SECRET PAL

oh my I have wanted to post this sinc thursday but I couldnt and then the camera has been doing weird stuff (read odd piccs at best) so I am gonna post this without pics and then hopefully I’ll add some photos later. My pal sent me some amazing pinky teal sock yarn and favorite knitted socks (the interweave sock book) some spinning fiber and a totebag from maryland. oh and some cottony yarn which may become a tank top… there may have also been some chocolatey goodness but you wouldnt be able to find that anymore!! THANKS SOOO MUCH pal I can’t wait to find out who you are so I can better thank you (hopefully some photos will follow all this) . As an aside if anyone has some camera reccomendations they would be much appreciated my only requirement is it uses secure digital memory cards… thanks

the blue bird chirped thrice….

there has been some bad knitting juju in these parts but I am working to remedy the problem immediately…. I started a new sock from Knitting Vintage socks (childs first sock ) in some Louet Gems I think I am gonna use this pattern for my sockapalooooza pal but this one is just a practice one. I picked up Interweave crochet after seeing granny bags popping up all over. I like that its cute and a lil kitchy and I think it’ll be a cute summery bag so I have to get some yarn for that (yeah I know that took a lot of persuasion). I think I have blathered on enough for tonight so… Be back soon (hopefully with some pics and the reason the knitting mojo may have been lost )

Flying wonder mice

got my invite to Ravelry omg its awesome!! Getting organized and while I am there I may have added a few things to the project cue in my head… Go on and check it out. (BTW the nonsense titles might be around for awhile creativity is not working here. )

wahhh

I am such the not happy knitter today!! I was totally excited for this weekend and had a great plan of what I wanted etc. . Well my parade has been rained on and I cant go this weekend. I am so incredibly bummed. Family obligation hopped up and unfortunately needed to be this weekend. So I am giving up my sheepy pie weekend , but I am pouting all the while. Definately need to acquire some yarn this week to make me smile

I was tagged by Valerie and must reveal 7 unknown things about myself. Then tag 7 other people. BEWARE YOUR NEXT!!!
1. I am a craftaholic… prior to becoming a crazy knitter I was a cross stitcher, crocheter, and an obssesive sewer (person who sew)
2. I am in mad love with Adam Brody (yes the dude from the OC and in that movie with Meg Ryan)
3. My first concerts where Grateful Dead shows in utero … my parents were / are such dead heads.
4. I am addicted to home decorating… I watch the shows read the mags and am constantly doing something new around here.
5. I have a somewhat irrational fear of birds (the domestic kind not the ones on the street)
6. I am a caffeine fiend and am at the point where people know if they need me to be functional in the morning they must come with reinforcements from ‘Bucks.
7. I watch A LOT of reality shows (not the normal kind the MTV kind etc)
ok guys I am tagging everyone who want to be tagged… please leave me a comment if you decide to do this so I can read your responses. More news and some FOs later this week ;)
