Freaky Knitters Unite

Its been 62 days since my last post....

Now do I get a spanking?  Knittygirlie where are you when I need one?

I'm going to try to write this while eating the most gawd-damn hot pizza!  Who the hell puts jalapenos peppers on a pizza?  OK, I'm sure a bunch, but damn- it they are freakin HOT!

You know it is really amazing all the changes in a person's life that can happen in only two months. 

First we will hit the Ravelry group front!  Man that group has got to be one of the best group of girls and boys ever!  It is amazing how we can go from swapping pasties, modeling them, to helping one of our beloved members out in a crisis.  The group has been busy knitting & crocheting squares for a comfort afghan her.  Lori, you are in all our hearts and minds during her time of pain and sadness. We love you sweet Indulgence.

Let me go ahead and wipe the tears away and try to go on....

FYI: There is now a Knit Girl Blog for any updates and going on in that other world of mine

What a life of a Knit Girl

So because I had way to much drama in my life and so I got rid of all the crappy people... ones that put me down for the stuff I choose to do and for who I am.  I will not change because it might offend someone or someone might see my pastie covered boobies.  So no more letting others control any part of my life whither it is ex-boyfriends, friends or whoever....  Amazingly once I decided all this within a week I met the most wonderful guy, I swear, in the world.  Not to mention he is a fireman, how totally hot is that??? Gets me going that is for SURE!

I'm really not sure what I have done to deserve to have someone care so much about me.  I guess waiting these few years for the "right" guy has really paid off.  But, I'm not going to get to deep into it with you guys just because there are some people I just would rather not know about my comings and goings but lets just say he spoils me with kindness and thinks the world of me... not sure if I have ever had that in life before... he has put me on cloud nine!  Life is a crazy thing once you have completely given up it throws you something you just weren't expecting. 

On Friday my new guy told me that we are going on a trip this weekend.... get this, we are going to Denver to see my favorite singer Devil Doll.  He has booked everything and has it all planned for ME!  Also, Molly that is running for May Knit Girl lives in Denver so I asked the BF if we could stop in the yarn store she works at... he said we could go anywhere I wanted to go!  How amazing is he to let me go to a yarn store... poor guy, doesn't know what he is in for!

Then the next weekend I head up to spend a weekend with my best friend in her boat while the boys fish... ok, way to many vacations I will never get anything done at home.

Other than that my parents came down for a weekend and we actually had a freakin great time!  I can't even believe I'm even typing that... but they are doing so great and somehow they have turned into these crazy funny people!  My dad even wore a shirt that said "Scars are just like Tattoos but with better stories".   Mom said he was dying to wear it!!!  What goofballs.

Work... well same ol same ol but it looks like I won't be moving back to ATL anytime soon so I guess I need to just start to enjoy what I do!  My plan is to go back to school in September and get my Aeronatical Technical Management degree.   Then I guess I will be "officially" smart!!!!

Crap on to my not-so-much-knitting life... I've been such a bad knitter girl!  Except for the squares on the comfort afghan and pasties I've really not done to much.  I had a million stitches drop from my intolerable cruelty skirt when the cable on the circulars came unscrewed.  I think that frustrated me so much that I just can't look at it for a little while, but since they yarn cost me a boat load so I really need to get it going again... seems like a good project for the plane ride.

No time to post picture this time but I'll get some in Denver... woo hoo...

Cold War II, Knit Girls and Xmas

First and foremost, The Knit Girls voting for January has begun!  It will continue until the 6th and I will announce the winner on the 7th!  So go vote at www.badknitgirls.com !

Wow, Xmas is over and I thought that I wanted to spend 2 weeks in ATL but with the parents in a constant struggle over who is right and who sucks is making my trip a less than happy one.  I have actually run away to a coffee shop just to get away from the Cold War going on in that house.  I feel like I'm 16 years old again dreading to be with my parents.  Now don't get me wrong I love them but I hate to see them fighting and my mom crying... UGH, parents!!!!

I did finish all my scarves for the girls at work which rocked and now I'm onto some legwarmers for my friend Leigh.   It seems like it will never stop, I got a list of To Do for others that I will be working for them until Xmas comes around next year.

So here is the scarf I made for Barb, I only put fringe on one side but she begged me to put it on both since she is OCD... ha ha

This is the neckwarmer for Shelley, the little intern that helps us out at work

For our admin Becky I used my handspun/handdyed yarn that I've been saving for something special... I just love that girl!

The next one if my Fav... Robin wanted a black cozy one...

Last but not least... Sandy's - She is a red hat lady so I made her a purple one.

Well the meter is running out for my parking space so I gotta run... but make sure you go vote for the girls and may all you knitting kick ass!!!!

New Fugly... Ok more like freaky knitting!

Ok so be prepared... Knitting meets the fetish world.  Warning:  this is not for the innocent.  Its in the range of Rated R....

