Not so absolutely positively dead.

I'm really not sure what to say at this point. I'm positive that no one really bothers to check here anymore. I tend to write like a hyper 10 year old sometimes, but hopefully things will change.
Some knitting updates to come in the close future.
Huzza for 'ze winter break.

And once again I'm stripped of a sarcastic comment...

....Am I the only one who finds this wrong-looking?

TUBEY IS OFF THE NEEDLES

2006-05-07T16:01:00.000-07:00

YES!!!! I love this sweater, so much to where I've started "The Manly Sweater" from S n B, so I can have another. I don't think I'll be carrying on with my acryllic hoodie, though. The not-blockability of the acrylic is too scary to think about. (lets just say I hated tubey before it met some sopy water and some towells to sleep on)

I'll have pics up soon

My poor poor mellophone

Damm you fun fur.....

To hell with it.

2006-03-23T08:51:00.000-08:00

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

2006-03-17T09:41:00.000-08:00

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

2006-03-14T17:52:00.000-08:00

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

2006-03-14T14:54:00.000-08:00

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:
http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEfall03/PATTbpt.html

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

2006-03-14T09:58:00.000-08:00

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

2006-03-11T14:24:00.000-08:00

I was too busy partying in celebration yesterday.

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

2006-03-05T15:50:00.000-08:00

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 :-)

bleh

2006-02-11T15:13:00.000-08:00

spadoinnnkk!!!

2006-02-11T15:03:00.000-08:00

It's wavy!! My camera couldn't show accurate colors for the life of it (baby blue) So I just played with distortion features of my camera :-D
The ocean tide:

And the desert sand:

And keeping to SockTan (tm) Fashion, there has to be a sock in the making

simple, boring stockinett stitch on Lion Brand Lion wool in Deep sea (these socks will probably have a short life, but a pretty life none the less. And they're knitting up FAST on the size three needles. As a matter of fact i'm already at the hell turn (stop giggling, i misspelled it on pourpose >:-D )

A wonderful day for pajamas

2006-02-11T14:56:00.000-08:00

2005-11-01T19:25:00.000-08:00

woo! i'm special. it's my RIGHT leg shorter than my LEFT, which is much rarer. :-D

CLICK!!!!!!!!!

2005-10-17T10:45:00.000-07:00

i just got back from the chiropractor. daaaammmm, getting your back adjusted feels so good. well, apparently what's been goin' on is that my left leg is shorter than the right (hereditary from my daddy) and due to all the time spent on my feet from marching, it's been pushing my back out of alignment.

that is all chickies

...and apparently i can't spell rhymes.....

2005-10-17T05:11:00.000-07:00

wow, i just now noticed that, sad considering i'm the only student in her class with any sign of a future. :)
well, it's monday. wondering why i'm not at school?

A: i'm finally getting my back checked (i'll post the story later)
B: i messed up my arm at Tarpon Springs (see below), getting it checked along with my back.
C: Tarpon Springs (a marching band competition) saturday took it all out of me. it was 15+ hours (getting back at 3am) of hard work.

Anyways, good news! More yarn and a pullip, i mean, namu on my way!!! yes peoples, i got wolf!!!!
I also got enough cascade 220 to make a ravenclaw PoA scarf and a(n 18" sz 7) circ for the project. cant wait :)

post rymes with toast

2005-10-10T16:52:00.000-07:00

Soo, we're working on poetry in english now, and with all my classes, it's a kindergarden type stuff. Saddest part is everyone thinks it's hard and is failing. These are your furture runners of the world, people.

oh, and here's a random pic of estella!

did i mention that i knit?

2005-10-09T19:48:00.000-07:00

and occasionally have a FO? it's the mini skull tote pattern from www.helloyarn.com

may I introduce you to estella?

2005-10-09T19:35:00.000-07:00

here's my girl estella (nicknamed rebel for her love of james dean) she's very very shy around others (but she has opened up to me ^_^)

and to answer your question, Jake

2005-07-29T22:43:00.000-07:00

word of advice: NEVER EVER EVER MARCH IN A PAIR OF CANVAS SHORTS THAT ARE 10-12 SIZES TOO BIG. and trust me, a belt doesn't help out any of the situation. Anywho, I'm going out about town tomarrow, I'll make sure to take a pic.

a brief little tidbit of my insanity to hold you over till breakfast.

2005-07-29T22:30:00.000-07:00

my shoes, yes, my shoes (not on my feet at the time of the pic). As you can tell, they're old school Converse. They're tan/burgundy/black plaid. And the most distinct part about them: the laces. Yes, those red spots on the blue ones are ladybugs, and yes, the white things on the black ones are these menacing cat eyes. I love these shoes.
