Peek A Boo!! I See You!!

I saw this and nearly peed myself I was so excited. This my friends is some fabulous new yarn from the warped minds over at Insubordiknit Handspun Yarn Shop. If you have never ventured over to their website......get your butt over there!!

The name of this creepy creation is Vitreous Humor.

I am the proud owner of two skeins.

Must Cast On

Hi my name is Kelly and I'm an addict. I haven't cast on for a new project in three weeks. Yes I can hear the gasps of horror from the audience. Several of you have just fainted from the shock. Believe me I am just as horrified as you. I have been trying to "Be Good" and "Finish" things. Which I have to say........SUCKS IT BIG TIME!!!

I am still knitting on my turtleneck shrug. If I don't finish that one soon I can't promise it will not get shoved in a dark corner somewhere.....Repeat after me:

I THINK I CAN

I THINK I CAN

I THINK I CAN

I have several must have projects waiting in the wings. Here are just a few:

Oooohhhhh I can hear the needles and yarn calling out to me.

Must be strong!!!

Mr. Greenjeans from Knitty.Com

Seeing the pictures is making me want to cast on right now.

I MUST STAY STRONG!!!

Coffee Coffee Coffee

After two unsuccessful tries at getting into the Knitters Coffee Swap.....both times I missed the deadline to sign up by meer days. I finally made it in. HOORAY!!!! I do NOT take my coffee as seriously as some people do.....and man are they serious. However I do enjoy a good cup of coffee but only when the seasons turn chilly. Yup you heard right.....I only drink "hot drinks" in the fall and winter. Once it warms up the hot drinks are put to rest (that includes any and all soup items as well.) What can I say I am a coffee/caffeine poser.

Questions:

1. Whole bean or ground? Both are welcome

2. Fully-loaded or decaf? Decaf. (Caffeine makes me feel very sick.)

3. Regular or flavored? Flavored with a capital "F"

4. How do you drink your coffee? Two Sweet & Low's and some French Vanilla Creamer.

5. Favorite coffee ever? I don't remember the brand but it was Hot Buttered Rum

6. Are you fussy about your coffee or will any old bean do? I'm easy...any old bean will do.

7. Favorite treats to have with your coffee? A slice of pound cake.

8. Anything else about your coffee preferences? None that I can think of.

9. Yarn/fiber you love? Everything BUT....see #10.

10. Yarn/fiber you hate? Acrylic. The word alone gives me the shivers.

11. What's on your needles? HAAAA what isn't on my needles?

12. Favorite colors? Blue, Green, Pink, and Brown.

13. Allergies? Bananas. Not really....I just dislike them immensely.

14. Anything you really love, really don't like, or just need to get off your chest? I can't wait to find out who my partner is!!!

So Many Projects.....

So little time.

I either need to clone myself or figure out how to function without sleep.

Let's see what do I have to share with you?

My Turtleneck Shrug is halfway done. I am about 3 inches away from sticking a fork in sleeve number one. Then we start the process all over again for sleeve number two.....(insert HUGE dramatic sigh here.) The good news for my knitting is that Jeff has another EXTREME KNITTING trail planned for tomorrow. He is thrilled, sleeve number two is thrilled, I just want to sleep until noon.

Exhibit A: Sleeve Number One

I managed to get my butt down to the local craft store and purchase some cute fabric for my candy corn bag. I was really hoping to find white fabric with candy corns on it.....but it is Halloween and white does not seem to be the color for this candy filled holiday. Gee big surprise there.

Exhibit B: Candy Corn Bag Lining

"B" is for BOO!

This is a quick picture of some fabulous sock yarn I purchased the other day.

It is from Red Rocks Fiber Works

The color is: BOO!

I don't have a set pattern in mind just one I actually finish would be nice.

A small goal in an ocean of projects.

Flu Shot

This is going to be a very short post.

Got a flu and pneumonia shot today.

Feel very icky right now.

Must go snuggle under covers.

Do Not Adjust Your Moniters

I apologize for the terrible picture. This is one of those projects I pulled from the archives and had to blow the dust off. The poor thing has not seen the light of day in....Gasp!.....a year. So it was no surprise that it tried to make a run for it when the flash of my camera went off.

Many apologies later and several comments like, "Yes, I do love your colors." and "I never said that Rowan sweater was more important than you"........I managed to sweet talk it out from it's hiding spot under the couch.

This project was supposed to be for last October. It is a mystery even to me as to what image will appear once it is finished. I think it was a witch, or a cat, or a cauldron. Maybe all three. Anyway I am adding this to my list of October projects that need to be finished.