So what would you get when you combine the two?  well just take a lookie see! 

What the Fugly?

I still can' believe it, but it just shows there is something out there for everyone!

Just a great song to listen too... I'm addicted to Zombina now!

Zombina and The Skeletones- Nobody Likes You When You're Dead

So I have to confess…

YES I’ve been very slack with my blog AND my knitting. 

I’m still staring at the hummingbird cloth I’ve been working on but it seems like every spare minute I have... hey I AM busy working on my needles. I did a test one on Sunday and it didn’t turn out exactly how I wanted it. Now I know what I fudged up on and I’m attempting it again.  This is a real learning experience for me and it is eating up the moneytoo!  If it all works out like I want it to than it will totally be worth it.

Here is the banner I have designed… not really sure if it really that great or not.

Wow, so much has been going on in my life I have no clue where to start.

We all have heard the quote “don’t sweat the small things”

What a great saying but most of us live our lives only focusing on those things, I however love to point out the little things and make fun of myself or at least try to find something funny about it.

Yesterday on the way to work while I was clipping my badge to me shirt (now this is a very important part of the story) I noticed that I had put my shirt on inside out.  Now we all know how that royally sucks!  I did decide that sitting at the red light on a busy highway is not the place to fix the problem. 

The next 5 mins I had to drive to the parking lot was torment for me.  How the heck am I going to fix this without everyone seeing my wonderful beautiful jewels?I pulled in the lot and just missed our shuttle to the building.  Thoughts and plans come flooding my head, now I’m not saying these were great plans either.

So I sat there looking around… wow no one around… should I?  Ummmm yeah why not, right? 

Well I start to pull off my shirt and while it is wrapped around my head and wrist I realized it was stuck… stuck how?  WELL…. dumbass me had clipped my badge to my shirt AND my pants! 

At this point the best thing to do would to of course put my shirt BACK on and finish it in the bathroom at work… but no… I kept pulling and searching for that damn badge.  Finally I got myself out of it and the shirt was securely placed back on my body when I remember the worse part…. We have cameras in the parking lot!!! 

Well maybe I’ll see myself on YouTube for me 15 mins of fame!

Ok... funny intermission #1 !

Here is something so cool.  I was asked to be a cage dancer on Friday at the First Friday Fetish party here in  Savannah.

I have to do it, I want to be able to impress my kids(if I ever have any) when they grow up by telling them I was a go-go dancer.  I’m kidding but at least it will be a great story for me when I’m drunk.

Here are the boots I bought to wear… how cool are they?  I guess I wear my Social Distortion shirt… I told the guy that I was NOT going to dress like some hoochie mamma either!!!  This seems like it is going to be one big party.

The Cure has been postponed until May damn it! Robert Smith has writers block.  So instead I’m heading out with my friend Will to see the Savannah Derby Devils (roller derby - what a weird word derby).  This will be awesome, maybe it will make me forget the loss I will be enduring during my "Cure" mourning period.

This just hasn't been my week... my baby XB got a big boo boo... freakin rocks! 

The sun looks wicked in the pic... and no I didn't edit it.  I'm not sure what that bright dot is to the left of my big ass crack is but I'm sure its a reflection of the sun.

Funny Intermission #2 (I think this HAS to be one of my fav lolcats)

We are back...

What does boring lunches mean???   PATTERN SEARCH!!!!  YEA boys and girls, new found patterns!!!  What could be more exciting? so here we go...

I love playing White Trash.... I AM playing, right?

Well due to some recent issues I will writing a little less "inside" my life, this is just for a while ( I hope) until I feel more comfortable that this "issue" has been taken care of...

OK, now that has been said.... on a lighter note....

Whilst taking the long HOT daily stroll to the car today I was in a conversation with a girl from work about loving to play White Trash every once in in a while(this subject came up due to the "issue")... its not too hard and sometimes a lot of fun, well as long as I don't end up on an episode of Cops.  The best way is to to just ignore all societies rules for being a girl (or woman). So why does most women when they get pissed at each other say the other is either white trash or psycho?  Is it because we all fear that is what we are?  Well my feeling is this... letting go of the rules of society isn't all bad.  It can feel a little bit liberating and you can let your hair down!  So all I have to say now is girls try it once, let out your white trash side you might enjoy it.

So off to the knitting world...

I did find my pouch of notions, some how it ended up behind my bed.  How the freak did it get back there?  I have no clue!  I think I'll just blame it on my cat....

Thanks to a fellow Knitlist member Noe, I went on search for a pattern for Sakura and this is what I found.  I saw it a long time ago but my knitting, well let me be honest, wasn't even fit for a regular SS scarf. 

