Loves her new shrugger!

Now Taylor wants one in this color

But I want to make something for me...(my children come first, my children come first...) hahaah
Swak all!

PS I went to my LYS today and found this yarn called Dream in Color Yarn, and of course I got the beautiful sockweight one that was the exact color (Gothic Rose),that is shown in the photo on their website. Its hard to photograph because its dark. They also introduced me to a some new circ's that theyre carrying called HiyaHiya Needles! Im tellin ya these kats are going to put addis out of business! Theyre lighter and feel the same...it was a trip!

SCHOOLS OUT FOR SUMMER!!! ...

2007-06-07T19:37:00.000-05:00

Ok well at least until the middle of August!hahah So I made it through my first graduate class with FLYING COLORS!! Hint my friends, GRADUATE SCHOOL IS EASIER THEN UNDERGRAD!!! Why they dont tell us these things I do not know! So with that bit of lovliness said...

I got an early start, last weekend I went and hung out with my favorite girl thang Joye, and we had a blast just hangin' out at this tiddy little pad tucked away in a corner of Appletown, Wisconsonian (Appleton, Wisconsin).

Joye thought we were at a gay bar at first cuz the place was like a dued ranch and they were playing disco(which we both love) or something comparable at first...Oh and they had this in the bathroom! Yes they were everywhere, she has more then I do actully but this was nearly the worst one right down to the veins!!!! hahaah

Oh I also got to see my fairly goth son for the first time his name is Xander and he has my most favorite color of hair in the world...RED...

And the topper on this great weekend filled with lots of rain from the goddess to replenish this wonderful earth ended with a trip to Don Smiths for Yarn for the ladies and Hershners, who is having their annual sale starting this weekend! I seriously need to join a SP exchange, AND get more storage AND get back to knitting!!

Look at what that Soical Knitter went and did!

2007-05-25T16:12:00.001-05:00

That woman sent me 16 bloody balls of Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Chunky,two skeins of soy silk, The book that a fantastic book called Yarn Play by Lisa Sobahana Mason (whom I completely adore), and a Lantern moon Black Sheep tape measure, (that means I can give the grubby white one thats about to lose its head to my kid! EOOOOWWW)and a wonderful card.
Rachel I love you with my whole heart,boy did this package just pick me straight up out of the shit pound I was floating in last night!! I love you angel! Thank you for being part of my life!!

In other news that doesnt even compare to this is some of the yarn I got about a month ago at The Knitting Room. Again Miss Rachel told me about some yarn that I had to try called Frog Tree so of course I did! I got four skeins of Alpacha for 6.45 a skein and four of merino for 6.35 a skein! Does the woman know her yarn or what?

So now this is what my stash looks like and I dont think I can fit anymore in there... I think im going to have to join an exchange so I can buy more guilt free or more storage bins?? hahaha

Boy oh boy what a way to snap a girl out of her funk,Im still struggling to figure out how Stephanie looks so damn good with all the knitting she does! Have a great rest of the day and weekend all KNIT ON!

PS
Sorry for the crappy photos there from my phone!

So yeah I finally got that navy blue that ive been wanting along with their last skein of red and Tay' wanted that that cool voodoo for a shrug! I swear she rocks! The pink is of course for evie, that other pack in the pack is for some multi colored over the knee socks (with old man garters of course).

I cast on awhile back for the back in black sweater from Lisa with the Calmer that Rachel got me and I can actully do something with it now! YEAHHH! I got this

so that I can do homeywork (read it actully read it) and knit!

Ok back to the sticks and strings!

Hi everyone remember me?

2007-02-25T17:00:00.000-06:00

Im sorry ive been gone for so long! School is killin me this semester! Rachel's (I would post a link but I have no idea what her new email is) Steph said I needed to post something because shes in school and she has been doin her thang so I needed to also.

So here goes, when Im not studying Im spending my time with these two little lovies (Oh thats my favorite color of malabrigo! see there everything really is about yearn):

My oldest tried out for a part in the community play Rupunzel and actully got a part as a lady of the court,so were very proud of her! SHES SUCH A BLESSING!

I was in Stevens Point with the youngests daughters grandmother and I got some yearn at a little country outlet store called Don Smiths, it quite something and also went to Hershners and this is what I got:

That brown and white stuff is a little thing called CaraMia from this brand TLC. Ive nver used their stuff before but its an Acrylic( I KNOW DONT SAY A WORD! AT LEAST NOT UNTIL YOU HEAR WHAT ELSE IS IN IT) Nylon, Rayon, and Angora mix for 1.29 and it has 175yd/160m~! There is also this other stuff they told me about it at Hershners and said it was their best selling sock yearn its that Moda Dea Sassy Stripes. Its very bizarre its a self striping ACRYLIC Yearn? Now tell me I was not aware that you could make socks with Acrylic! But its black and white and a bit soft so I had to get it plus it was cheap and has 164 yds/150M. See why I had to get it~! The other is butterfly cotton on sale for 3 bucks a skein so I had to grab a few, even though it is a bit brightly for me! I wish I had time for a secret pal exchange (Punk Rock Gift Exchange) :( Hopefully suomeone will do it this summer also?

Last Sinday was this amazing little diddy at MOA(Mall of America) called Knit out 2007 and they had everyone from Lilly Chin to Bobby Matella is that how its spelled? Joye was up visiting so I went by myself on the second day and guess who I got the privalege of meeting? The illustrious Vickie Howell from Knitty gritty! She is about 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times more adorable in person! She had on these hot pink dickies and black Stellto platform boots! What a goddess! I got a photo on my phone but it looks like crap! Kinda like in a scrary movie when the photo blurs when someones about to die or theres a ghost..yeah exactly like that hahah

So today I picked the new Interweve up also and it made me miss all of you even more!

I grabbed it after seeing that new Jim Carrey flick 23 that was good! I think people dont give him enough credit because he can act! Like in Man in the Moon or Eternal Sunshine of a spotless mind ey??! But Interweve is amazing as Im certain that you all know?

As for Stigmata, if you have switched over to the new blogger and want us to add you just contact Sev or I and well do it to it...I just really am not too hip on being forced to join with a Gmail account, even though I have one...its strange,and Rachel said I need to get out of the Dark Ages! hahaha

Miss all of you tons!

I cant believe it

2007-01-19T18:14:00.000-06:00

I got an A! See what has to happen for me to do well in School, I have to fall off the bloody planet! GRRRRRRRRRRRR! hahahah Wow what a nice break and Spring begins in three daze! WOOOHOOOO!

So how has everyone been? I really loved the the gift exchange and I really hope that someone else wants to take it over because I know that The faboulous Rachel and I arent your girls anymore! hahahah

We seriously enjoyed it we love all of you so much! But the time that went into it was more then either of us had!

So what have all of you angels been up to?

2006-12-29T15:11:00.000-06:00

This little doll right here.....

Shes quite cool! This only the first hit(the outline) but shes gorgeous to me! She has a pick in her hair that has a two thumb fist (Hunter S. Thompson), and smoking gun. I was going to change the gun to smoking RED hot knitting needles and a ball but im not so sure its going to look too hot, what say ye?!!! I was wondering if I should have in smoking bullet holes that is knitting related? Any and all help would be fantastic! Grati all!
