I just love this pattern! I brought it on Ravelry and have been in a hat phase. I love the way Noro colors just stripe and can turn just about anything into a coordinated piece.

Our newest little friend!!!

2009-07-10T19:42:00.004-04:00

Isn't he a cutie!!! We have added him to our ETSY Store and will be having his brothers joining him over the weekend! He is being called Casper Doll Plushie.

Hope to see you there!

I'm Still Here!

2009-07-05T23:14:00.002-04:00

I have been sewing up a storm, reading a ton of books, and even had a friend come to the area and stay for two weeks. It has been a crazy June. I also turned '40'.... ::cough::

Oh well, time marches on and I have much to do!

Will try to be more thoughtful and write more! So sorry! Booklist coming up in the next day or so.

Take care!

~Wierdlings

SPOILER ALERT!!!

2009-05-23T02:09:00.006-04:00

I can't help it! He is just too awesomely cute!!! I have recently brought him for my sister's ugly bday present! She always gets an 'ugly' present from me and when I saw him at Megan's ETSY SHOP I could not resist and had had had to buy him! She will love him and if she ever read my blog she would get this spoiler early... as she barely had an internet connection, she won't know until she reads this when I tell her about it! I know, I know, I am EVIL!

~Wierdlings

New Look!

2009-05-04T22:36:00.002-04:00

Another new look coming to the blog and she is a cutie! This image as well as the past few blog resets comes from my membership at CILM and from the artist, Jasmine Becket-Griffith aka Strangeling! Check them out!!!

One More To The Family!

2009-05-01T13:13:00.005-04:00

So this past weekend, with hitting the Romantic Times Convention with my sister, as well as a full weekend of sewing... we have added a new family member to our lil nest of siblings!

Meet our curious cousin! Tropical Yeti!!!

He is a bit shy and even tried to escape our clutches, but we have caught him well and true! With a strange craving for 'Runts' candies, he stole into our lives and we are going to keep him. ::nod nod::

(My sister was so excited to see the one I made for Matt Griffith, husband to renowed artist Jasmine Beckett-Griffith aka Strangeling, that she has wanted to join me in possibly creating our own online creature factory. That being said, she has wanted to learn to sew for a while now and this was the final straw! She had to make one of her own! And she did, I am so very proud of her!!! Not only learning (and buying) on her own sewing machine, but figuring out how to cut patterns, hand-sew something more than buttons, and finally taking a project from start to finish in less than 2 days!)

More to come regarding that!

~Wierdlings

New Books Coming!

Pieces of Flair!

2009-04-17T11:39:00.005-04:00

I know know know know you have seen that movie 'Office Space' where Jennifer Aniston has a roll of the upcoming girlfriend to the main actor, but in the movie she is a waitress at like a TGI Friday sort of restaurant. In it she has to wear 'flair' aka buttons with funny sayings on them or pictures.

Well Facebook has a similar premise. YOU can create and share flair with your friends. Pass it on, save it, create 'Flair Albums' on your homepage, etc. The uses are boundless.... and yes, I have fallen again and started to create flair myself. ::facepalm::

So drop me a note and I shall send you some FLAIR on Facebook too!

~Wierdlings

I have been sucked in!

2009-04-17T11:34:00.003-04:00

Goodness, I swore I would never ever do it.. but I did... ::groan::

I fail!

I have joing the league of Facebook people. ::le sigh::

Granted I have found a few High School friends, can keep up with some of my favorite artists (Jasmine Becket-Griffith) and their upcoming works, and even enable a few people with my hangups, habits, and adictions like yarn, plushies, and fairies. ::yes, I am evil::!

Now I have a few more places I have to visit daily on the web. Why can't there be more hours in the day Lord?! You created the world in seven days, can't they be just a little longer I ask you?!

Y-E-T-I spells Matt!!!

2009-04-05T19:53:00.003-04:00

Many of you, unless you are Jasmine Becket-Griffith aka Strangeling fan, do not know that a few paintings of hers have an awesomely cute blue Yeti. Jasmine has stated on her blog and in person how the Yeti, to her, represents her hubby, Matt. Matt is a very devoted husband and partner for Jasmine and works hard and is very proud of the success his wife has developed. To this end, I had an idea.. why not make the YETI come to life!

So I went Yeti hunting!!! I found the fur on an online fabric store and ordered it a couple of months ago. I had planned to work on the project and give him this plushie back in February at the MegaCon he and Jasmine attended, but my RL workload did not lend itself to giving me the free time. I then decided to work on it for their next appearance. The Celebration Art Festival.

Working last week, I drew my pattern, cut the fabrics and assembled him Friday eve, Saturday Day, and bright and early Sunday morning. Each time I finished a portion I had to show my hubby and see his reaction. YEAH! Jasmine gets dollies and Matt gets plushies!

