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...

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!

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!!!!

I Want this and this and that and this, Ok I want it ALL

Before I get to the goodies I want to remind you that submissions for Jan '08 Knit Girl will be closed as of  December 21st.  After that I will be getting things ready for the voting!  So come on girls you know you want too!  Also I have a new address for the Knit Girls to make it easier to remember:  www.badknitgirls.com . 
I also have started a group on Ravelry:  http://www.ravelry.com/groups/the-knit-girls .

Ok, so on to the good stuff...
Sometimes people don't know what to get knitters. I know people always ask me or they just get me yarn but as we all know there is so much more to knitting than just yarn.  So I'm going to share some cute things I found I would like for Xmas.

1. We have all seen the plastic knitting needle bracelets but ButterBerries has cute Aluminum ones on her Etsy site:  Butter Berries Etsy store .  I found it when we became Ravelry friends... boy I love Ravelry!

2  Portable Knitting Set:  Boxy Bag zippered pouch, and a Sock and Go knitting tools mini case. It’s great for any knitter who makes small items, especially socks. The Sock and Go case will fit inside the Boxy Bag, along with a small knitting project.  ZigZag Stitches Etsy Store - $24.00

3. Oh who can't forget needles.  The new Knit Picks Options Harmony Wood needles.  Now this is what I want!  Knit Pick Options: Harmony Wood .  $59.99

4.  Well while looking around Knit Picks I found something else that is cute but we probably know that we would never buy one for ourselves.  Crafty Critters by Clover : Sweet cute critters to keep track of your small knitting tools.  $9.99

Danglefree Markers from Hide and Sheep's Etsy shop.

These are just a few ideas!  Let me know what YOU want!

                  

5. Now this gets me excited... knitting in the digital world!  Electronic Row Counters.  From Nancy Knit Knacks.  It can add and subtract rows. 

6.  We all need jewelry don't we?  Cedar Creek Quilt has a cute knitting charm bracelet to satisfy our knitting obsession :

7. Ok, can you say way too cute!  These Sheep Measure tape at the Yarn Tree are cute overload!  The tape actually comes out of the butts, could it get any better than that?

8. We all need more knitting bags right?  Here is a really cute one Lady B    (Lexie Barnes)
      The Lady B is the ultimate carryall tote. Great for knitters who loves a big bags!

9. Last but not least, we all need stitch markers!  I've been eying these for a long long time:

Knitting to Spinning to Dear God in Heaven... Sheep Shearing???

It all started out very innocently... before the day was over I realized I was a major craft freak!

Does it seem that when Christmas time comes everyone wants you to make them a scarf, hat, legwarmers or even a sweater????  I'm shocked about how many "orders" I have now.

Below will be my thought pattern so beware of the craziness that spun off of the simple knitting brain.

All I wanted was a few cute easy scarf patterns (always start easy I say) for the girls in my department.  Nothing wrong with that right? F@*&!

Well then it was me wanting just some ideas, so I headed over to ETSY.com.  There I was loaded down with awesomeness (I doubt that is a word, but it is my brain), but wait... every single scarf I decided that I HAD to make were with HOMESPUN yarns. 

How freakin cool is these homespun yarn?? MAN HOW COOL are these girls that MAKE the yarn!  Hey how in the hell did they do that?

Damn Google!  Did you know that doing one search can end up with a new obsession?  OH NO!!! I can spin right?

Damn EBAY!!!!  In the end I'm freakin bidding on a drop spindle! Oh dear god in Heaven HELP ME

The reason for this little freak session is to let everyone know that If I say I'm going to move to the country and raise my own sheep to shear please PLEAAAAAASE stick needles in my head, lots of them!

Wanna be a Knit Girl?

So it is still on the lame side but I'm getting there!
Go ahead and start working on your submissions.  I haven't come up with the rules or even designed the website yet.
Also if you give me any ideas for prizes or just something cool to do I'll give you a big kiss!!! (now rules will apply on that)

Go see the start of the Knit Girls

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...

