I am super excited right now as I managed to find a place with my own house and dirt that I can afford. Of course there is the hang up of not having seen the inside but that will be dealt with in due time. I am trying not to get too excited but its not easy. I think if I am going to keep this up I am going to need to get preapproved for a loan and get a value on the current house and such.In

OK so today I went to my first ever alpaca farm. SO much fun! I think I scared the lady a little bit with how much I was already preparing to do my own ranch/farm thing. I visited Hollyhock Farm today and got to put my hands on alpaca fiber that will still on the alpaca! I had tons of questions as my current dream is to move to my own little (or not so little) patch of dirt and breed and raise

OK I admit I officially suck at remembering to post to my blog.It's not like I am never online, I am, I just don't post. Might have something to do with the fact I really wonder if what I have to say is all that interesting to the rest of the world. Oh well.As for what's up with me. I am still knitting, have a job that I LOVE and am dreaming of being an alpaca rancher part time for now, maybe

OK so I had these plans to take all kinda of photos today to post. So there are visuals to go with the list from yesterday. However one thing lead to another and here it is after 10 p.m. already...Today we figured out, hopefully, what the crap is wrong with the toilet. That is to be fixed this weekend so yay for that.I did get some knitting time, so the ribbing on my sweater is longer but I have

Welcome to the crazy place! :)It has been an interesting week for me here. I have started a bunch of projects, with more to be started and so far have finished only one. In no real order the projects are:1 dishcloth for the kitchen (completed)2 flower dishcloths for the kitchen (to be started)1 bathmat for in front of the bathroom sink (started 1/8 done)1 lined hat with lacy overlay (started)

OK so goofy me made a hat. Its like a billion degrees out. (85+)The hat is the Wide-Rib Brim Hat out of the book by Crazy Aunt Purl. It is made on size 10 & 11 needles so it went really fast. The yarn I used was reclaimed from a poor bag I made and have never really used. (The bag turned out crappy to me) So now I have a fun red hat made of Lion Brand's Wool Ease Thick & Quick. I don't remember

I have been working on granpa's socks. The second one is gonna be a better fit, that means ripping out the first one and reknitting it. You think 2nd sock is bad, try third. This one has been kick my butt too. I have learned on this sock that:- I don't really like knitting ribbing in the round- When turning a heel I have to devote all my attention to what I am doing- Same goes for getting my

OK so I have a million things that I should be doing on a day to day basis and I have no desire to do any of them. I just want to sit around and be a bum.For example Sunday's used to be my big day. I would stop the homework (college) at 5 and then proceed to clean the fish tanks, tidy my room, put all my clothes away make sure I had lunches made for the week and get myself together generally for

I have been promising photos so here they are! I'll start with the knitting...I had a learning experience with this one. It is the "mother earth" bag and there was no gauge on the pattern. The crazy people just told me to use worsted weight yarn doubled and size 7 needles. Its like knitting cardboard. So I did some switching around and got a cute little shoulder bag for my efforts. There is still

So yesterday at 5 pm I finished caulking my bath tub for the THIRD time since becoming a homeowner. You think being a perfectionist at knitting is bad, try being like that with caulk. The stuff takes 24 hours to cure and considering there is but one bathroom in this place you have to plan ahead to be not showering but bathing in the sink. Have you ever tried washing hair that is about 3" from you

Well its been an interesting few days around here to say the least. I am now officially 1 year older, my grandma made it to the other side of another birthday as well. Now we just have to get grandpa to the other side of his next birthday and we'll be doing good.The little 3 legged monster is growing like a weed and will have to go in for his shots this coming week. Then we'll get a little better

Well today is the day. I am flipping just the one digit to make it to the big 2-3!I got some pretty nifty gifts, like a garden hose and hose reel and a little rubber ducky for the bath. No card though, its playing hide and seek. :) The family (mom, me and the gps) are going out for my b-day and my granma's on the 24th, her b-day is the 23rd. So there will be more card/gift swapping then too. For

Well I have been knitting and working and doing other things. As of late I have absolutly no motivation to do anything. I have been playing on the internet trying to find some way to make a little cash. With a bit of luck I will be able to make a decent income and be able to get a job that I LOVE rather than one that pays the bills.In the land of knitting, I got mom's headband thing done. I got

