order the stupid thing!

My sweet little thief!

During my ranting drive home I had a faint memory of something… wasn’t I yelling at Trixie (the sweet little thief) while I was trying to sleep the night the now famous yarn ball disappeared… yes, she was messing with a BAG…. And the yarn was in a BAG!!!! DUH!

Well I found it alright… in the back corner under my bed (mind you this is all the way across my whole apartment around many corners) behind some storage boxes and old shoes!!!! I was very happy but couldn't she at least given me a hint. So here is my progress so far…

My corset in pieces

WOO HOO!!! Saturday is going to be an awesome awesome day!!!  Its tattooarday!  I’m going to get my knitting ink done! The Knit Girl logo will soon be permanently placed on the back of my left leg near my foot…. So freakin excited. I already have a Dahlia sketched out for my shoulder which I am going to try to get next month!

I really think the tattoo is the reason I’m having such a hard time at work this week… thank you Tax Returns and screw you groceries and light bill ( ok, I’m paying the light bill)!

Remember March Knit Girl submissions need to be in to me by the 15th with at least 3 photos to use for the voting. (Face, Ink and wildcard).

My pinup photos are coming up soon thanks to a couple great guys that will be (you know who you are)helping me out! Smoochies darlings!

May all your dreams be of Pinups, knitting, ink and beer!