Finally complete, I stuffed him and the yeti and I journeyed to the Art Festival where I presented him to Jasmine and Matt. Their reaction was all I could hope for and they were floored to see him come to life. I forgot to ask Jasmine what his name is!!! Must ask her later.

~Wierdlings

I win!

2009-04-05T19:47:00.003-04:00

Yes, I was able to pick up Pink Lightning Gothic Fairy from Jasmine today! It is absolutely gorgeous!!! I was able to attend the free Celebration Art Festival here in Central Florida where I was able to visit with Jasmine and Matt and even meet another devoted Jasmine Art fan. I have my Pink Lightning home, hung and looking gorgeous.

Unfortunately the hubby was not well and could not attendthe festival with me. While it was a clear day, it was a bit too warm for me, if he had come he would have been burning up and it would not have as enjoyable for him. Also, since he was not with me, I pretty much directly went to Jasmine's booth and chatted with them for a bit. On the way out, I did grab some Paella from the Columbia Restaurant and some freshly squeezed Lemonaid.

~Wierdlings

Such a BAD BLOGGER!

2009-03-31T10:02:00.004-04:00

Okies, I tried to return each and every day to post something on my blog. Not that I don't have a lot to talk about, but its trying to find the time. I go to work, go home, knit a bit, raid in World of Warcraft and the next thing I know its 1:30 am and I have to get up for work. Over the weekends I read like 4-5 books and then the cycle continues. ::blush::

There is SO MUCH MORE TO LIFE!!! I know this, I really really do. ::nod nod::

I plan on moving a lot of stuff from the storage unit to the house, I want to organize my yarn stash more effectively, I want to bathe the cats more often now that they are going outside ::ewww possible fleas:: and finally, I want to spend more time with the hubby, though that should honestly be the first thing on my list.

I have LOTS and LOTS of books to post for my reading list this year and I have joined yet another Knit-A-Long (KAL). Spring Mystery Shawl 09 by Goddess Knits. We shall see if I am able to stay up with everyone once it starts, I always fall behind. This is very exciting and I can't wait to start.

Lots more later!

New Look!

2009-03-09T00:38:00.005-04:00

Yeah, totally updated for Spring! I have been so very busy the past few weeks. Work has been hella-crazy and its only going to get worse this week, though I will make it through! Knitting has been so and lazy... I just can't seem to finish what I have going and don't want to start another project without completing something. Its driving me nuts! Finally, I have let my blog fall to the side while raiding in World of Warcraft. Having hit 80, I am raiding with my guild and not finding time to do anything else, but studying the fights and trying to get my DPS (damage per second) up to make it to the raids.

Anyway, I have a new look thanks to Strangeling and CLIM artware. I will work harder to keep all my juggling balls in the air!

Talk again soon!

~Wierdlings

PS Speaking of Strangeling! I went to Megacon and had a great awesome time! Running into Jasmine aka Strangeling and her husband, Matt, it was like visiting with old friends again. She will be appearing at a local art festival in Celebration, Florida where they live and will be able to see them again soon. She had/has wonderful artwork for sale and on the final day had them marked down so low, I was able to buy a few more limited edition prints!

Pillarwork Cowl

2009-01-20T23:19:00.002-05:00

My latest knitting has proven to be a work in progress. Many times I have had to double check myself, as the pattern is so easy I would forget to stay in rhythm and not remember where I was. ::blush::

I really need to make notes as well! At one time I forgot how many stitches I cast on and had to recount them a few times. ::double blush:: How am I to tell you how I did it, if I don't take notes???

I have written to Ravelry and requested a 'designer' sort of account. It's nothing super special really, mainly a way for me to post free patterns to the database. ::nod:: Or at least I am telling myself its not too overly special, because I see such intricate and inspired designs out there and I am no where near their calibur... YET! ::wink::

So I will chug away and keep creating easy and fun patterns.

Distrato Irish Hiking Wrist Warmers

2009-01-19T21:53:00.003-05:00

I know, I know I have done these sooo many times, but they are super easy, fast and feel great! This pair happens to be two different colorways in pink and green. They are also a cotton blend too, so they are not too hot and can be worn in hot or cool weather. HERE is the pattern for them. Off to finish my next cowl, so I better hurry.

~Wierdlings

Radioactive Birthday Cowl

2009-01-18T20:07:00.002-05:00

Here it is, the Radioactive Birthday Cowl! The pattern is so easy and beautiful, I had to make a few of them this past Christmas Season. This one though was for me and my awesome yarn from Stormmoon Knits from her ETSY store. There is so much per skein, I was able to make wristwarmers and the cowl from the same skein.

