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!!!!

Halloween, Psycho, Gore with some Knitting on the side...

So last night I had a pretty good time.. I was asked to be "murdered" Psycho style for the halloween Hell on Earth party... So it looks like my friend Missy will be stabbing me to death in a few weeks.  We have rehearsal soon so I'll find out what more is involved.  I do know that by the end of the night I'll be drenched in blood.  They are even bring in a bathtub for the scene. 

The suckie part is that I've already started working on my costume... I was going to be a zombie but you can't have a zombie get killed in the shower scene of Psycho.

So in honor of  halloween here is a great video I found on myspace videos!

A short thriller with KNITTING?  Its called The Heavy Spinner... oh yeah, just a little heads up its a little gorey...

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...

Baby Fever!!!

So as my week in ATL is coming to an end I'm feeling a little sad.  It has been so cool to hang out with my best friend and the new baby Dylan all week.  Well except for today which was "hang out with parents" day.  It seems that the older I get the easier it gets, it does help that they spoil me when I come up to see them.

So here are some pictures of my new God-son Dylon Elliot (8lb 11oz 21")...

Here is Dylon with his beautiful mommy:

Well of course sitting around the hospital for 3 days and her loft yesterday I've been busy working on my first pair of baby booties... I'm going to go to Hobby Lobby tomorrow (which is a treat for me because we don't have one in good old Savannah) and pick up some pretty ribbon for ties.  I also need to find some size 0 DPN and I know they are hard to find so I hope they have them...

Well here are my booties....

I used the pattern from Fabulous Yarns... http://www.fabulousyarn.com/babybootypattern.htm     I love this pattern because she referenced a bunch of patterns and just came up with an easy fast pattern.

So now Wendy wants me to make some "Better Than Booties Baby Socks" at http://www.interweaveknits.com/freepatterns/pdf/Better_Than_Bootie.pdf . That is what I need the tiny 0 DPNs for and then the yarn that is used Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock is so beautiful I'm getting excited. I found some good prices on EBay. She likes these which are the chevron lace pattern.  Of course they aren't going to be pink... he is all boy!!

Well I'm off to call Ash and head to bed.  Gotta get up early, well 9am which is early on vacation, to go have coffee with a old friend from my alternative High School... yeah I was a trouble child, go figure!

Envy is the ulcer of the soul.  Socrates

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...

All Disco'd Out!

First I wanna start out with a song that means a lot to me... its just reminds me of some great memories!!!And no it isn't disco!

Devil_Doll-__It_Was_Raining

So its 2:30pm and I'm just now getting up and going!!  I'm getting to old for the all nighters!  Went to a "somewhat" of a Disco last  night... After a little bit I took off the extensions(thank god!!!) and hit the local punk bar Jinx!  If that is the only club I go to in this town I'd be happy!!!!

I Will Survive Dance Remix

So the Savannah News papers was there and they got a pic of  me and my friends. To the left is Missy (as Blondie), then there is me with my Disco Yarn Extentions and the guy is my friend Chris Cook.... he puts together all these parties and things in this town.

I did however score a pair of kick ass shoes... I'll have to post a pic!  Glitter platform made by playboy!  I felt so darn cool(ish)!!!

So I have vow'd to get my ass in gear today and work on my arm warmers from Pretty in Punk.  I had one almost down and realized I dropped a stitch at the very beginning, damn that sucks.  Some time I feel like I frog more than knit.  I think it doesn't help that I am an perfectionist!

I know part of this knitting slump is that is it HOT HOT HOT here is Savannah. Temp is high in mid 90's and heat index aroun 110!  I can't even cool down the apartment lower than 83.  The worst is the humidity, as soon as you get out of the shower you feel like you need another one!  Well I really need one right now!  I'm sitting in my usual Sunday afternoon the coffee shop with glitter still on me!  Hey I like to look good during the day too!!! HA HA HA.... I'm just lazy!

Cat Overload

Well I've been busy busy busy... I have become a foster mom to four orphan baby kittens.  I found their mother, which was the sweetest baby, dead in the road last Friday morning.  I sat in the road and cried until I realized the kittens where somewhere.... I never did find them but on Wed when I was home sick they found me. Yes the cat woman has MORE kitties to take care of.  Here are all of them on the day I found them...

