excitment.

i did it.

ordered the pattern for the creatures below!

now i sit here waiting waiting for that special email from etsy to deliver the pdf's...

and then i can get started.

need to make one for my sistah elektra while she is here from oz.

frogged

i hate that term.

it sounds lame.

but i did it.

the hat i was making came out too big!

so i pulled it out.

and will try again witha smaller hook.

the pattern didn't have a tension square, so i'm not feeling too bad about it.

hearts

think i have decided against the hearts and am now planning on making my daughter a heart-shaped box (not like mine) and chocs inside...i found this pattern online and have scoped out a few other projects by hookers so thinkit will be quite cute!

thinking...

i'm thinking of making hearts for a valentine's yarnbomb...
really love this cute pattern i found online at bella dia - what do you all think?
because i need something to work on until i score a bunch of dark charcoal DK to finish off my skull and crossbones afghan as i've finally finished squaring off all the pieces and making them the same size...they are ready to join up!

run run runaway

i'm sorry i won't be making this evening at iknit...i'm not really up for going it alone just yet and i should go home and pack anyway for my runaway punker weekend with fishwhiskers!  i've got alot to get together...my toiletries and milk thistly and prozac and codeine and vicodin and any other medication for a broken heart that i can find...and dandelion tea.  altho why bother?  i'd rather my liver exploded the life i have right now.

and i must pack ALOT of crochet...fishie is another crochet fiend and i don't want to run out of anything.  will work on my dalek and take some other patterns/ideas like cherry pie slices and big flowery scarves and other things...i'm still working on skully squares even though now i've no idea if it will ever be a living together present - so i've come up with an alternative plan that's been inspired by the hoxton girlies...

crochet graffiti...so if you see little bright skulls and crossbones sewn to street furniture you know that i'm definitely single (which means also drunk and pain-dulled).

but still not a bad idea is it?

o and i also need to try to haul fish's gear she when she was here for pirate halloween...so probably won't be taking any sort of laptop  -  unless i buy that little small samsung that i've been lusting after since before xmas!

sooo...NSFW

i started my first weddin' present dalek!
can't believe that the lovely amdowns has made the pattern free online
(donation to a good cause if able)

i've started the blue boy dalek, and am making him out of that caron eco yarn that is made of recycled plastic bottles. do have to confess that it's my new favourite. its so yummy and its nice to know my crocheted nic nads aren't impacting too much on the planet.

does anyone know of any recycled fiber toy stuffing?
i usually use beans but probably not best for this as its quite holey so the dalek might poo them out.

o and has anyone ever seen this porn film?
ejaculate! ejaculate!

cold feet!

went shopping for a new pair of cozy ugg-type slippers today on the way home from the gym...and they were all just too uncomfortable. just too structured to be cozy - too much like boots. which got me thinking...i used to always make crocheted slippers for everyone and wear them myself but somehow got out of the habit. so my next little project is to find some uber-warm and cozy fuzzy yarn and a sexy crocheted boot pattern and get going as the longer i leave it the colder my tootsies get!

o and not sure i'll be making it to any knitclubs this week...
on wednesday i have a little check up with lovely french doc to check he is happy with the nefertiti lift he did on me and thursday night there is a showcase on at the mill in soho that i said i'd go with the fiance to...then the weekend at the waterside!

and next week we are in milan to see the black keys and to get tattooed. so might not see all my knitclub friends for a few weeks.
o dear.

will miss you!