Radioactive Irish Hiking Wrist Warmers

2009-01-16T23:03:00.003-05:00

Love love love these colorways!!!! They are from Stormmoon Knits and they are just as eye-popping gorgeous as they appear in the pictures. Very sad to say though that SMK's recently took a new job and her dying has had to take back seat to her RL stuff. Completely understandable, but I hate that I found her so late and could not order more of her gorgeous stuff. ::sniff and le sigh::

Her yardage was also great on these worsted weight skeins! More than 300 yards for only $20.00. Yep, I said $20.00! I was not only able to knit a pair of wrist warmers, but also a Cowl from the same skein and still had a tiny bit to spare.

YEAH! Pictures have returned!!!

2009-01-16T22:46:00.005-05:00

Goodness its so hard to describe the feeling of wanting to post stuff and not being able to because of being technically hindered... aka as -loosing-the-camera-cable-to-download-pictures. Yes, its unforgiveable, but I am still trying to blame the hubby.. (somehow) for the loss.

Regardless, I can now post pictures of my recent and New Year's knitting! ::cheers:: They will be seperate posts, as I want to log each individually for my 'knitting goal' of 50 items. A friend wanted to do 50 Book Challenge, but I actually did that challenge last year and BLEW it away!!! Totally decimated that count. So I thought I would try it on knitted items. ::flexes imaginary toned bicep muscles::

Featured in my upcoming knitwear features will be 'nametobedecided'. Hopefully she will have all sorts of interesting looks and haircuts. Currently NTBD is looking like this and hasn't scared the cats too badly. ::grin:: Okies, off to edit and start posting knits!

Granted that did not include the books I had already read before this date...

At Graves End by Jeaniene Frost
Zen and the Art of Vampires by Katie MacAlister

I also read another new author Lilith Saintcrow's series Working for the Devil, Dead Man Rising, The Devil's Right Hand, Saint City Sinners, and To Hell and Back. Both have strong female leads and some complicated storylines which I really like.

Tomorrow I am heading to Tampa, FL with my hubby and sis. Together we are going to meet Janet Evanovich at the Barnes and Noble and have a great time! I can not wait.

Have an awesome evening.

~Wierdlings

New Year Resolutions?

2009-01-01T23:23:00.006-05:00

Let see... what am I going to promise myself?

Get Healthy! Not necessarily a diet, but beginning with eating more than my one meal a day. Taking a walk twice a week, even if that is included with my letterboxing (which I am going to start as well.)

Knit from my stash every other month. Yes, I know its not perfect, but it will curb my instant obsessiveness when looking at yarn and thinking I have to get it now! Granted current sock clubs do not count, but yes, I will cancel/not renew them until I can really really afford them. January is 'knit from your stash' month for me. ::wince and cry::

Save money! Working with a realistic budget, we have planned to pay regular bills, pay towards my student loan, and still give ourselves some 'mad' money which each may spend during the month guilt free. If all goes to plan, then we will have enough by the middle of the year to plan a very nice vacation for our anniversary.

Blog more! I promise myself to blog at least 3-4 times a week, even if its nothing more than dropping in to say hello or posting a picture of the kids aka cats.

Read more! I shall set my reading goal to 200 books this year vs the easy 50 book goal I had last year.

Finally, work harder at work and work harder at play!

That is enough for right now, though once I have it started, I may be able to fit in even more on my calendar. ::grin::

Happy New Year to you all!

Strangeling Blog Design

2008-12-31T23:48:00.004-05:00

This is my latest Blog template design! Its so fun and PINK!!! The artist's name is Jasmine Becket-Griffith aka Strangeling and I was able to use her work by purchasing an artist's package at CILM. I am currently awaiting my CILM License Number to arrive from the customer service department and will update the blog as soon as its received.

Jasmine is a remarkable artist and her work is even more beautiful in person! I have several of her original works as she sells them on Ebay to the public. She also has an ETSY store filled with prints and her own handmade JEWELRY! Yes, yes, I said JEWELRY!!! Jasmine's wonderful husband Matt assists her in her work by creating one of a kind framed originals with beautiful detailing and meticulous craftsmanship. They are an awesome and wonderful team!

New Year's Early Resolution #1

2008-12-29T22:07:00.005-05:00

I am gonna learn to crochet! Mainly cause I wanna do all this awesome amigurumi projects I admit!!! ::hehe:: Amigurumi means “knitted or crocheted doll” in Japanese. They're the simplest of simple, worked in the round in single crochet. Though I only know one stitch, it would be awesome to read and understand the patterns too!

Lookie what a great find I found on Etsy!!! His creator is named RichmondArt on ETSY and his listing is right HERE

for you to go and visit or purchase him.

I have also found a great number of these crocheted patterns on RAVELRY too.. so if you are a member, hop on over and check out. One I am itching to try after my lil sackboy are these adorable flames!!!

They are by a renowned Amigurimi designer, Roxycraft and

can be purchased and found on her site or on Ravelry, but

whereever you find her designs you know they will be whimsical and unbearably cute!!!

So I hope you are going to try new and exciting crafts this year too!

