I finished my headband 
-
- Keep My Damn Hair Outta My Face Band
Awesomely amazing, I must say. I am on a headband frenzy, as they look cute on me, and best show off mah haircut. I queued a bunch of headband pattern on Ravelry, but will make up some myself as well
I think I will peruse the Library of Knitting stitches and find a nice stitch to make another headband tonight

My mom loved the Vertigo cap so much, I am now making her one in this zebra-esque colorway (Red Heart of course. The Kureyon still eludes me…)
Will take pictures when completed. I really like this pattern, and will make a few more as beanies, since I am rocking my real hair for a change 
I plan to make a lot of headgear now.
Speaking of, I am currently working on a headband…and there will be many more to come. My hair is a little above my shoulders, and the front was cut in bangs back in January, and they are now growing out.
Annoying, yes.
I need to have something to keep my hair out of my damn eyes. I actually named the headband I’m working on “Keep My Damn Hair Outta My Face Band” On Ravelry. LOL. I also queued a bunch of other headbands to work on. They are quick, satisfying projects…than I can surely use right now. Heheheheh (pun ABSOLUTELY intended).
I am using the leftover Caron Simply Soft from the Calormetry. I loveeee this colorway! Embroidery, it’s called. So colorful! I hate working with it, though, especially with smaller needles….it splits terribly. Hell, even with the right size needles it was a pain, but not as much. And I am just on the I cord.
Grrr.
Too lazy to take pictures right now. When completed, will take pictures. The headband I should be finished with in a day or so; I plan to work on it a bit tonight. Which will put off the hat a little bit, but *shrug* it’s getting too hot to wear hats anyway, right?
I fear another ‘Zzz’ project on Ravelry….

Fiiinally finished this hat!
I do say, I prolly shouldn’t have added that last panel in it (it’s a bit bigger then I wanted…), but I still love the way it came out!
Squee! <3
Now I plan on starting a project from One Skein Wonders… then maybe I’ll make another Vertigo Hat

This game fucking roxor my soxors!
(Yet another reason why I get nothing done… video games.)
IGN gave it an awesome rating:
http://ds.ign.com/objects/142/14256704.html
It earned it, believe me.
Like I said, all of my hobbies are expensive.
I am a pirate, but I actually LIKE buying the games. I love Nintendo and don’t mind supporting them in the least. I have spent over $400 on games for my DS in total….not counting the ones I sold/gave away.
Speaking of, I need to re-buy Elite Beat Agents…lent it to a friend, and he never gave it back…and the fucker moved away to some college upstate.
*shrug*
Lesson# 346723: never lend black people shit—and expect to get it back.

This hat should have been done DAYS ago…
About 90% done. My wrists were killing me this week, and so I have refrained from knitting, as I have no choice but to type at work. *sigh*
Will finish it tonight, and either make another one, or try a pattern from OSW.
In other news, I am near my book reading goal for the year…though I did break down and buy another book :/
I bought the last two Sookie Stackhouse books. I devour them; they are so yummy to read <3. I literally read one a day this week! (Damn, I spend a lot of money on things I like…)
Why are all my hobbies so freaking expensive??!??
Grr.
I want to buy some Noro Kureyon, but the universe conspires against me. I’ll have to buy it online, as I have called 4 different LYS and none had any on hand *sigh*
I like shopping online, but that instant gratification is always nice
I haven’t bought any yarn in months. I am overdue—but also over broke.
Well, my birthday’s coming up, so I shall splurge and get a new tattoo, maybe a piercing, a new bag (squee!) and YARN!
Will post pictures of new hat when (hopefully) finished tonight.

I just bought my second knitting book ever!
http://www.amazon.com/One-Skein-Wonders-Judith-Durant/dp/1580176453
There are so many neat-o things to try out in here. I have a few more things I wanna take care of (both on my Ravelry queue, and stuff I need to finish…), and then I am so digging into this book…might even get the recommended yarns instead of substituting like I usually do (cheap and lazy, I am).
LOL what a rebel I am.
Just wanted to share this <3

I am about halfway done with it and I am soo excited! It’s coming out so awesomely amazing! This yarn has striped in the most awesome way with this pattern. I will have to make another one with the Red Heart multi yarn (I have more than enough to do so).
Here are the pics:
-
- at ~5%
-
- 50% and counting!
-
- Another shot @ 50%

- Isn’t this kick ass cool or what??
More pictures when I’m done ^__^
By the looks of it, I may be done tonight, as it is not a hard pattern; a quick knit, really. I have only been working on it primarily on the train to/from work, so it could have been done a lot sooner. Juust in time for monday it should be finished, and then I will start another. Squee! Fucking a, I am on a roll with butter and cheese 
Goodbye. And Helloooo ^__~ May 5, 2009

Hey Cyberspace.
This used to be a run-of-the-mill post teenage angst blog. But, due to circumstances beyond my control (nosy exes/siblings, general availability of knowledge, etc) I have decided to deregulate the blog and use it for my writing and various projects only.Once in a while I might throw in something else, but no more drama (right Mary J?) and no more too-personal stuff.
Sorry to disappoint anyone (ha, ha).
You can always catch my shenanigans on Twitter and Facebook
It’s been a nice run, and I have met some awesome people because of my blog, and of course I have enjoyed all the attention. *sniffle*
I realized I don’t need the whole literal world in my shit, so I am kicking it old school and keeping a handwritten journal
I’ll be around; as a matter of fact, I shall kick off the change-over with an overview of my latest knitting projects, and shall pick a new layout too (how exciting!)
TTFN

More Yarn Adventures… March 3, 2009

Also known as a Yarn swift, this yarn umbrella has saved my ass from hours of frustration and wasted yarn...
So I gots me a yarn umbrella.
Coupled with an awesome idea I picked up over at Ravelry from a forum (using a toilet paper tube to make pull-out yarn balls) I am winding yarn more efficiently and faster than I ever imagined:
Yay, balls o' Yarn!
I have done over 19 balls since getting the umbrella last week…I left only the finer yarns to do when I get sone extra time….or whenever I think I may need them. Nah, I will get to it next weekend (as this weekend I am away to Philly) just to finally have all of my hanks winded and put away.
I have such a feeling of accomplishment, you have NO idea
That’s all of the yarn adventures I’ve had lately. Now I won’t be hesitant to buy hanks of yarn anymore (not that I ever was LOL)! Hooray!
