Hiatus

So last week I blew out my hands. I did a crazy marathon knit session on Thursday night while being a television premiere night whore then followed it up on Friday evening with more knitting as well as beading. By the time I went to bed Friday night I was miserable and Monday [...]

witty subject line

So my Backstreet concert last weekend was fabulous. I had a blast and ended up being in the 10th row which wasn’t too shabby (buying tickets through the fan club this year was sort of sketchy and I had no idea where my seats were until I picked up the tickets the day of [...]

Tornadic Activity

Well my first time working on a Sunday in the shop certainly proved to be an interesting one. Why, you ask? Oh something about a tornado warning and a massive storm that rolled through the greater Lansing area… *groan*
Thankfully, no damage was done to the shop. One of those big plastic real [...]

Got gauge?

I’ve never before in my life done a gauge swatch. Yes, I know… the absofreakinglute horror of a LYS Assistant Manager who hates to swatch, right? *rolls eyes* I’m just an impatient knitter… when I want to knit, I want to knit… not to knit a square that is going to be [...]

Oh the weather outside is frightful

We extended last night’s crafty slumber party to two nights (with a 5 hour break for working at the shop of course, lol). We’re sitting out the winter storm warning together with food, beads, knitting and dvd’s.

For those of you who don’t know, I’m still working in the yarn shop and [...]

One more…

I forgot, I made a watch this week. I had a beaded watch that I loved but never couldn’t wear every day since it had green in the beads. So I re-did it using beads that can be worn daily.

And a froggie charm that hangs down.

*waves*

I’m still around, really. I’ve even done some knitting. Not much, but a little.

More socks… this time for me. I’m using the same pattern I used for my HP socks (although I’m considering ripping it out and doing a toe up sock), and yarn from Wool Girl (stitch marker from there [...]

And she beads too…

I’ve been in the mood to bead again (I used to do it a long time ago but hadn’t done it in a while) so for Mother’s Day I made bracelets and earrings:

They’re all about the same design because I’d planned on giving them to several people but in different colors, but then I changed [...]