Meowy Christmas!!!

2008-12-25T21:01:00.003-05:00

Jinx and Aggie wish you ALL a very Meowy Christmas!!!

More Cowls?

2008-12-20T16:03:00.003-05:00

Cowls, cowls, and more ... you guessed it cowls! Boy it has been some crazy knitting over here, but ya know what? I'm not finished!!!! I still have enough of a stash to keep knitting for a while yet. ::heh::

Oh I love this colorway of pinks and purples, too bad the company is no longer in business... ::sniff:: Bye Bye Needful Yarns. ::waves:: I combined it with a black based wool in worsted weight, added a purple metallic yarn, casted on 56 stitches on #15's and in two hours or less, not sure cause I was listening to an audiobook.. it was done! I wore it on our Balloon ride today!

Crafty Christmas!

2008-12-16T22:50:00.004-05:00

Its a Crafty Christmas this year!!!

So this is it! I found these great stones at a local bead store and I could not help but snag them and create something for my SIL. She can wear so many colors with her skin tone its unfair, but then again we all love her!

It did not take me long to make and it was so very very easy. I hope she likes them!

Tuesday Releases - 12/02/08

2008-12-03T16:06:00.007-05:00

Eating through two books in one evening is a bit tough, especially so when you do not get home until 8pm. Needless to say, once I started to read Zen and the Art of Vampires, I could not put it down. Pia, the mc (main character) was fun, witty, and down right charming! She had me laughing with all her inappropriate bursts of saying what she didn't mean to say. Kristoff and Alec, all I can say is wowsers and where is my Dark One now!!!

My main frustration though is not in the writing or the characters, but in the story! The other Dark Ones novels end finitely within their own respective books, this one though, seems to drag onto at least one more... gah.. I will pull my hair out if its more than that! I want to know the end of 'their' story and I want it now... not to wait until May to find out.

Granted I understand it in other series.. but at least you are told up front by the author's styles if that is where they are going to take you. While there is some cross visiting from other characters briefly from other books, this one is gonna make you wait. ::le sigh:: Is it May yet?!

Second of the 'Tales of an Urban Werewolf' series, it truly delivers a great time with Sophie Garou and all of her lost designer shoes, clothing, and unlimited supply of Lady Bic razors.

Sophie has been found in the Houston packs territory and while she has been there for years and years, now the pack knows she is there. Dealing with them is just one of the situations she finds herself dealing with not to mention an uber-hottie by the name of Mark, who just happens to be the president of her newest and biggest auditing account. His sweet smoky scent drives her nuts, but what about her BF Heath? What about Tom?! Her life and your nerves run a rollercoaster ride of adrenalin to see what is going to happen next!

I give them both a FIVE on my Sheep-A-Meter!!!

THE PARROT!

2008-11-28T10:39:00.006-05:00

A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to "clean up" the bird's vocabulary.

Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder. John, in desperation, threw up his hand, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute.

Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly open the door to the freezer, the parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms and said, "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior."

John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude. As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird continued, "May I ask what the turkey did?"

I received this in the mail and made me laugh so very much!!! I hope it did for you too!

Happy Thanksgiving!

2008-11-26T16:07:00.002-05:00

ACK! Time has flown!!!

2008-11-25T23:10:00.003-05:00

So sorry for the lapse in writing. I have been camera-less for the past few weeks, because I can not find the cord to download pictures onto my computer. Worse, I have to have the hubby dl them, put them on a thumb drive and then load them... le sigh!

I did not want my posts to be pictureless.. so I waited and waited and waited and waited! Finally I said to myself, "To heck with this!" and as of tonight will start to post again. Filling in later with pictures of stuff which has already happened and stuff I want to do. ::grin::

Let's see... what has happened?

LETTERBOXING!!!

I have not started it persay.... but I did find the materials needed to make a stamp, purchased the carving tools and rubber medium, and also purchased some E6000 glue along with plain wooden blocks to glue the stamps to.

In this endeavor, I took the hubby to a local privately owned coffee shop here in Orlando which was supposed to sport a hidden letterbox, alas everywhere we looked we could not find the bugger! Not to say its not there, BUT we could not locate it. So I will have to go back again when I have our stamps made and really tear the place apart. ::hehe::

2008 BOOKLIST!

I need to enter the books read/listened to for the months of September and October. I really did not read much in October to tell the truth because I was horrible sick and nothing was coming out at all!!!! Granted that did not stop me from finding a few new authors... but really knitting was my focus!

KNITTING!!!

Gosh.... for the very first time... Christmas knitting has reared its ugly head in my stash, time, and pattern collecting. Three cowls down, one more on the needles... two bounce hats, one on the needles... I have some gorgeous yarn from YarnPirate, Duet Yarns, and some sweeeeet knitting bags from GoodtobeGirl! (Again... pics are a hassle because of the missing cord, but I hope to post them very soon!

