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.

By the way there are

3,929 blogs about knitting on Technorati - wow!

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...

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!

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!