I think I'm going to do my flowers in red, to match my hip tattoo... not sure what color the scarf could be, maybe an off-white. I'm going to try and find a little star pattern so I can incorporate them also, then it will look just like it!

http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEspring06/PATTsakura.html

I'm about to head up to ATL for a week.  My bestfriend is going into the hospital on the 2nd to deliver my baby god-son Dylan!  I'm so excited I've been buying baby clothes like crazy.  So I have yarn for a blanket and some booties (which mind you I bought the day after I found out she was pregant) but with this inner ear infection I just haven't felt like working on something I plan on giving away... because it would have to be perfect for my Wendy!  I did find out today because of some problems she will have to stay in the hospital for 5 days and she asked if I'd stay with her to get her some good food, watch movie and look at trashy magizines.... 

I'm going  to try to do the blanket while I'm sitting around the hospital... I have to find a really cool pattern first . Something unique, her boyfriends mother has crochet her a few blankets already.  I just don't want to do one that is like every other baby blanket, something like her, unique and beautiful.

So any suggestions for anything cool... I wish I could do those converse booties but I just can't see myself trying to learn crochet while hanging out in the hospital... I don't even care if I have to buy the pattern, just as long as it is special....

Well I guess I need to go eat and lay down so I can get to feeling better.

Ta Ta...

12 things – A Bitch's list of Today

1) Writing and Cussing: Ugh, why is writing the first sentence always so hard? Ok, well I guess I wrote it now and the words should be flowing now! Maybe I have Blogger’s Block…. or could it be ADHD? Should I go get tested? Umm, where was I going with al this? Oh yeah… I think I have all this important stuff jumbled up in my little head and they are so not playing nice with each other! Damn them!

2) Smart as a Brick? First things first, working at a large aircraft company seems to be a pretty cool sounding job right? With an abundance of brilliant people right? Now don’t get me wrong, there are some really intelligent people here but most have very little common sense or tact. A guy can build an airplane but can’t make a copy, which scares me just a little bit. It just is not nice to treat people like they are beneath them. I don’t care if you are VP or the guy you empties the trash we all have to work together! UGH, ok now that is out… on to the next…

3) As the Gulfstream Turns: The other day our IT dept or what we call “the internet Nazis” put a new block on our daily visits to the local County Sheriff dept website. It seems that we (as a company in whole) have nothing to do but check the website daily to see who we know that had been arrested the prior night and spread it as fast as we can. I am guilty of this little bit of pleasure, which is a little embarrassing on my part! All I know is to never get arrested in this town, actually never do anything that could be used against you in this town cause word spreads faster than peanut butter on toast! Anyhoo(I really hate when I use that word) there is the ADHD at work, So I guess when the last girl at our work was put in the slammer for Terrorist Treats and acts, “the man” decided that something needed to be done to the gossip train. I mean talking about taking all the joy out of our day! What the heck will we do now? Work?

4) We giveth but you have to giveth 5 dollars: So now it seems I have an interview tomorrow. Am I getting a new job? Well no, not exactly. I have to actually interview for my promotion! What kind of bullcrap is that?

5) There is Terror in S-Town: Speaking of stupid people and terroristic threats… this is nice, they had a big crackdown at our local family entertainment place… here is the best part:

From the Savannah News:

15-year-old was charged with terroristic threats after he confronted a police officer.

"The officer was trying to prevent him from attacking a child and he said, '... don't touch me. I'll kill you. I don't care if you're the police, I'll bust a cap in your a-,'

At least it seems he had great grammar.

6) Its all about the Ska: I’ve got some exciting news! Oh yes, Aug 6th Dropkick Murphys is coming to Savannah! Finally some good music in this town.

Dropkick Murphys_beer_beer_beer

7) What a lovely Asshole:

8) The 5th reason girls are dumb: Wearing 5” heels on a day that is so hot even this southern girl is complaining is a really bad idea especially when I have to walk about half mile to my car! Today is a total flats day. What do I care if my ass is perky?

9) Cats, Men and PBR: I believe that I will end up marring my cat! Hey, they could have some kind of special pill in the future you never know. I mean who knows what is going on with Ashley and me, he won’t grow up long enough to talk about me which I know is a shock! I mean there are guys out there but I think instead of telling them I’m not into them I try to make them not want to date me, it has become a little bit of a game for me. Its actually pretty hard ! I mean I tell them I’m tattooed, been in rehab, like punk music, love going to the local hole in the wall bar in my jeans/t-shirt and drinking PBR in a can. Oh yeah I left out I can burp the alphabet… ok I’m kidding on that one, well I can but I don’t do it anymore! I just don’t seem into the guys down here, for too country-fried for me. I mean they are good to go out for some fun but to date? No way!

10) Knitting? Who me? So, I’ve picked up the needles again! This time I’m telling myself that I have to actually finish something (this is where the ADHD comes back into play from #1) and I’ll be back into the grove… well I have a million excuses, along with the 9 above to give ya but the truth is I’m a little on the pissy side lately and if I mess up I’m going to end of stabbing my eyes out. Oh an extra one….