Lastly for this blog! The newest pattern from MochiMochiland.com ..... ELVES!!! Anna is so awesome, she even created Christmas Gift Tags that can be downloaded and printed for holiday giving... and when I get paid next week her ELVES pattern shall be mine mine mine!

Knitting Project Bag Club!

2008-10-24T09:53:00.004-04:00

Remember when I told you that I joined GoodtobeGirl's Project Bag Summer/Winter Bag sale? Well, I finally was able to download the pictures I have taken of most of my knitting projects as well as the first bag, which arrived in September!

The stitch markers were so very very cute! A tiny pumpkin and donut in a tiny metal tin. BUT that is not all... you see I had also been/am a member of the Loopy Ewe Sock Club and in one of my previous kits, GoodToBeGirl had made markers for them too... in the same pumpkin/donut way!!!

Yep! I have a full 4 piece set of matching stitch markers!!!

I have already started to use them. I love love love them so very much.

Oh I almost forgot to tell you, on Ravelry is a GoodToBeGirl group. I actually posted recently how I have a full set with the bag and SM'ers... that Amy wrote to me and wanted to send me a second set of SM'ers because she totally forgot about the Loopy Ewe kit. How awesome is she to make an offer like this?! I know... really really awesome, but I could not do it. I love my set and do not want to have her feeling like she upset or disappointed me. So I wrote back and let her know it wasn't necessary. She is so sweet.

Okies.. lots more to write about and post! Talk a bunch more later!

PURTY!!!!

2008-10-23T16:42:00.002-04:00

Ooo the colors, the colors!!!!

Hehe! I just had to laugh!!!

2008-10-08T16:11:00.002-04:00

You've been mooned!

Knitting Galore!!!

2008-10-06T22:18:00.003-04:00

I have been working on soooo many projects its not even funny. I need to post pics of my Hemlockring Throw, a few cowls I have been knitting up between projects, and my most favorite thing recently... BOO! From Anne of MochiMochiland.com... he is so incredibly cute that I need to make him as big as possible!!! So I went out and got the chunkiest yarn I could in some great colors and will be knitting him fast and furious as possible.

I will post pics as soon as I can.

Until later...

So Much Stuff!!!

2008-09-26T13:19:00.003-04:00

I have been doing so many things lately its hard to keep track, let alone make sure to Blog about them!

Working on a Hemlockring Throw that is coming out gorgeous in Malabrigo's worsted weight in the colorway of Violetas. Can you say, "SMOOSHY!" I thought you could!

Next, reading has been on short supply because many of my favorite authors don't have anything being released soon, except for a few here or there. I shall be updating my Book Challenge post very very soon.

Finally, I have been spending money, which I need to stop very soon, as the hubby and I wish to take a cruise next year during Spring Break with my family. So yarn clubs are going to have to be deminished soon or not renewed. ::sniff, le sigh::

Much more later!

Seasons Project Bag Club!

2008-09-11T16:04:00.004-04:00

WOOT! I am in the club... weeee!!! Amy of GoodtobeGirl opened up a Project Bag Club for the Fall and Winter season. It was a reasonable price and luckily I stalk her site often enough to see the offer and send in my request to join. I can't wait to see what goodies are on the way soon.

Funny, I should say that... she just sent out an email to the club members and they will be in the mail by Monday! ::YEAH!::

and still reading books! So many coming out on the 29th!

Woot for new series!!!

2008-04-26T22:17:00.004-04:00

I just love to get involved in a series which already has a few books under its belt. I normally walk in at the beginning of a string of books and have to wait FOREVER for the installments, which I am sure happens to so many of us. But every once in a while I walk into a series which I have missed and am so stoked to find there are at least 3-4 to gobble up at once.... with perhaps a new one out soon.

Thus is the case with author Jennifer Rardin series featuring Jaz Parks. A totally new kick ass heroine who has a world of new and interesting vampires, magic, and techie-geeks. One thing I did differently when purchasing the first book, Once Bitten, Twice Shy. I only bought the one. I held off on the others just to make sure I did like it. Last year I decided to try a new author and bought the first five books of her series and couldn't get through the first one at all. Now I am stuck with the books.. le sigh. Orlando do not have any really good trade-in book stores around. ::eesh::

Anyway! ?I found them to be refreshing and attention grabbing. Ate this one down within three hours and even now am attempting NOT to go back to Borders (10:25 pm) to buy the second and third installments. The fourth book is due out in August! ::Wooot::

So go. Go now! And buy this series!

FO Meter aka Finished Objects

2008-03-05T22:01:00.006-05:00

Yeah! I have pushed past my 5th FO for the 2008 year!!! And to celebrate I made a few FO meter pics so that I can strive to earn them on my way throughout the year... I use them when I post on the Lime N Violet Message Boards as part of my signature.