So its been a fun few days here.I finished mom's socks, they need to be "freshened" a little bit so they look less like blobs and more like socks.I also knit a little headband/earwarmer thing for her. Just need to get some ties put on it so it will always fit nice without screwing up the hair.Got some more yarn (I am a knitter its what I do...) to make socks for the granpa, he said he wanted red

Well I am home sick from work, the store manager sent me home, so I figured why not update the sock saga.I have TWO socks going right now, the more completed one has to have the ribbing started. That will be a total snooze fest, however the other sock is at the point of turning the heel so that should be fun. Downside is after the heel is more ribbing *snore*PICTURES!Sock 1 in all its glory!The

OK I made it though the weekend. This may seem like a small feat until you realize the following:- my back is so screwed up that my knees hurt- I had to work most of the weekend doing things that make my back hurt even when its ok- There were MASSIVE storms and hail and tornado stuffHowever I did accomplish something worth noting... I TURNED THE HEEL! Yes I picked up mom's sock and took a deep

OK I officially suck as a blogger right now.I kept meaning to post and I have been online its just I couldn't force myself to post. Then there was this thing with making some cash online, that worked! So here I am finally back again. There has been little knitting going on in the past few, however it is still on the "to-do" list. I have been losing my mind quickly as of late, for example I showed

You know how all the movies and everything make spring out as this lovely bright sunny thing? Well spring around her means random snow/sleet/rain storms. Not to mention temps that would make anyone cringe, it goes from 60's one day to 30's the next. Its no wonder everyone I know is got a bit of a cough. Its hard on your body to be dealing with that crazy stuff.Anyway on to the knitting, I have

So its Sunday and I am at my "real" job. Its been a week that's for sure. I misplaced 2 of my Netflix DVDs, I think they got send to Savers, so those have been reported missing and we'll see how that goes. I am hoping that Savers people found them and chucked them in the mail. I have been knitting of course and have a whole new batch of photos that I should post here soon. The thing I am most

OK as promised I have a bucket load of photos to show of finished objects and such. The sad thing is that this is not all of the projects. There are more that I forgot to take photos of...First up is mom's washcloth. Its just a normal old variegated cotton yarn but look at those AWESOME stitches. Perfecto!Mom and I also had a little fun with kool-aid and wool. This is the still cooling "blood

I have come to the realization that I am more about the knitting than I am about the finishing up to make a "real" object. I have at least 3 projects that are all done but for the finishing up of sewing the pieces together and weaving in the ends. Now oddly enough the ends thing doesn't bother me, its the sewing portion of the whole thing that makes me want to stab something. Therefore the

I took my laptop in on 3/25 for the local computer people to fix. The power post cracked off again, they replaced it with a much better connection point, it's a lot studier than the factory one. I called last week and asked if it was done yet and was told the local schools had been overwhelming them with problem machines. Now normally these people get things done in like 2-3 days so it to take

OK so I made it though a whole week with the kids and today my "boss" called today and said I will prolly get the week off which works for me as I was wondering how I was gonna get my Plasma donation thing started again because they only do the firsts during the work week. Plus I get more time to knit, and read mc-phee books and watch movies, that way! Speaking of knitting I have a load of photos

So I made it though the day. I am impressed with myself for that at least. The kids were up at 7:15 (girl) and 8:15 (boy) respectively and the girl knocked out for a 45 min nap at about 10. I fed them breakfast as per moms direction and we had soup for lunch. They were really good kids and I am looking forward to hanging out with them again Tues. :) Amusing little bit of info, neither one of

OK so I didn't get any chocolate yesterday, I couldn't find the kind that I wanted. However I did have a productive day otherwise I got all the laundry done, cleaned all 3 little boxes, 5 fish tanks, cleaned up my room, swept the spare room, took out the trash, made rolls (and then ate them all), sorted my patterns, knitted a squid, discovered I hated the pattern and learned all about Ben

