This question might not be specific enough, but it's worth a shot. I recently started making the Frill shawl on Knitty for a friends wedding (at this rate, it's not going to be finished in time, sadly) At any rate, I have done the frill portion of the pattern with no problem, and am now onto the lacey bit of the shawl. The pattern itself is no ( Read more... )

Oh man! I found the coolest thing. I've recently started making Maria which is like...ten thousand times more difficult than any knitting project I've attempted before. I tried looking on knitty to see if there was any help (I instantly got stumped on the ribbing for the sleeve, which is sad! After staring at the pattern for a while, it all ( Read more... )

Oh no! In my little search to figure out my knitting pattern (which I did, and am now past that part of the pattern, yay!) I stumbled upon knitty.com BAD IDEA. There are about 10 or 15 different patterns on there I want to try. I keep envisioning myself wrapped up in a shawl or a lace knit stole (I've never done lace before. I worked on an afghan ( Read more... )

The other day I went and bought myself a pattern for this off the shoulder sweater. Before I bought the pattern though, I told the lady at the yarn store that I was concerned about the use of a cable needle. I've never used one before. She scanned the pattern, said it shouldn't be too hard, and gave me the idea that the cabling was to be done in ( Read more... )

Hey, B.C. Ferries. You guys are doing a real stand up job. Like...that time when the boat lost power, and then you crashed it into a marina, and like...smashed five billion boats. Yeah that was pretty awesome ( Read more... )

Dude. This is so weird. Right now Shamus is in the shower, listing off all the things that I'll need to buy in the future, as he is trying to convince me that I cannot leave work early when I get all my stuff done for the day. Today I got to leave about 3 1/2 hours early, because...we got all our stuff done in the day. So Shamus is like "Well, you' ( Read more... )

It's so, so true. Hell, I'm being a jealous bitch right now ( Read more... )

Dear Shamus,
I've decided I hate you. Because you met the Prince. And saw a real Katamari. And played the new Katamari game. You're a dink because you didn't drag me along. Also, you're a dink because zombies attacked you. I'm also a dink because I don't a job. DINKERY ALL AROUND!

Oh huzzah, doing the whole job search thing again, so I can move to Victoria. It seems like it'll be easier this time around though, seeing as how I've got some experience now, and I've got Shamus and his roomates helping me out. Shamus says right now there's a job for a cook that pays $13.00 an hour, which sounds nice, considering right now I'm ( Read more... )

Thanks for telling the whole world that you're engaged now, Ellen (even though you haven't even been dating your man for a year yet aughhhh) and thanks a lot Mom for telling me Shamus seems the type to never want to get married. That made my stomach all blech. You know what else makes my stomach blech? THE SMELL OF THIS SWEATER HOLY FUCK IT STINKS
