And then..

And then nothing...Well not nothing, something..I guess..
Have you ever been in a state of limbo, where you don't know if you should go left or right and your sort of stuck in the middle. Thats me, right now, stuck in the middle. Oh well day by day...

As far as my knitting goes, I have been pouring over Ravelry, love it!! I have four skeins of Debbie Bliss Alpaca Silk and I couldn't decide what to do with it. I thought a slouchy hat might be good, but I wonder if the slouchy hats are still in style?? I didn't really want to do a garment or a scarf with it because it looked like it might get the fuzzy pilling, ewww...and I didn't want that. It is so soft though that I though it must be a scarf or a hat..I thought about handwarmers, but I don't think that it has the elasticity that handwarmers should have... so I started the slouch hat from Wendy at knitandtonic.typepad.com ..she is so fricken funny...and I need some funny these days...

I need to get started on my slippers from cocoknits too, I love those things, now I just hope that I can get them to turn out like the picture.

What the ?...


So I don't really think that anyone reads my blog really anyways..but I know that I have mentioned my wedding. Well my wedding is no more..postponed, or permanately postponed, I am not sure yet. I have a beautiful dress that I am not going to be able to wear, a ring that is now locked up in a safe and invites that will collect dust in a box and never go out to their intended receipients.

I keep hearing, well better now that after you got married, etc..yeah I know..but that doesn't make me feel any better.

Soo.....I am trying to visit friends and family and do some nice things for myself. I got my hair done last night, so that was nice. Next I need to break out the nail stuff, give myself a pedicure..and then I am going to buy a new outfit to wear out with my friend on Saturday night. The funny thing is that I have not bought clothes (other than t-shirts from target) that I have no idea what is "in style" anymore.

I do know that I love my knitting..the other day I was home sick as could be and bought myself the namaste bag from the loopyewe...in olive, but now I wonder if I should have got the other style...hmmm...if it comes into stock maybe I will have to get that one too??

Gotta love

The library!! Since we are poor...remodeling the condo, planning a wedding and of course shelling out massive dollars for the dream of homeownership sort of leave the pockets pretty bare. So there just isn't any money for knitting book or fun stuff. Alas, I have found something to scratch the itch. The library here has this awesome system, you go online, pick out our books, they either email you or you can check on your account to see if they are ready and viola!! The library has them in the hold area just waiting for you :) So I finally had the chance to check out some new knitting books. Now if I could figure out how to do my own hair, then I could get the new Namaste knitting bag I have been coveting. Bah!! Then again I need to pay for the rest of our wedding invites...maybe for my birthday in March?? Hmm....

FO!!

Yes, I have finally finished something. I finished the cable footies from one skein for Motorhead. I think that he liked them, he put them on and wore them the rest of the night and even commented that they were comfy. Yea! I am glad that he likes them and that they fit his big feet. I think that I am going to make myself some but lengthen the leg a little bit so that my ankles done get cold :)

Now I have to figure out what I want to knit next....I thought about the malabrigo loafers from coco knits, clapotis, or should I frog the baby bolero from one skin and try to do it over.

Then again, I have thought about trying to focus on some of the wedding stuff...

Everybody's working for the...

Weekend!! DUH!
This week has been a challege to say the least. I can't wait to sleep in a little bit, watch some movies and do some knitting. Of course I have to go to the gym too, but I am hoping that all of the New Year's resolution people that are crowding every piece of cardio equipment will stay at home at watch boys in tights throw around a pigskin. AKA watch the superbowl....
Speaking of gym, I have been throughly annoyed going to the gym lately. Too many people..just too many, and not only that these people tend to take forever when lifiting weights. Its working out people that does not mean sit on the machine in between sets for 5 minutes lollygagging... Don't even get me started in on the outfits....I will save that little juicy sliver of gossip for another day.
Is it five yet??? I need a martini and some knitting needles!!