So its finally the weekend. I am so happy I could puke. I did manage to tidy the yarn a little but not really so much that the untrained eye would notice. Today is looking to be a fairly low key day gotta get my crap together so I am ready to go on Monday when I start the baby gig. In the meantime the next 2 1/2 weeks are gonna be a little funky. I am finishing up the tax job, starting the baby

So I am horrid at posting in a timely (read semi frequent) fashion about things that I have been crafting. I did make a little baby hat in mistake ribbing and found that I like the stitch pattern and may use it for other things. I also started a poncho for the mom creature on size 50! needles. Right now its 25" long (its a 2 rectangle thing that you sew together) and I took if off onto some waste

OK so mom was upset yesterday because I have no posted and she wants to know what is going on in my life. I found this to be most amusing considering she lives with me. You would think she could just ask me what is going on in my life, but I guess its more fun to read about it. :)As far as knitting goes I have been doing a little here and there. I have a book of patterns that interested me, all

Its been a little nutty around here as of late.All the cats seem to be having issues at once. Shilo has the cat version of a chest cold and will be on drugs for a time to make her better. If she is not better in a week its back to the vet with her. Old Man thought his toes were ready for the glue to be gone so he chewed them open and started bleeding which of course freaked me out.

So these last few days have not been so productive when it comes to blogging but I have not had much worth talking about.I am happy because I got my taxes done, FINALLY. Its hard to make yourself do them when all you do all day is other peoples taxes. They should be filed yet this week and then I'll get my money in about 2 weeks. Sadly its already spent with having to get the Old Man fixed and

People from the northern half of the world will understand where I am coming from when I say I feel like winter will never end. This morning we got a couple more inches of snow and this afternoon the wind proceeded to blow it all over the place. I shall quote the weather people on this one, "Continuing gusty winds will cause fresh snow to blow and drift onto already plowed roads throughout Sunday

I know I already posted but I feel the urge to share my "news."After spending a good portion of the morning doing really nothing at all I got out of the house and went to the only LYS in the area. The rest of the yarn supply comes from places like Wal-Mart. Which has little to choose from when one is hunting sock yarn. So I went in and after feeling the yarn up, and reading the labels I and of

Of course today for once is bright and sunny here but that just lulling you into a false sense of warmth. Of course we are having a heat wave with 14 degree (F) temps here, but there is already a winter weather advisory out for tonight already not to mention the travel advisory for all Thursday. :) I love living in northern Wisconsin.It has been an productive knitting time though, the whole stash

So its been almost a week since I last posted. My track record right now is not so good for posting. Is not like I don't have things to share its just I don't get around to posting when I think about it I can't post because I am busy with other things. (work and so on)So anyway I was just reading the news and it came to my attention that the whole rebate check thing is supposed to be made

Ok so a lot has happened since my last knitting related post. I finished the seat cover and I am loving it. Its nice and soft so the little Old Man is laying on it all the time keeping it warm. Yesterday I also got to go on a road trip of sorts. Mom and I hopped in the car and drove over to the twin cities in MN. The purpose of the trip was to go to Depth of Field Yarn and Ruby Tuesday's. Some

The Patriots lost! You have no idea how happy I am about this event. Now I am a Green Bay fan so two weeks ago I was less than happy with the Giants. However was wanting with every fiber of my yarn stash for the Pats to lose because I consider it poetic justice of sorts.

I was just on the local lib website and looked up Pearl-McPhee. Looking for more yarn harlot books. The search tool asked me and I quote, "Did you mean Earache?"That struck me as odd, very odd indeed.

Remember the days when you were young and carefree and wished for snow days so you could spend the day playing at home? Well today was one of those days. We had rain last night and then snow all day today and its blowing and drifting around. Work called me today at like 3 p.m. and said my one appointment had canceled and to not risk coming to work. That's why I like that job, the boss views as

As the title states I have a headache, it just randomly arrived today while I was at job number two. (I still find time to knit, this amazes me.) I think it was from stress and lots of dumb questions. Either way I will be doing some knitting in hopes of stress level lowering.As for my day it was a busy one, got up and @ 6 got my crap together and made it to work, EARLY even. Worked at job one

Today was yet another in a series of freaking cold days. However unlike many of the lucky knitters whos blogs I have happened accross this weekend. I had to venture out, daily for work. Not that I was really required to do that much while at work, most of my time was spent sitting waiting for customers to call/stop in. However the car did protest greatly at my need to leave the house. On the

