just call me macgyver

so today, i was so determined to finish off taylor's sock that i made a tapestry needle to graft the toe together with a twist tie.

woo

here are the pics of his first sock from the Knitty Thuja sock pattern.
i really love how simple it is and it looks really cool inside out because of the Seed stitch.

BLAM

finished that pair of socks.

i STILL. DO. NOT. HAVE. MY. CAMERA.

ugh. and am not in the mood to attempt to photograph with the mac cam so ya

off i go to play summoner..


*puts on cape*

**swish**

update

hey all. still alive.

i've partly not been updating cuz i've been knitting so much trying to finish up this pair of socks. and i crocheted a market bag.

i'll post pics at the end of the post.


i also have not been feeling good at all. nothing serious (just that good ole bitch period)

but i've been very exhausted. i slept for nearly 24 hours and am still in a sort of hazey ness exhaustion. i really need to remember to take my vitamins and supplements.

see, i have a horrible appetite. so i have these supplements (pills) that i take that have all the nutrients plus some to take. they're just very expensive so i've been trying to ration them.


anyways. thats that.


so i'll be back.

SOGUESSWHAT!

i forgot that tays mac has a built in webcam! *smacks self*

ya so i can show you my progress on that sock so far



AND OOOOOOH MY GOD A FRICKEN HUGE HOUSE CENTIPEDE ON THE WALLLLLLLLLLL

AH AH AH

ughhh


okay now that i've recovered


PICTURES


my sock so far, im doing it toe up and am working on the instep/gusset part now.



a close up of the details. the detailing looks very good on my foot since its stretched but i couldnt get a shot of it on my foot :(



and this one. is a mystery LOL. obviously im looking at the camera. but i didnt take it. so i dunno

so so so...i suck at blog title-ing..

the knitting, is just.

not coming a lot very well. i've been working on this sock like for DAYS and am still confused. i took out the toe four times! and it took three hours to get to the right part and then have to take it out again, cuz it'd still look like crap. so basically .12 hours wasted. so i did a different toe then they did because 'they' are CRAZY AND EVIL
so now. my sister and i are both confused on how to proceed next


anyways. i finished the hat that i was crocheting. FOREVER ago. it probably took me like four hours maybe. and i was taking my time. it looks pretty swell i think. i mean, i'd SHOW YOU but my camera is not with me at present. *shakes fist at sky*


so...hm hm hm

finished my first pair of socks, after having to re do the toes cuz i made them two inches too big..but blah blah anyways pictures!

Socks again, but with a flash. *i dont like flashes*


Cat!



very strange, this person has a pillow for a head. "hmmm"

back from windSOR and Ravelry!!

first!
Ravelry
envited (yes INVITED) me to join!!
cuz they are in beta still and so you have to join a waiting list.

well the waiting is over for this little lady!

im excited to say the least. *laaaah*
forces me to take pictures of my knitting stuff.



so moving on to things of more seriousness

windsor.
i am back
it was...okay

it didnt go that bad.
seriously though dudes.
EVERY SINGLE HOUR of my four days there was completely scheduled. i felt bad for when i did actually get to see my friends i was so exhausted. that was a bit bummer.

so its good to be back. though all yesterday i was insanely ill. like PAIN in stomach and all the works.
thank GOD for the antiviral drops from my herbalist. because of those babies im better today.

it was so horrible.

On a lighter note.
ghostbuster music video is on.



hahaha

Mad Men

so i've been watching this new show on the ol' AMC called Mad Men. that stands for Madison Ave men from the 60s advertising days.

its... well really, i could be deep about it but. in all honesty its making me really want to wear red lipstick

what makes certain men think they have an entitlement to all things they desire and women that they should comply? . maybe you have an opinion on it?


but on to other things!

im knitting again. its going really well. i've got 18 things of yarn coming in the mail sometime this week for a winter apghan im going to be making.

we were at a yarn store *knit cafe* the other day and taylor was really diggin all the yarn but we didnt get any because i have 18 skeins coming. so i said, We Cannot! *in japanesesque accent* i proceded to remind him of how much yarn was on its way. he seemed pretty disapointed though. *he's a colour guy. he loved all the different colours. i think if i made him a room of colourful yarn and lights he'd be in nirvana*


oh and by the way

Nuit Blanche was on saturday. we went to it from 7pm to almost midnight. it was till 7 to 7.
i was very disapointed we had to cut it short because of ME. or rather my HIP

it died. i've been having issues with it. we had been out walking from about 2pm but by 11 i was practically crying in pain. *nothing sucks like public agony* it honestly felt broken. !!! i do not know why. the next day was even worse. i couldnt walk hardly at all and taylor had to half carry me so i could just pee.

Everything is fine now though ish. yesterday i was at wal-mart picking up things and it started to hurt again. not too bad though. i just do not know WHY.

...but back to nuit blanch. so disappointed i got to see pretty much nothing.
three things! THREE.
and they were not that impressive. oh and i participated in a survey from a nuit blanche program guy man. we was nice. called me his guinea pig. *hah hah*

so folks i dunno whats up with me. but im slowly falling apart.

sucks dunnit?


p.s. i do not fit in with this city. i want to be in the fjords or the hills of ireland. anything that is back to nature and how the earth should be. i feel like this place has nothing left to offer me. im not sure it ever did.