Today they have grown so much... the little grey one I call Mr. P because he pee'd on me... oops... but here is the only little girl, she is just sweet but not as rambunches as the others...

So I know most of you don't live near here.... but I'm so desperately trying to find homes for them.  I don't want them to end up in the Humane Society with the tons of other kittens or dead in the street.  They are all very sweet and social. 

On the knitting front... I've decided to work on Death or Glory from my new Pretty in Punk book; There are a lot of cute things in there... LOTS of black which makes me happy happy happy.

There are actually two are warmers... I'm doing the crossbone one first... maybe the skull with out the mohawk for the other arm... who knows.

I have to start on a baby booties and blanket for my friend.  I got a suggestion for converse booties which I love but I can only do a chain in crochet and really don't have time to learn more right now.

Not sure what is going on with the relationship front... just going with the flow with the boy.  I've got my wall up again so who knows what I'll end up doing.  If I don't stop it I'll never have a kid... and my clock is ticking... don't want to leave my "estate" to cats when I die. 

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!!!

When Obessions Collide

Now I would never normally call myself a groupie or someone that would EVER be obsessed with a celebrity or musician. However on Friday night thoughts of knitting AND a super awesome singer came to an intersection in my life.  How could this ever happen you must be asking yourself... It really all started out very innocently.(really it did!)

Down here in the deep deep south there isn't much of an alternative music scene, so pretty much you take what you can get.  Growing up in Atlanta I was a devote punk rocker and have somehow lost my way during the last 10 years trying to find myself and trying to be something I'm not, like the doctor's wife and part of the work girlies.  I was so unhappy... This is the main reason I started to knit but I knew that I had to find my way back to the days when I was comfortable with life. 

Little by little I've found myself back into the Goth scene which to many it would seem quite strange but it is actually a pretty peaceful and romantic way to be. 

I try to attend as many theme parties I can here in Savannah, always looking forward to the First Fetish Friday.  Well last Friday has been one of my favorite entertainment night since I've been here... 6 LONG years.  Goth singer Voltaire came down to play at our Black Oaks Asian Infusion Night.  Not only did I get to dress up, I got to hear actual good music.

Here I am right before leaving the house for the night:

OK.... So here is where the obsessions collided.  Voltaire is such a hot guy (yummy actually), wearing tight pants, a cool KNITTED sweater and being a really down to earth cool guy got me totally having a HUGE crush.  So here it goes... the knitted sweater.... did I like the sweater more than him?  ummmm

One min I was thinking... damn that boy is hot... and then the next I was like "I could make that sweater".  How could this be?  I was at a great show... hanging around Voltaire and thinking about knitting.  My friend Missy suggested I knit sweaters for both of us and wear them next time he comes... oh what groupies we were.  However, I did get out of there without humping his leg - can't say that much for Isis.  I am happy to report that when I left I actually got a chance to hug him since my little group were about the only 5 people left at the club and he said I really smelled good... its Karma by Lush and I'M NEVER GOING TO CHANGE IT!!!!  Here is a shout out to Lush.

Who knows which one I was more excited about, the sweater or the guy?  I guess I will never know.

Here is one of his songs... his music is a little dark, a little gorey but always has some humor to it which is what made it totally awesome!

Voltaire-When You're Evil.mp3

We laughed and we cried.... even one weird (preppy) drunk guy came up and said "I have been SAVED by Voltaire"... music wise I think is what he meant. ok well we didn't cry and yes I will stop typing now... here you are... VOLTAIRE

 

Gettin' My Freak On This Week

OK, So I’ve been busy again… this time with my new guy that is a total handful! I love to watch myself pick the same type of guy every time. Why is this? I'm attracted to really smart guys but with that comes with a man that seems that can't ever be content with life....
Here is my mood song today...

Download call_me_when_you_are_sober.mp3

One thing we do have a lot of fun… here is a picture from two weekends ago at Fetish Friday here in Savannah. I’m in the middle, to the right is Jay and to the left is Missy (Jay’s best friend).

I can not wait.... this weekend is the Pussycat Burlesque show which is going to be so much fun! I going to have to find a kittie outfit to wear… I’m sure I can find SOMETHING! I wish I had more time because I'd actually would love to knit it!

