My poor poor mellophone

Damm you fun fur.....

To hell with it.

I'm just doing one of those official "Ill do or knit whatever the hell I want" post. I'm a teenager, I have no money, and I knit. Big deal that I use that big bad monster acrylic to make things.

So to the thirtyish year old woman (slowling hacking away at a crap $200 garter stitch novelty scarf) who turned her nose up at me for knitting away at my hoodie in Carons simply soft. Who scoffed at me as if I, even after three years of knitting, knew NOTHING. I can do cables, I can do lace, I can do frickin insaria and even steeking. you...can do a novelty scarf. Congrats to you, now go die.

sweet!!!

You Are a Christmas Sweater!

Over the top, colorful, and totally flashy.You're not afraid to be a little tacky.

What Crappy Christmas Gift Are You?

a tubey that came out of nowhere

Ok, so wednesday after dinner I get bored. Knowing that I'd never get to place the cotton fleece order before december, and that I had enough leftover yarn to make a few stripes with, I venture out and buy four skiens of Paton's classic merino (brown) to make a nice tubey. I've finished the shrug/sleevey part and just need to make the body. Sadly my camera's broke so I have no pictures

but if it's any consolement:


:-D

coffee is my friend, on the other hand

Ok, I've calmed down now...And i've also remembered something.
that wal-mart sweater was awsome to me, but didn't really keep me warm at ALL in the winter days. I remembered also that I have a wool coat I wear quite often in winter, and a sweater to wear instead of it would be quite nice...

so a WOTA cardi from The Knitters Handy Book of Patterns is in order for me :-)

cabels are not my friend

ugh, i cant think of words for how much my head is buzzing. I've been looking all day for a basic hoodie pattern, done in a cotton/wool blend that could replace my BELOVED hoodie, which due to holes, is retired. I went everywhere with it.
I went to school with it
slept in it
went to monster truck shows in it

it was the greatest life a wall-mart hooded sport zippered sweater in brown and purple could ask for.

the only pattern I could find:

oh I hear what you ask chillins: "how about mirah?" nope, no way. that thing takes up 2007 yards to make. which, at the EXTREMELY discounted price i can get for cotton fleece, makes it still $45, too much. I'm a cheap ass, for good reason too.

I've come to the conclusion that cables eat too much yarn, and thus are not my friend because they make me pay too much money

allergies

Good grief, allergies have gotten a hold of me. Although it doesn't help that I went to pollen-world (aka. Cypress Gardens) yesterday, for now, I"m blaming it on the cat:

yes, I know it's not a cat. It's a Namu, but he looks A LOT like my cat and I have no cat photos.

but on to things that make me happy:

• I'm going to purchase a CARPLOAD of cotton fleece off of ebay to make me a sweater.
• Over this time I haven't been blogging, I'm been stash clearing. I have absolutely NO yarn left in my stash (well, until the above happens)
• I figured out how to do bullets.

on my final note I'll leave you all with a spiffy picture of the tree-man in action

happy (belated) Chuck Norris day

I was too busy partying in celebration yesterday.

I'm not dead, I just don't post on blogger all that often

eh yeah, pretty much just when my FO'S are piling up and need attention. Its ok chillins, i got some FO'S coming up pretty darn soon :-)