They are on a purple background with sheep representing the FO numbers... they are in like a Roman Numeral sorta setting..

White = 1

Green = 5

Pink = 10

More colors will follow when I get near 20, but here they are.

= 5

= 6

= 7

= 8

= 9

= 10

YARN P*RN!

2008-02-18T14:37:00.003-05:00

Lookie what I just brought and it has arrived! Its from Jennifer Schermerhorn of ~Whirled Yarn~ and is called 'Charmed I'm Sure'. It is so totally drool worthy! I can not wait to find the PERFECT project for it. Its Wool/Plush Hearts 60yds/180ft. So enough to be dangerous, but not enough to do a whole long scarf, so it has to be something special. Jennifer even included a card that has a gorgeous print of the yarn on the top, so you can give it as part of a gift if I was going to give it away. Which I'm not! ::hehe:: Cause I am greedy like that!

Domokun Peekaboo Mittens

2008-02-11T22:39:00.000-05:00

HA! Finally got a picture of the Domokun Peekaboo Mittens I made for my sister. Yes, they were my first mittens and boy are there some booboo's on them, like one is slightly bigger than the other, the slit for the fingers to peek out is lower in the hand than where I would like it, but all-in-all she loves them, so that is what counts.

::hehe::

Black Cherry Peekaboo Mittens

2008-01-20T19:47:00.000-05:00

YEAH! I finished my second pair of Peekaboo mittens as well as designed the double stitch cherries on top! I also had to edit the Peekaboo Mittens pattern from MagKnits.com to better fit my hand and silly artificial nails. Using the regular pattern to follow, I simply increased a few rows in the Base of the Hand as well as the Mitten top. So to abbreviate it a bit.

Base of hand:
Work even for 12 rows to about 0.5" [1 cm] below top of palm. On last rnd, place finger markers as follows: K 24 (27), pm, k12 (16), pm, k to end.

Work the finger opening the same as the pattern.

Mitten top:
Work 10 rows removing finger markers in process. Distribute sts evenly on 4 needles.
Then start the decreasing for the mitten top.

Using Cascade 220 Black for the mitten, I then graphed the cherries I wanted to double stitch onto the fabric. With a white piece of yarn I ran a guideline to help me coorodinate the placement of the design. Wallah! Black Cherry Peekaboo Mittens!

Irish Hiking Wrist Warmers 2

2008-01-09T01:06:00.000-05:00

I just love love love this pattern, that I can't stop making them. I worked and completed a pair for my mother who is a postal carrier. They are in navy and a light grey and are so cute! Going to wait to seam them up so that I can make sure they are a perfect fit for her, when I go home this weekend to visit.

You have got to make a pair! http://www.wineandneedles.blogspost.com/

Irish Hiking Wrist Warmers

2008-01-04T00:26:00.001-05:00

I love this pattern! Gonna do another pair tomorrow. They were quick, easy, and they fit so well!

This will be great for my mom who is a postal carrier, but I think I will need to find a more durable fiber as I am sure she is going to have to wash them often and 100% wool will not hold up to the constant washing and drying.. Superwash here I come!

Happy 2008!!!

2008-01-03T23:46:00.001-05:00

Dear Friends,

The happiest and best warm wishes to you and yours for this new year! May your needles be fruitful and your life exciting. Most of all happiness and health to you all!!!

In answer to this, I myself am undertaking a new and never before done diet for myself. I can't harp on others in my family for not taking care of themselves, when I myself need to do so too. Sooooo... as of Thursday, well it actually started before that, more like Christmas, I have purchased a good set of walking shoes, an Nike+ kit, a small new ipod nano to use with the Nike+ kit, some actual working out clothes and a bunch of food.

If you want to know what a Nike+ kit is.. go here.. http://nikeplus.nike.com/nikeplus/#tutorials and check it out. It is so awesome! You do not need their shoes, I bought a pouch from Marware via Amazon... http://www.marware.com/PRODUCTS is their main website.

Granted I am walking and not running, not yet or maybe not ever, but still, getting out of the house for a good 20 mins cardio is still less time then on my arse in front of the computer. ::hehe::

If you are Lime and Violet fans like me, you will know what Letterboxing is... well I hope to start to do that soon too as soon I as I design my stamp and get a plan together.

Finally, I have challenged myself to see how many books I can read for the year. Yes, most of them will be romance/paranormal ones, but then again I may surprise you. Currently next to my bed is 'You Living Longer'. Very interesting and chuck full of stuff I never knew.

Well I shall be writing more of my exercise and fitness routine as well as my knitting and reading goals for 2008.

Bless you all!

Planet?

2007-12-28T13:34:00.001-05:00

You Are From Pluto

You are a dark, mysterious soul, full of magic and the secrets of the universe.

You can get the scoop on anything, but you keep your own secrets locked in your heart.

