Did we break Ravelry?

Oh, lord.  I’m going through withdrawal.

On again, off again…

My apartment explodes with yarn and cat hair.

I think my boyfriend may hit the breaking point soon.

I knit.  I crochet.  And then give things away.

…..vague…..Girl…..

Is there a way to organize the thoughts in my head?

Okay.

Maybe I just sound crazy or wacked or just plain silly.  But I have so many ideas in my head that I want to do that it overwhelms me and i end up eating ice cream and watching reruns of NCIS.

whaaaat…?

So many things swimming in my mind.
Sometimes I just don’t know.

  • Raw food diets for my cats? I’m just trying to get them on wet food first.
  • Do I open a shop on etsy?  Do I not?
  • Where should I send all of these hats I’ve made?
  • Time to pick out a new WP theme?
  • I need to win the lottery.
  • Must write down patterns.
  • Must photo work and WIPs.
  • A new camera would be nice.
  • Catalog yarn.  Now.
  • Needles coming out of my ears.
  • Can I get a line of credit at KnitPicks like at the Casinos?
  • Why are recycled/organic/natural (the real kind, not the faked out kind) things so expensive?
  • Will my cats ever get along?
  • Will my brain ever stop working in questions?

mmmmmMMmmmmmm…..

I have to go clean the kitchen now so we can rearrange and I can have my dyeing/sewing station…  : )

Oh – boy – oh! Three things of three things…

Three things of three things:

  1. Pain sucks – drugs can help – some doctors are worth it
  2. Not enough time – too much yarn – don’t have the right needles !
  3. Plastics suck – ReusableBags.com rocks – Some people are working on it…

Deadlines approaching… and my first toe-up socks

It’s one day ’til my birthday which means it’s two weeks and one two day[s] ’til Christmas.

‘Nuff said.

At least I’ve finished my traveling scarves so I won’t hold anyone else up!  And I made myself a pair of socks that I love.  Toe-up, two-at-a-time, magic circle and picked from several tutorials/patterns/guides.  I almost want to wear them before weaving in the ends!!!

:D
