This is probably one of the longest days of my trip, and it's only day one. The day started at 5am. Bright and early. The drive to Fargo was relatively uneventful. My mother and I stop at the mall while my father goes to his VA appointment. 2 hours spent at the mall, and my fathers appointment is done we head to gas up. Guess what? My check engine light comes on. What a perfect start to the day.

Yup, I'm still alive. Barely though. My new job has been going great. Unfortunatly I'm actually good at it so I'm getting more responibility, but the set hours are amazing.I finished the Clapotis! YIPPY, and working on my first sock. I promice to have pictures, as soon as I visit my parents and borrow my moms camera.THe personal life has been crazy, all I can say is: BOYS, you don't make sence.

I got a job! Yes!! Ok, so it's not a job I really wanted, but it will pay the rent, and maybe I'll have some money left over to buy yarn! Of course, I really need to use leftover money to save for moving, if/when I move. The cool thing about the job is it is a set schedule, from 7am to 4pm 5 days a week. I don't know what days but it will be a set schedule, and when I go to my orientation on

Yea for me, I had another interview today. It went mostly well. I know I'd hate working there though, just on the way they talked and how the interview went. It probably is the one that I'd get. They had a major problem with my tounge and nose ring. Now, I completely understand that they might have a problem with them. What makes me mad is that when they asked me how my current job (Lane Bryant,

Heya everyone, sorry for the length of the time between updates, but hey it's nomral for me right?It's been an interesting week, I had an interview I thought went great, but I didn't get the job, I have one more possibility, and I hope it works out because I still can't pay for May's rent. Sigh, oh the stress.My friend that I'm knitting the baby blanket for... She was due June 9. Her water broke

I'm almost at the half way point of the baby blanket, Well, ok I have 20 more rows left, but hey that is an improvement. I was wrong earlier when I thought that I only had to go to 180 rows, I need to get to 190, that is a little disappointing a sudden 10 extra rows. Oh well. Cest la vie. I was toying with the idea of making it an even 200. It's a baby blanket started at a corner and increasing

Ok, So I lied. I'm a horrible liar and can't stay true to a project.Whew, got that out of the way. So after I finished my post yesterday I pick up the baby blanket and knit a row, from the side of my bed I see this container, with my Lopi Reynolds yarn. I do need to know how it knits and felts before I use it to make a bag right? Then from my desk I see my new rune stones, and they are telling me

I finished the Booga bag! Yea!! My first finish object of the year! Yippy!!! I ended up just using the rest of the yarn on the icord straps, so instead of the recommended 6 foot I have a 13 foot. My first thought was that I don't want a small ball of leftover yarn and that I do like long handles, and it will felt smaller. My thought after measuring it? The leftover will make a great cat toy.

In the Sticks and Strings Podcast David talked about how he learned to knit, so I figured I'd add my story to here, even though it's not to interesting.When I was about 8 my grandma tried to teach my how to crochet, I made a Barbie skirt and promptly forgot, age 11/12 brought me to plastic canvas, then at 13/14 I learned cross-stitch, and tried to relearn crochet to no avail. At 18 I wanted to

I noticed that when I switched over to the new blogger, all my pictures disapeared from my posts. I am going to work on adding them back into the posts, but this did come at a good time, if there is a good time for all the pictures to disappear.I've decided to switch all my pictures over to a flickr account, that way I will be able to be a bit more organized. *Me organized? huh* So with an

Ok so this knitting blog really doesn't have much knitting content lately, but that is mainly due to slow projects and no money.The other night in boredom, waiting for something to finish cooking I spotted some rubbermade containers that I have in my living room. I packed these containers about 4-5 years ago and haven't open them since, just moved them from place to place. I went through them.

I'm on vacation visiting my parents. (stressfull sigh)It's actually going ok, though I've had an eventlful month. My internet is on and off at my apartment, but that is to be expected. I connected to a wireless intetnet connection of a neighbor, if he isn't smart enough to protect it, not my problem. So hopefully I'll be able to update this more often. Goddess knows I have the time.I quit my

My internet isn't working *Since I don't pay, I don't complain to much*. I'm quickly posting this from a friends. Hopefully I'll have a internet connection again soon. Geez, I never thought I'd miss the internet so much, but I miss everyone! Going into blog/podcast withdrawel.

I open my e-mail and I am greeted with a e-mail from Borders. My Waldenbooks is closing, as in the place I just decided to order sensational knitted socks from. There goes that idea, Sigh, that is the only bookstore in the mall. Now I'll only have Barnes and Noble to shop at, this isn't cool. I'm really not liking our mall. The owners are sitting there letting it crumble. First the good music

I got my books today, squeee, happy dance, happy dance!!! lo and behold, I'm sitting on my bed all comfy watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer *Since I own the complete series, I've decided to do a watch through and remember what I loved about the show* and I hear "Knock Knock" on my door. That can only mean one thing, MAILMAN!! *It's winter, I only have 1 friend in town and she doesn't visit me*My

I got my Yarn today. I'm so excited. We had a small winter storm today, a lot of snow!! Because I work retail I went in later to work, there was no sense having 4 e-employees when there were no customers. We had les then 9 customers an hour, it was really slow. So I'm sitting at home waiting to go into work, when I hear the screen door slam, I know it isn't my upstairs neighbor, I can hear his

Wow, it's been a busy month. Unfortunately that busy has not included knitting.I did manage to finish the "Ribbed for his pleasure" but haven't done a thing since. I froged my sock I was working on, thanks to my cat deciding it was a play toy. I started a baby sock, as I have little free time, I decided that a small sock was a great way for me to learn socks. I only have 4 rows done.I've also

Destined to be the type of person who doesn't not just work on one project I cast on a new project last night. I wanted a break from my sock, something easier. So I went through my binder of patterns I have printed from various internet sites, and I settled on the "Ribbed for his pleasure" Condom cozy. It was a shorter faster project and I could use some leftover yarn.While knitting on my break,

As I listen to various podcasters, Lime & Violet, Brenda Dayne, I can help but feel jealous as I hear then wax poetic *nice phrase huh?* about there large stashes. I want a stash. When it's to cold for me to go out I want to be able to have a stash of yarn that I can grab from.Now I know I'm a new knitter, and a good stash takes time to build up. My nonstash problems do not stem from the length

Edit: Added pictures.I started knitting about 2 years ago. Never seriously, I have started 2 scarves and a bag in the round but never finished. My first finished scarf was last week. I made one of those funfur type scarves. I bought 2 skeins of yarn, one silver and one black. I started the scarf on Oct 25th the day I got my tongue pierced. My friend drove me to the piercing, then after to Hobby