You love change and you use it to your advantage, whether by choice or chance.

You don't like to compromise, to the point of being self-destructive with your stubborness.

Live life with love, and your deep powers will open the world to you.

What Planet Are You From?

Merry Christmas from the kids!

2007-12-26T13:19:00.001-05:00

Santa Aggie and her Reindeer Jinx, wish you all a very Merry Christmas!!!

Vampire?? Hmm....

2007-12-03T18:02:00.000-05:00

You Could Be a Vampire... If You Had To

Like most people, the thought of being a vampire has crossed your mind. But you're not sure if you'd do it, even if you could.

Living forever doesn't sound half bad, if you could live forever with the people you love the most.

But do vampires even love? And would the vampire version of you even be you?

It's all too much to contemplate. Luckily, the chances of you ever becoming a vampire are astronomically low.

What you would like best about being a vampire: Living forever

What you would like least about being a vampire: Blood stained teeth

Could You Be a Vampire?

Swap Flakers! ARGH!!!

2007-11-29T21:21:00.000-05:00

It irks me to high heaven when someone signs up for a swap and then flakes on it. WORSE is when someone organizes the swap and then flakes! Both times they have been given awesome kits.. one even from me and yet they never send their partner's anything. I refuse to have anyone not get something during one of my swaps, so I made a Halloween Sock Kit for my 'flaker's partner and am going to send it off tomorrow. Not only that, but I feel horrible that someone from an earlier swap got stiffed too... so I made a Holiday Sock Kit for her. I hope both ladies like their kits.

As the Holiday Sock Kit lady doesn't know its coming I feel safe in showing you her goodies! I had so much fun picking them out and had just the right sock yarn in my stash too!

Going to post them tomorrow so they should get them within a week, as they are in the USA.

Winter Swap Kit

2007-11-27T01:00:00.000-05:00

On its way tomorrow is a Winter Swap Kit for my partner. It was supposed to be mailed around the 15th, but thinks have been hectic and sad at my house. Here is a pic of the goodies to be sent in the mail! She still doesn't know who she is either!!!! ::hehe::

Left to right.. Wintery Postits, List pad, winter cards w/girl and scarf, wild peppermint lip balm, a goblet full of beading delight, yummy yankie candle tart, peppermint cocoa, Tofuties!, more yummy cocoa, coal of course (nah, its really bubble gum), purse and shoe embry boards, 2008 calender, star gel soap, peppermint poprocks!, winter flutterby fairy kit, silvery tree ornament, wintery notebook, peppermint and cinnamon mints, and finally some great smelling soap!

I really really really tried to hold back this swap, you should have seen my Halloween kit.. le sigh, she never did post any pics. Oh well!

Lizard Hunting!

2007-11-18T01:26:00.000-05:00

Haven't posted a kitty pic in a while, so here is one with both Aggie and Jinx lizard watching.

~Wierdlings

Ate my way through....

2007-11-18T00:40:00.001-05:00

This week I have started to knitted a scarf for my youngest brother for Christmas. It is from the website of http://mochimochiland.com/. It is her Toliet Paper pattern, and if you knew my brother, who can be a POOP, you would get the ironic-ness of the gift!

Recent Reading has been fruitful this week... in reverse order...

Dancing with werewolves, by Carole Nelson Douglas
Midnight Alley, The Morganville Vampires Book 3, by Rachel Caine
Holy Smokes, by Katie MacAlister
Creation in Death, (25th book) by JD Robb aka Nora Roberts

Reread...

Naked in Death, (1st book) by JD Robb aka Nora Roberts
The Diamond Throne, by David Eddings
Night Embrace, A Dark-Hunter Novel, by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Not to mention, I have coughed up $25.00 to Library Thing so that I can have a lifetime membership and post more than 200+ books. I plan to add my knitting books next week sometime.

~Wierdlings

ZOMG!!!!!

2007-11-05T23:53:00.000-05:00

Okies... so then I read voraciously as you can tell from the left.. my Librarything is full of all sorts of paranormal reading and there are some great great authors there.. anyway I am the sort that reads as soon as it comes out and then are left high and dry for a year until the next arrives.

Patricia Briggs is one such author.. her Mercy Thompson series has me hanging on every word and never lets me loose until the story is done. Thereby torturing me for another 11 months and 29 days until the next book is available.

I have her site marked and routinely go through my favorites once a week or so. Well the third book arrives in the stores in January and as I was crusing through I saw she was offering shirts similar to the ones that Mercy wears on the cover of the third book! I HAD TO HAVE ONE... well three actually... ::cough cough:: HEY! One is for my sister.. the other two are for me. So I placed the order right then and there.

A few weeks later I write and ask about the status, normally they notifiy you within a few days. I had fallen through the cracks accidently. They were in the process of reording and would have them sent out soon. I was corresponding to her husband, who was the nicest guy possible.