Inked Knitters Poll

If you are a knitter who has tattoos there is a poll on my knitting tattoos page. 

Please help a girl out and cast your vote. 

I'm such a freak sometimes...

So life has been a little crazy in my tiny world but I'm somehow making it out of the trenches.  Last night I sat my little ass (really I have no ass)  at home, so instead of heading out to see a great DJ from London I decided it was best for me to do some mediation which for me that is of course knitting. 
It also helped that Ash sent me a huge care package.  Inside this huge 17lb box was a massive amount of stuff from Thymes products.  I was in heaven... it took me at least 45mins to go through all the goodies and try them all out... yeah I kind of stunk when I was done... wow I was Lavender overload!

So it doesn't seem like I have gotten too far on my tam but for me I'm actually excited about finishing it, I'm doubting the colors now, I should have done it in black because everything I own is black, what am I going to wear a brown hat with? Sorry about the pic, I only have my cell phone with me.

Zomibina and the Skeletones - A Chainsaw For Christmas

Well when I pulled myself away from Ravelry for a minute I did a search on knitting porn, why I don't know so don't ask.   So here is what I stumbled on here piece O plastic... how awesome is the pink knitting bondage!

So it seems like superman is actually a knitter... how kooky!

I've seen this a million times but I just wanted to post it so I didn't ever forget where I found it....

Hand grenade purse

So I finished drawing out my knitting tattoo... its going to be of course a ball of yarn with needles that have star toppers and a banner that says knit girl.  Its going to be really small so it will fit behind my right ear almost on my neck.  So as soon as I figure out who I want to do it I'm so there.  Wow, I sure hope I continue to love to knit the rest of my life.

Well off for now, gotta go get kitty food and some smokes.. Yes my fridays off are always filled with errands.

Mike Ness - Sick Boy

By the way there are

3,929 blogs about knitting on Technorati - wow!

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...

Holy Bloody Knitting

Well this is going to be a short post since I'm just not into it today.  For some reason I've been in a horrible funk lately. 

My sweet little "vanilla" friends that don't knit and don't understand me being a little bit unusual (OK that is most people and I'm ok with that) tend to make fun of me about me using my needles as weapons!  I think they see me running around town with bloody needles in hand and stabbing people.   Ha, like I would ever think about doing anything like that, but it is still a little funny!

So when I saw a new ad from Katia Wool called Kill Time, Kill Stress with knitting I almost fell out of my chair!  This has to be the coolest ad ever for knitting! 

So here ya go...

"Kill the stress, Knit"

Finished Booties

Well I just got home from ATL and wanted to post the finished booties... Wendy was so happy!

Here is a great band I was just introduced to... they are awesome!!! Enjoy

The Ettes - reputation.mp3

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...

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!

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.

Check out the new Vintage Fugly blog I just posted...

Zen and the Art of Punk

I'm sitting here tonight wanting to knit so bad but my allergies are so killing me right now and I know I'll fudge it up!  Damn pollen! So Instead of going outside to look at the beautiful flowers around my place I decided to take pictures....( this is the Zen part)

Oh how I wanted to "aquire" this one:

So I've been working on Ash's Iron Cross Skully... it is slow go but I'm pretty proud of myself so far.  First hat, first intersia, second on circulars, first time coming up with my own pattern and it will be my first double point... wow!!!  He is one lucky ass man, but he is making me a old skool tattoo shirt so he's worth it!

Oh you can see all my scribble scrabble, kind of messy but out of chaos can come beauty, or we can only hope for it. 

And I guess if it doesn't fit his big fat head I'll have me a new skully! 

Since I'm getting back to my punk roots I found this awesome knitting book that is not on sale yet but I think this is a good one to check out:

My name is Rhonda and I'm a pattern whore... and I admit it! But trust me, you can
