sg's place

I received a card from gommeke. The neighbor brought it over today. Apparently it got mixed in with their letters.

I finished the shawl I was working on!

Migraines still are not fun.
knitting like a fiend keeps my thoughts away from how little the meds help.

fledermaushund had updated her journal. She's feeling contemplative. I think she's decided she wants to help a family out instead of receiving presents for Jule this year.

Why friends don't let friends knit stoned:

Exhibit one: cast on four stitches, knit, pickup four stitches for total of 8, increase every other round until have 32 stitches on needles. Behold a toddler's mitten



Exhibit two: cast on TEN stitches, knit, pick up TEN stitches for a total of 20, increase every other round until have 72 stitches on needles. Behold a Man's size large sock


Seriously, I need a cage and a keeper.

Allergy season has merged with a head cold.

I'm trying to relax by knitting.

I am a cheap drunk.

Cold meds + sg = stoned sg.

I just realized the toe up socks that are supposed to be for a large man, are not. I've managed to cast on child's mittens. ROFLMFAO!

Instead of being 'Moaning Myrtle', I bring you happy thoughts!

( and yarn p0rn )

in other news, I mailed out a letter, a post card, and a package to fandom friends. I hope these things arrive safely.

We got hit with storms today. I'm fine. In our family tradition, the house needs repaired. This happens every time Hubby goes to Pennsic. On some levels, I hate this event. :p

finished sock number one

yes, it looks like a boot. LOL

yes, you read that right. I've spent the day working on therapy for me.

It's been a while since I've subjected people to a picture post.

( enter if you dare )

Took the shop on the road and sold a few items.

Since someone is posting like a fiend after being silent for far too long, I am going to be a lemming and post a bit extra tonight.

*on my knees here* I need to know if how this reads. Is my grammar and punctuation all right? Thanks ceria for the beta read. Is it over the top? *wibbles*

( Knitting for a cure, knitting for peace, knitting for healing: )

The Seaman's Church Institute sponsors an annual program called Christmas at Sea. Each year, crafts people knit or crochet hats, scarves, helmet liners, socks and gloves which are donated to this group in order to be passed out as holiday presents for seafarers/mariners around the world.

Participation Guidelines are under the link. You will find links to their patterns on that page. The patterns are pdf files. The items are easy to make.

They are way behind on donations this year. As a result, they've extended the deadline for items to arrive by the 26th of November. Please, if you have the time knit or crochet something for this or another charity. This is going to be a long cold winter, help keep someone warm.

Knitters are a strange lot.

scroll down to see my girls!

I entered a contest by hosting our candidate for President. Read the blog, enjoy the creativity and I hope you can share in the laughs. Personally, I think the Yarn Rally in Austin, Texas at the Knitting Nest is the best of the pictures entered so far.

I finished two projects today!

I've got some fics back from proof readers, I need to do a fair amount of editing, but something will be showing up on Cipher-wotr in the near future. :D

I've been sucked in by Etsy. Two Dogs goes into the crafting biz.

Earlier this week, I kept babbling about exploding yarn. Let me show you the mayhem.

( it spewed )

check this out. Yes, yours truly will knit the winner a hat and have it to you before winter (in some parts of the world)

go find something at the auction and bid. it's for a good cause.

( knit item )

I have learned, never to make another "knit o graph" pattern item again without seriously rewriting the pattern.

I have learned barium really does taste better than liquid potassium suppliment.

I have learned my ability to concentrate is seriously impaired when I am waiting for a specific phone call.

I have learned this election year is a PITA. We got political survey calls every evening for a week.
