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...

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

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!

Ramblings of a Freaked Out Knitter

The Cure Just Like Heaven

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

 

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

 

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

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

http://www.alternativeoutfitters.com/

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

http://www.needled.com/

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

My Chemical Romance: Early Sunsets over Monroeville

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

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

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

I'm actually enjoying this whole cable thing. 

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

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

Portishead - Wandering Star.mp3

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:

The Gossip - Bones.mp3

Joan Jett - Do you wanna touch me.mp3

Charity Links Added!!!!!

For all you good hearted knitters out there I've been working on compiling a list of Charities you can knit for...  I've placed the links on my free patterns page located on the right side along with a few links that have tons of free patterns... check it out...

Cool Pattern and Charity Knitting Links

Todays song - This was actually the very first band I ever saw live in Atlanta... in 1987 when I was 14 years old and that still is one of the best shows EVER: Depeche Mode and OMD which I guess if you aren't from the '80's new wave era then you probably don't know them but they so rocked the Pretty In Pink Soundtrack...

Depeche Mode-I feel loved (dss club mix)

Day of Freakin Songs... Heck Yeah!

OK... bad day already and its only 8:44am!  Why is it when you get a new car everyone decides they want to try to hit you?  What idiots that drive in this town!  So in order to make me feel better I'm going to share some tunes... enjoy!

Pixies:Here comes your man.mp3

Bloc Party: Banquet.mp3

Prince:Purple Rain.mp3

I'm trying to find the perfect home for my little precious... she has to be the cutest kitten ever and if it wasn't for me being scared my Giant Rufus would eat her up I'd bring her inside.  Right now she is living in my courtyard with a few other wild kitties, but she is special... now I have to figure out HOW I'm going to actually let her go.  I'll miss that sweet face, so who knows I might end up keeping her... darn it I don't want to end up the Old Cat Lady...

I'm on the EDGE man...

First, song I'm listening to right now:  Indie Rock and Roll by The Killers

Enjoy: The Killers - Indie Rock and Roll.mp3

OK so I'm just so proud of my lace edging for one of the gift facecloths that I'm making.  Not really sure if they will be able to pry this out of my hands -

When I'm finished this is what it SHOULD look like:

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...

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!!

This Song Touched Me...

So I'm going to share it... it reminds me of how I use to be and what my parents went through trying to deal with all the mess.
Blue October - Hate Me.mp3

I'm headed out of town to see my new man... and I'm taking my knitting since he has to work tomorrow night, so I'll have time to work on my bag... yeah!!! Anytime is a good time to knit!

Dedicating this song to Jay because when I think about him singing it (ALL THE TIME) to me and making me dance:

The Fray -Look after You.mp3

Bang Me Again Baby - MUSIC

Heaven doesn't want me and Hell is scared I'll take over.
