Shut Up & Knit!

Who needs seltzer when there's cobbler?

Peach cobbler, no less.

Not a bad way to start a weekend, right?

Yes, there's ice cream, too.

Happy Friday, everyone!

Hi, I'm a dumbass

Not exactly news, but whatever.

Squish was right.  There are is a garter stitch edging on the scarf I showed you yesterday. 

Last night, I ripped three night's worth of knitting and began again.  I'm not sure I like the new smaller size, but I'm too tired and annoyed with myself to start it yet again.

Today, I will mail out my Tour de Fleece challenge.  I should be able to show you Saturday or Monday.  Need it to arrive at it's proper home before sharing, of course. 

I'm still in a state of shock over the whole thing.  Spindling and plying a pound of roving in 16/17 days is not something I ever thought I'd do.  But I did and my brother and sister spinners tell me it looks good.

I think they are very kind. 

I guess we'll know the truth of it soon enough.

Happy Thursday, everyone!

It was hormones

And, no, I don't want to talk about it.

 

Who knew I could still knit?

This bad photo shows Glorianna in her first six chart repeats.  (Ravelry linkie)  If you have the pattern, the number of stitches you cast on is wrong.  At least, in my world it is.

The chart is 14+1.  The listed cast on in 53.  In my world, 14 does not go into 53 in a way that would only leave 1 stitch behind.  Who knows?  Maybe I'm using that silly earth math again because I didn't see mention of that issue while poking around Ravelry.

I wonder if the designer meant 43 stitches.  Hmmmm...

Anyway, that's my current knitting project. 

There is spindling happening, but it's not the stuff I was working on for Joan.  It's just some weirdo stuff I solar dyed last month.  It's interesting and possibly not in a good way.  Jury's still out.

Way out.  o.0

Home of the CrankyPants!

I have a major case of the crankies happening over here. 

Be afraid.

Be VERY afraid.

I've also had a headache for a few days.  I'm hoping that it all adds up to hormonal stuff and that I'll be fine by the end of the week.  If not, send bail money.

Stolen from Squish, who is still trying to get the sawdust out of her unmentionables:

6. Not good :: Most Everything
7. My type :: Intense, wicked smart and just plain wicked, pretty, devoted, playful, funny and charming.  (Yeah, I don't want much.)
8. Twinkle :: Little Star
9. Actress :: Gina Bellman  (MeOW!)

This just in!

Jessalu pulled her winners for last week's happy news/birthday contest and I was a winner!  Thank you, sweetie.  You are officially the high point of my week.

Yes, I know it's only Monday.  Shut up!

Good thing I love her and have no intention of ripping her heart out.  It's not like she's a man or something.  ;^)

I guess my week is looking up.

Oh!  And I cast on for something lace last night.  With a friend's handspun, no less. That means y'all can relax now.  We won't even talk about how long it's been between projects.

Happy Monday!

Completely Out of Title Ideas

I had two good ones and now I'm used them both.  /sigh

Sky Through Avocado!

It's an avocado "tree" in a pot. 

Do not be impressed. 

No, it will never produce any fruit.  He's living on borrowed time and should be grateful he's still alive.

Today I will be plying these...

No, not all of it.

I'm not that good.  :P

But I will ply some of it. 

Or a tiny bit of it.

Maybe.

After I've had a nap.

Happy Saturday, people!