TODAY they arrived!!! Not only are they so very awesome, but she sent me a gift too! A signed copy of Bloodbound! The second in the series, she even autographed and personalized it for me! I am so very stoked!!! (pictures below)

So now I am even more anxious for it to come out and can not wait!

Halloween Sock Kit Swap - Complete

2007-10-04T21:24:00.000-04:00

Yeah! I am finished shopping for my HSKS from the Lime N Violet MBs. I hope my partner really likes her treats and yarn. Some of the stuff did not fit in the bags though, so they will have to go unwrapped. ::pout::

I will wait to post the goodies inside until she has received her package.

DESTASHING!!!

2007-09-21T19:44:00.000-04:00

Hello everyone!

I am taking a plung and De-stash-i-fying a bit, heck its a whole lot... ::hehe::

Why be you destashifying such yarnilicious stuff you may ask?

Welp I will tell you!!!

Hubby tells his Wierdlings, thats me, today they are going on a cruise at the beginning of the year! We are getting fast fast passports to make sure we have them in time as well as have to put down/payoff the cruise by the end of the November. Yes, I have several more weeks, but I need to start saving up now!

So included in my yarn purge is Yarn Pirate, Yarn Pirate Booty Club Yarn, Loopy Ewe Sock Club Yarn, and Spunky Eclectic Yarn Club. All are from a smoke free home and while I do have two fur kitty babies, they do not get near this yarn.

I will be charging the prices that I paid for them as well as first class mail priority post mail, normally $4.60. If you happen to live outside of the US, I will have to check into those fees.

This is a FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE destashing with PayPal being the go between. If you do not have PayPal I am very sorry I can not take Credit Cards nor am I looking to trade skeins for other stuff. I need cash baby!

HOW TO's....

Send me an Email with the name of those that you are interested in
I will check to see if its still available. If it is, I will prepare a PayPal Invoice and send it to you.
You pay the Invoice and I send it on the next business day
IF payment is not received in 24 hours, the skein will be reposted.

I have taken pictures of all the yarn and grouped them into similar catagories. I am also including a link to a larger picture so that you can see more depth and color and I have listed the information on the labels too.

Entrelac Finished

2007-09-21T00:30:00.000-04:00

YEAH! I went to the conclusion of my Entrelac class tonight. Many of the ladies were there and it was the first time... in a very long time that I participated in a Thursday SnB. It was really fun and the topics across the table ranged from completed projects all the way to facial waxing.. ow ow ow!

So now I am going to start to work on my own Entrelac project and add it to the IP list. Help me, help me!

~Wierdlings

Yeah for Entrelac!

2007-09-16T09:33:00.000-04:00

Yesterday, I took a beginners Entrelac Class at my LYS and absolutely loved it. While we were able to get through almost all of the different steps, we still need to learn the final triangle pieces which go on the top. Therefore we have all agreed to meet next Thursday, the 20th for a final class.

The class was just the right size and we were all around the same skill level so that the pace was smooth and easy. Many of the ladies also are on Ravelry and I got to share my obsession with Lime and Violet too. ::chuckle:: At the end we were all writing down our blog spaces and sharing email information. Granted the class discount for purchasing other yarn was really sweet too.

I would encourage anyone to seek classes such as this to expand and push your knitting. I can no longer call myself a novice knitter! WHEEE!!!

Now that I have Mitered Squares and Entralac under my belt, one of my projects I want to try this year is....

Its called FiberFish and sold by LaurieM. She created it for a nolonger listed group called Bitchin Mittens and won a red ribbon for it. The pattern is still onsale and she will send it to you in a PDF format. There is some slight errata, so be sure to print that up as well.

Til next time!

Having A Bad Day Swap - Lime N Violet

2007-08-19T09:02:00.000-04:00

So we have this great community at the Lime n Violet Message Boards. One of the ladies recommended a 'Having A Bad Day Swap' and many of us jumped on the idea and joined. My partner Jenny143 sent me an awesome package and even included my furry babies in her thoughtfulness. Below are a few pic of them playing with their presents... some of which I still can not find once they got their furry paws on them.

Death of the Doughboy

2007-06-26T15:50:00.000-04:00

Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community. The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71.

Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch.

The grave site was piled high with flours. Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times, he still was a crusty old man and considered a positive roll model for millions.

Doughboy is survived by his wife Play-Dough, two children, John Dough and Jane Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart. The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.

<~* Hope you liked the chuckle as much as I did when a co-worker shared this with me *~>

Mitered Squares

2007-06-23T20:54:00.000-04:00

And of course, this is why I will never have my computer desk to myself... Perhaps once I move in the bookshelves, they will migrate over to them instead. Its really hard to play online, surf for yarn p*rn, and update the blog with a furry blob in the way... Here is Jinx keeping me away from the Yarnie Luciousness of The Loopy Ewe!
