lost my mojojojo...

its a grey day outside, and even though it's bright coloured afghans and lovely white walls here in my bedroom i'm just not really feeling inspired...or rather i AM feeling inspired but nothing is really grabbing me...well, nothing that is a carry around work on over a pot of tea later at drink/shop/do type of project. there's actually LOADS that i want to make, but don't have the right yarn for...or i've got the bits to assemble or stuff or finish but the projects just aren't mobile.

ugh. fuck.

and drink/shop/do don't list the yarns they sell so not sure what i could pick up there out of their nice little glass display counter of goodness. hmmm...ok, my time to go rummage some more through the box of yarn behind the door to see what i come up with. will check back with ya'll later.

new job/new convert

so i started my new job at blue barracuda yesterday and already am trading crochet lessons for fresh baked brownie goodness! my lovely office manager lucy has wanted to learn for ages - so we start next monday...and lucky for me my new place is just opposite the age concern charity shop where i buy my £1 a ball bright coloured acrylic...

...which is all the better to make baby toys with!
i've got to make a quick baby shower gift but don't know the sex of the baby yet so it'll be bright bright bright instead maybe...figure i can knock up one of those 12 pointed celestial stars in time - fingers crossed.

and i've pretty much finished my mom's shrug - just need to put the side seams in!

doesn't do it justice.

this photo really isn't doing the bright yellowy green yarn any justice. it's so flouro that it was reflecting in my phonecam if i was in broad daylight...

i picked the yarn up at the age concern charity shop down leather lane at lunchtime when i went to pick up my cheapo sandals after having them glued back together AGAIN. they are soo cheap that i've probably spent more on them fixing, but the shape and colour are perfect for my slightly tanned tattooed feet. bought them last year as a panicbuy right before i jetted off to zadar for the electric elephant festival in petrcane.

sooo want to go back again this year as andy weatherall is playing again.

that. and i just need a holiday sooooo bad.

anyway - i bought the yarn to crochet some police tape for yarnbombing!

finished...for now!

finished sorting my black dreadlock scarf.
now what?
am still looking for dark charcoal to pull together all the skully squares, and some bright bright pink to finish off the aum piece of work.

so in the meantime i guess i could start on the heart shaped box!
(and now i want to crochet a uterus as well)

this is a cute idea too: http://kelguen.livejournal.com/857.html
