knitting,yarn and oww my aching back

knitting, yarn and a sore back what a bitch
im on a knitting spree its been going on for a week between frogging the same piece over and over until i found a happy little cheating medium and finally completing it today(its to be mailed to one of my KG friends in a swap) and i have started onto the next piece and combined or something with the past week of fevered knitting and last nights wild fun my back hurts like an SOB but i seem to be seeing a problem

the yarn i'm using for this newer project it appears i do not have enough to make a 12x12" square by friday(i wanted it done and packed as well by then but i cannot for the life of me remember if its lion brand, caron or bernat must find label to match and purchase more if needed if i can get it in same shade or perhaps a purple. must buy more vodka once this week is over learning lace stitches are making me drink nightly.

must finish this last line and drag my sleepy sore self off to bed to pick up at line 21 in the morning.
so tired i said 30 on my myspace blog

yarn it! stitches and 12x12 squares

taking a quick break before resuming my project square 1 in an 11 square swap. i'm 2 weeks behind and square 2 is waiting for my attention before i think of #3.
square one has been the biggest pain in my ass i just couldnt think of a patten and it pissed me off to no end so i started square 2 cause i had the perfect yarn and pattern in mind and remembered to print it off so i could mark where the hell i was stopping once i progressed enough to be happy it was back to 1 and now one is 12x5 it needs to be 12x12 in some form and i need about another 5 sections to be happy with it for me to get it out by next friday at the latest. hopefully square 2 goes out with it.

other than that i'm swamped for the next 6 months in 1 swap. 1 square every 2 weeks. the kids gotta leave mommy alone to knit damn it.

Ma dont read this post!

i casted on for what my be a thong. i did 2 pair of pasties for a swap recently and feel like making more.

its sort of liberating and a sexy and cheap way to destash. just dont ask me what i'm making if you see me in public all i'm gonna say is flowers.

ma i know if you read this you're either going to call me, start wondering if i lost my sanity yet or just shake your head. i'm considering this practice lol

creations

i've been working on things other than knitting lately, a dear friend of mine asked me to make her some stitchmarkers. so thanks to her i'm her stitchmark maker on call. i've only had one other customer so having her come back for more makes me happy cause it means someone likes what i can do.
as of yet i dont have a website for this hobby or a name for it, i'm open to ideas tho. i will be working on that soon.

as for me knitting i still am currently working on a 2x2 ribbed scarf that will be part of a set for another friend of mine. she yet doesnt know what its being made out of but that its being made.

pics will follow soon but i'm off to figure out if i can redo a website that i havent used in a few years

70 proof shawl 5 scrunchies and one very not even close to being finished hat

this is my current project list, i've completed 1 scrunchie, one left to band and seam and 3 to finish knitting on.
hubby's hat hasnt been touched in a few weeks i do really need to work on it since he wanted it longer than standard
then i decided to start a new shawl and get drunk at the same time so this new shawl has earned the name 70 proof cause i've had 4 drinks w/ 70 proof smirnoff vodka flowin thru me.

knit it frog it knit it ah screw it

ok i havent written about the latest projects, i frogged the same wristie i was doing for a month that i kept putting away. i shelved it for now as it jsut wasnt going to work on the loom.
so i'm onto 2 projects, a pair of long fingerless gloves and a knit hat. hats for hubby gloves are mine lol.
the gloves are a design i created off a stitch pattern. its kind of a checkerboardish knit purl block that for now looks like a line of stockinette & purl. i might checkboard it but i kind of like the way it looks for now.
that hats been the easy part its only been frogged once just to add 2 stitches so i could do the 2x2 rib. i'm modifying as i go i just hope i can get it done before winters oover after all i have 2 kids lol


and ummmm why the hell do i want to even look at a sock patterns? i'm not a sock knitter yet(sorry ma)but i keep thinking some yarn i have might make a sock and i do have dps.......damn it why is this starting NOW?! i dont do socks i just stated making a hat off the loom and now my crazy ass wants to make a sock....do i dare.

i need something to get that stinkin thought out of my head for now i got enough projects.