Ok, I know this is doctored but Sid was just cool!

11) Digging for Gold: Oh well guess what my baby is doing in my bag? He is hunting for hair bands! This little bandit steals all of them and when I go to put my hair up I end up searching the whole house for just one. What a cute little brat.

12) The Vatican issued a set of “Ten Commandments” for drivers: Yes the Catholic Church has now given us "rules" of driving. Now, I can think of much more effective commandments than what the Church can come up with! Check it out! The Driving Ten Commandments!!!!

Here is a couple of cute little baby pics...

This is what its all about... well until the brawl starts!

What Will Your Famous Last Words Be?

The Freakiest Thing EVER(ok, well close)

So here I am trying not to bang my head on my desk at work... oh how I need a vacation!

Well I decided that my little vacation will involve myself and Ebay... what a treat!

As soon as I opened up ebay something caught my eye... And this is Me talking to myself outloud at work (I need a vacation remind you) "A Mermaid!  How cool... what could be sweeter and happier than a Mermaid?

OK now what is the next word?  it couldn't be CORPSE?  A MERMAID CORPSE?  No way... it freakin (yes I say that A LOT) couldn't be!!!"

So here I share my gem of a finding with you, Feast your eyes on a for "real" dead mermaid! 

Is this Fact or fiction? (ok, so I finished reading the description and let me tell ya that is sick!)

Just as a bonus... here is a freaky Lastic baby:

Lastic Baby?

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)

Sprites_i_go_crazy.mp3

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~

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!

Happy Happy Joy Joy

OK… so if I thought I couldn’t have a perm-a-grin without some kind of drug I was wrong.  After years of looking I found a lost ex-boyfriend of mine from when I was 17.  We stayed really close friends until I was about 25 when I got married and moved away. Now he lives all the way in Minnesota so that sucks but I’m planning a trip up there to see him (oh boy am I’m going to be a kid in a candy shop).  Now one thing that is going to suck really bad is that as we all know it really COLD up there and being a little southern girl used to being warm, actually love being warm, it isn’t going to be a wonderful thing for me.  Boy 2007 has been so great so far, it’s only 2 months in too!  Well he told me of a song that makes him think of me and smile…  I swear I love that guy to death!

Here is the song....

regina_spektor_fidelity.mp3

My nights have been spent talking to him for hours on end instead of knitting.  I think he is melting the ice around my heart and has actually made me cry with happiness.  So this blog is not about knitting but about other happy things.

Man there has been so much going on!  My cats received their new cat tree on Monday.  You would think that after the sweat and all the cussing that I did they would be all over the thing… but nope they aren’t!   Aren’t ALL cats in love with those stupid trees?  Are my cats on strike against me?

Well here is the tree from start to finish…. What a pain!  If I knew that I’d actually have to put the thing together AFTER lugging the 60lb box up my stairs I doubt they would have the tree to ignore.  I got a great deal at www.stepsforpets.com. They have free shipping AND they donate money to a shelter of your choice!!

The Beginning....

OK... now you see Trixie was all about this thing BEFORE I put it together...

And this my friends is the "all-in-one" tool...

The finished tree that the cats won't play on... see how scared Rufus is

And she chooses the box!!!

Oh yeah here is another cool thing.  Sunday is my birthday, hell I’ll be 34 and I am not happy about it.  But today at work a girl gave me the cutest thing ever its a figurine made by Jim Shore,I just love it!!!

New Fugly.... go see

I just posted a new Fugly... check out the Elmo Kid!

So I have finally bought myself a new camera... finally!  I'll post some new pics soon... I've been so busy that I haven't had time to knit or do this blog... my life has turned into working and stressing out all the time and not making time to be happy.  That needs to change if I can just get myself out of this funk!

Here some music:

Movin On Up to the Eastside

Well not much knitting on this end... I've been busy searching for a new place to move and guess what I did! I am moving out of this hell hole forever. My advise to anyone in Savannah never ever rent from Coleman Rentals. The owner use to keep the place nice, but for the last year or so there is no repairs being made to a house that is falling down. Last year I reported being SHOCKED by a wall in my house and her still not fixing it until I told her I was moving and then she just painting over the problem so the next person moving in won't know.... what should I do???? There is some major elec problems going on.
here is a picture of the wall...

Sad... that she'd let such a great place fall apart

anyhoo... here is the new place... the top floor of this carriage house behind a huge mansion downtown..

So my friends Rachael and Wendy are going to help... can three girls actually move my place? I sure hope so. If anyone wants a huge sleeper sofa with major cat scratch damage let me know or I'm calling Goodwill to get it....

Here is a great pic of Rach... I just love it...