Well it was another balmy winter day here in WI, this morning when I woke up the weather people said the wind chill was -20 to -40. The car protested when I ran out to start it and the poor thing had to be parked in the full sun at work so I knew it would be OK when I got done. Supposed to be slightly warmer Sunday and lucky me I don't have to be out and about till noon so hopefully the poor car

OK I am officially calling myself a bad blogger. I am online everyday reading other people's blogs I just never get around to posting in my own. This time I am going to use the excuse that I didn't want to post without photos.Anywho time for the meat and potatoes of this all. I have been a busy little knitter making mittens for my girlfriend's kids as I promised I would.In progress...The photos

As anyone that lives in the US knows April 15th is a national day of stress. For me its even better, I am one of the people that helps all the poor tax confused people figure out what they owe or what they are getting back. Either way it means that for the next few months I am going to be more therapeutic knitting due to the stress that comes from tax season. :) I also got a new phone the other

So today is a day of more knitting firsts for me. I made my first sock ever today. However I think the pattern creates more of a slipper than a sock so that one is going in the trash.Behold the wonderful white sock.I also made a cup cozy for my mother, she has a favorite coffee/hot coca joint and they don't give paper mug cozies with the mugs so she needed one.Again in white, I have a lot of

Hello again, I am just back from yarn shopping. The local shop is selling all yarn 30% off till Sat, I just found out last night. Either way I got some nice yarns for good prices. I am thinking of maybe picking some more up before work sat as well.In other news I am going to attempt to make a sock, we'll see how that turns out, photos to follow.The cats are trying to help me type this... :)

Well here we are on the other side of 2007, what a year it has been. I lost friends, gained more, graduated from college, changed jobs, had many new experiences, bought a house and got back into knitting. I can't wait to see what 2008 has in store for me.Now as promised my stash photos (finally!) Try not to laugh its not as big as some people stash but its mine all the same.Now lets hear it for

So its the 27th day of December, we are fast approaching another starting of another year. Yesterday was my moms birthday, we had plans to go to a movie and then go out to eat for steak as is tradition. As usual she had chosen one of her holiday gifts to save till her birthday, in this case I think she was shocked at what her gift was. Anyhow, long story short step-dad and step-bro and one of his

OK so since last time there has been a lot that has happened much not much knitting has been done... I need to work on the knitting thing.The washer situation stands as such: I got the washer for $25 + cost of renting a U-haul to move it. There was much heavy lifting and such involved in that whole process. The end result being we have a washer to wash clothes with an a washer to decorate the

Well its been a great weekend. I worked from 2:30-11:30 Sat and 11:30-7:00 today. Not so bad just looking at the hours but I work retail... and we had "door buster" deals on Sat.In other news I brought my knitting to work with me and have suffered the "what are you doing?!" questions. I usually respond with something along the lines of "I am fighting with my therapeutic porcupine in an attempt to

So far I am rather liking having a blog. Gives me some place to plop all the random things that amuse me as well as giving me an outlet to show off my knitting. :) So the other day a lady posted in a Yahoo group that I am part of looking for someone to knit for her. I was doctor ordered to take a week off work, and got to spend $50 on meds, so I figured why not. I was looking for something to do

I am proud of myself. Today I made my first knitted thing ever from a pattern. This is quite an accomplishment considering I have been knitting since I was 6 (I am 22 now.)I present Mr. Snowman:I realize his buttons are a little funny but I am still working on that aspect of things. Suggestions/comments are welcomed!

OK so I have been feeling down in the dumps as of late. I have no desire to leave the house and all I want to do is lay around and sleep. Not really that great for being in the "holiday spirit" on the upside I got all my shopping done long ago. Today I am going to make an attempt, my first at that, at reading a knitting pattern and see what I get. I am thinking I am going to make a toy. Something

Well this is my first blog post. I have been getting back into knitting and in reading others blogs it made me realize that would be the perfect place for me to share my knitting triumphs and tragedies, along with anyother randomness that strikes me. To start with we have a photo of my cat playing with the xmas stuff.
