I got bored… that’s all
I have been tagged!
Dianne has tagged me to reveal 6 random facts about myself. Here they are:
- I really like trees, and find them fansinating and often take random pictures of random trees I like. I can feel the spirits inside old trees and feel like I can hear their stories and tales of their life. I really love this tree that is right next to my work.
- I am 25% Native American, and am really into that part of my heritage. My tribe is the Potawatomi, and I really want to learn the language seeing as it is slowly dying out. Only a few of the elders still speak it and it has only been written down for the past 40 years or so. The only problem is that I would have to go back to Michigan to learn Potawatomi
- I have been knitting and crocheting for more than half my life I learned when I was about 12 which was 15 years ago. It really pisses me off when people assume I have learned to knit within the past few years.
- Among many things I am a writer and have been working on a novel for the past year or so, I haven’t actually started to write much of it, mostly I have been doing research for it. It’s amazing how much work goes into a simple sci-fi/fantasy novel
- I love music more than anything else in my life, and one of my biggest dissapointments of life is that I am not actually musical in anyway. I can’t carry a tune or play an instrument tho I have tried both. I also love just about any type of music. My ultimate favorites would have to be Punk, Jazz, Country, Musicals and Opera
- I don’t really believe in having idols and heros, I try to make sure that the person I consider a hero or an idol is myself. I am happy to state this is actually a reality for me too I think despite all the adversary and crap I have had to deal with, that I can function, survive, and even have a postive outlook on life is absolutely amazing!

In other news this hopefully means I will be back posting more often….
Creating an addict
Sometimes through your own innocent actions, and trying to help somebody out you end up doing the opposite. Sometimes when your just trying to enrich someone’s life you instead create and addict. I have created an addict, he still doesn’t think he is or fully realizes he is, but Ryan is an addict. A knitting addict that is. Now he might try to argue with you that he doesn’t have hardly any yarn and he has yet to buy any of his own, or his own needles. Oh, I am wise and can see the signs early on, and this is clearly a sign of addiction.
Yes that is what you think it is, Ryan with two skeins of yarn tucked under his chin while he reads…. No I don’t know why. It wasn’t particularly cold so he can’t really get away with that as an excuse… I think it was just his internal desire to have the yarn near him. Speaking of yarn I got some new sock yarn from and amazing local dyer(two of the three skeins are above tucked under Ryan’s chin). Vintage Purls is an amazing New Zealand dyer and distributer of Knit Picks Needles. Her yarns are absolutely luscious and she offers such speedy delivery. I ordered two skiens of yarn on Monday the payment transfered mid day Tuesday and on Wednesday at 2:30 I had my yarn! and what lovely yarn it is!
There you see Gondwana, Into the Blue, and Crayon Scratch. Each one of them are as soft as, I’m just itching to get one of them on some needles. I highly highly recommend her yarns, she also has some pretty rad vintage patterns.
Speaking of Ryan, and of socks I’m just past the heel of his second sock… I know your thinking sheesh you’ve been working on those for ages, but in my defense I work a lot, have many projects going at once, AND I kinda lost the half finished sock for a bit(like a month). so I guess I will finish this post off with a picture of said half finished “lost but now it’s found” sock.
Holy vampires batman!
I don’t know what’s going on but today I was checking the stats of my blog seeing who comes her and how they get here, and the number one search term that people use in finding my blog has nothing to actually do with knitting or such(which i would think would be the case) no the number one keyword is vampires 427 people since April(when i upgraded and thus got stats) have come to my blog(or more specifically one post in my blog) due to vampires! I have never written about vampires in fact the one mention of vampires in this blog was when I was talking about the vampire tours of San Francisco. Oh well!
In other news I have acquired some cracksilk kidsilk night in two beautiful colors starry night, and thunder, and are just beautiful!
I really can’t believe the beauty! I got this at the wonderful Knit World Studio out in the Lower Hutt. I have been meaning to make it there for awhile but with work and it being so far out when I don’t have a car. Every fortnight they have a little knitting circle there and I finally made it this past Tuesday thanks to the help of Susan. Now I have never actually been to a stitch and bitch that was hosted at a yarn shop, and OMG am I ever so thankful that this was my first! the entire night all I wanted to do was cast on something new in each of the fabulous yarns… They were all so beautiful and wonderful. The actual group was such a lovely group of hilarious ladies, In short I had a blast! Sally who runs the studio is sweet and the studio itself was like a little yarn zen garden of relaxation! I deffinately can’t wait to make it out there again.
Back to the kidsilk night… I am thinking of making something soft, lacey, and feminine with this.. I was thinking maybe a lace ruffled scarf or something I’ll have to think some more about it! For now they will have to be content being desk pets.