My goal this week is to find something to make the girls here at work.Since they see me knitting all the freakin time they all want something! I don’t think they understand that once I do one thing for them EVERYONE wants something and they expect it to just come right out of my butt. This stuff takes time! Hello some people work 10 hour days!

I'm Given shoutouts!!
I just joined the yahoo group Knitlist and let me tell you I'm so happy I
did! I was a little scared because of all the emails but these knitters
totally rule! I have gotten so much help with my Christmas gift problem.
I've finally feel like I'm getting into the "WWW of Knitting"

Also, the cool chic at Knitty Otter reminded me to check my rss feeds and now they are back up.... such a slacker I am. You go my
fellow smartass knitter!

Well off to make up my mind for the damn Christmas gifts.... suggestions so far I'm thinking about:
Spa set - washcloth, headband, and soap holder with homemade soap
Felted Bucket/Holders
Socks
Felted Wallets

Hey let me know of anything you can think of (there are 10 of them)... trust me I need all the help I can get and not just mental help!!

De' Four Coolest Knitters/Crocheters in The BIG SAV

To enjoy my blog... here is some theme music....


The Killers - "Somebody Told Me"

Finally, the group of cool knitters in Savannah are making some progress. Wednesday we pushed through the major rain storm... which for some reason has become a staple to our Knittin, drinkin, bitchin, smokin and rainin.

Shana and her baby hat.. I think progress might have been made.







Here is Kim... she crochets but I still like her. And what would be knitting without a cat? Or Three hanging out helping?










"Aunt" Judy... what exactly is that going to be now? Have you figured it out??????







and Finally the progress I have actually made on my shirt.... the back is almost done and I'm not even jealous because Kim finished HER back on Wed....

I just want to give a shout out to bondage, porn, drinkin, gangs and yummy freakin pizza and the other weird obsessions we 4 have... oh yeah and the 1 degree of Savannah. Watch out SAV here we come!

email me if you want to join the group

There is no crying in Knitting

This weekend has been one freakin crazy time.  I got to Atlanta on Thursday night... the drive from Savannah really sucks.  I16 is the most boring highway known to man. No signs to read, no exits nothing but trees and road... on the drive up I hit 180,000 miles on my little Saturn... I decided that it would be cool to have a little celebration... ok I took a picture but I had a lot of time to play with it.... I think I might have to frame it and keep it for when I'm rich and driving a Mercedes...

What a relief it was when I saw the sign for Downtown...

After spending so time with the padre's I made it to my friends loft downtown Atlanta.  Four of us went out to dinner to say goodbye to Wendy's old nose cause Friday morning we headed to Dr. Malony's office, awesome doctor to get her a brand new nose.   Here is the before picture... yes she is a really cute girl... and I love her so much...

Here is Wendy and Robert during the "Goodbye Nose" party.

Here she is at 6am getting ready to be wheeled in... he he he, what a cool fashion statement...

So you know I really thought that this weekend taking care of her would give me a great time to work on that damn blanket.... but getting up a million times and being stopped because of changing all that nasty bandages I realized that I need to just give up!

So here I am is 2:16am and I'm awake... I have about 15 mins before I have to change her ice pack.. and our friend Bruce and Robert just left.  We watched a great movie... well especcially is you have ever waited tables...  here, check it out  Waiting the movie.

Well here is the blanket... screwed up again so I put it down... I've learned another lesson in life... after a pain killer, a couple of beers and at 2am don't try to freakin knit... IT DOESN'T work and you will start to cry... so I've put it away until I get home!

I just saw that there is a new Knit 1 mag out... I've got to get out and get it. The cover picture is ugly as hell and I hope that doesn't really tell me what is inside.

I really wish I could find more alternative patterns out there since there is so many young knitters.  Like some more gothic looking stuff.  I'd like to find all the cool books and get a collection.  Then even when all of it is out of style I can look back and see how cool I was.  : )  I'm also looking for more skirts that are knitted and not crocheted since I haven't learned that yet....

When I get back to Savannah I'm going to post all the pictures of Wendy's surgery... its pretty funny.  Right now I've got to get the ice pack changed.. a woman's work is never done. 

It is better to love and lost than to be with a psycho forever.
