A Week

Tuesday night

Hai

Ya know, it wasn't the worst week ever but it was lumpy, bumpy, a bit upsetting and bad.  Bad in ways that surprised me, hurt me and left me utterly wordless.  And yet here I am...

Those tiny little things that possibly crazy people knit?  Amigurmi.  Yeah, no idea how to pronounce it, but that's okay.  I'm an internet knitter.  I don't know how to pronounce lots of things.  Anyway, may be falling in love with some of those tiny little things.  Coming up with cute ideas of things to knit/crochet and give to loved ones.  A tiny case of crabs.  A box of bunnies.  A star to wish on...

Turns out that a certain someone was poking around my favorites on the Ravelry machine and thought that just because I "heart" something means I want it.  Poor sweet silly thing.  Btw, this is why I keep my etsy profile locked down.  o.O

As you know all too well, just because I like (or even love) something doesn't mean I want it.  Hello!  I'm complicated and difficult.  Like I'd ever be that easy or simple to figure out.  Honestly!  

Speaking of complicated, I started a simple sweater the other day for my mother.  So far, so good, I think.  We both love the heathered teal color, and I love all the simple knitting.  Not exactly following the pattern but $5 in Paris seems to be a pattern that works with lots of mods.

Heartbroken over Joan's willow and still in shock over that son of hers.  When I was that age, 16 DID NOT look like that.  I'm just sayin'...

Still feeling fragile but doing better.  Both in general and at taking care of myself.  Haven't forgotten a load of laundry in the washer in a few days.  That's progress.  Still watching too much Doctor Who, sleeping with my phone and trying to keep it all together.  All while waiting for the weather to change... for the better.

Oh!  I don't know if you caught it on the Twitter, but I was wanting someone to make me a Pandapple.  Can't find one online and will never have to time to hit the Hello Kitty store.  No takers, of course.  Even though, s/he does wear a PRIDE sweater.  

I'm sort of off him now.  Partly because there's no point in being hung on something you can't have and partly because I'm just never going to have him.  Also, in part, because a slightly fabulous Hello Kitty in glasses (!!!) arrived yesterday.

I told you that grade school teacher nailed it when he called me fickle.  :p

& Having written to you, I am feeling better.  Always happens, which is why I do it.  Remind me to show you Boo the Bat laters and tell you about the thing I found...

Hoping your week was better, calmer and happier...

I said I would make the Pandapple, but maybe you are impatient because I have to knit for my not mine kids first?

And that son of mine is only about 10 weeks shy of 17, does that help?

[Patty]

And wishing you a better week ahead. :-)

I'm so sorry your week was so difficult. I know our Joan will get you your Pandapple and if she can't, she'll let me know and I will do it after Christmas. K? And, your weather needs to improve now. I can tell a big difference in my attitude since it's cooled down some. Hugs, hunny.

Sorry about the rough week.
A tiny case of crabs...hahahahaha! Cute.
I'd send you a bit of our weather if I could get it in a package...highs in the 40s later next week.
Hope you have a better weekend.

Sorry you had a crapass week. May I remind you that the BevMo 5 cent sale is in session and I've got a case of syrah to help me over the bad patches, at a very reasonable price.

If I crocheted I'd be on that pandapple but I'll keep my eyes open in my Daiso shopping for a facsimile.

Take care kitten!

Please don't give me a case of crabs, even a tiny one.

I'm glad you're taking care of yourself, and I hope that next week is better.

The amigarumi is powerfully cute. My friend Michelle made an octopus (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/octopus) and I almost had to drop the needles and start one right then. You put pipe cleaners (although I think she used wire) in the arms so you can pose it.

I hope next week is less crappy for you.

Thanks to my lack of crochet skills I've been happily removed from the amigurimi craze and haven't knit a stuffed toy in ages.

I love that you send people a case of the crabs.
Have I shown you the Nessie pattern? (I'm making a Boo right now.)
I rather wish Joan's willow had fallen on that horrible giant rodent.

Mine was rough, and full of work and overtime. But yay weekend, I plan on doing what I want and being crafty. Hope next week gets better!

If forgetting a load of laundry in the washer is a sign of mental disturbance I am officially deranged.

[Cheryl S.]

Silly wabbit. I will make a Pandapple for you if you want.

[Sarah]

Oh, I am so sorry that this week has been so very difficult, and hope that the weekend and sweater knitting has helped.

Making the very tiny things and giving them away is so much fun. I occasionally come up with very elaborate ideas that rarely come into being, but am entertained by thinking about them. I currently have one that involves many zombies.

I'm sorry I missed your Pandapple request. I wonder how many you will receive from admirers. I also wonder whether you prefer the pastel colors shown in the pattern you linked to, or if you prefer the brighter, primary colors for him. xoxoxoxo
