the irony is not lost on me

this evening mostly made me feel horrid. this evening also had me upset with myself. for the last few months i had actually felt a bit guilty for focussing more on my bellydancing lessons and rehearsals than my knitfriends...now i am kinda glad that i did!

however, this evening was also punctuated with some of the most awesome moments. moments that i'll always hold dear - seeing a proud young teen mother and glowing new grandmother, catching up with one of the most zen women i know, seeing the most shit hot tattooed girlie family in london, and visiting with one of my oldest stitchfriends.

and the highlight>>>>>>

afterwards and even though we were all dead tired, with us moms in fucking horrid hip pain - we still as a group and without thinking or speaking rushed to the aid of another woman stranger on the street and stayed with her til the situation was diffused and she was definitely okay. then as soon as she was sorted we said our good nights without even discussing it -just a natural thing.



now, i'll probably offend some knitladies with the rest of this post though

(what's new)

maybe even lose a couple friends from it - but if they don't understand then i am better off without women like this in my life.

all i can say is gosh darn those ladies love bitching about each other and fucking back biting - especially about things they have not lived/experienced. it got so bad and i was feeling so horrid that i finally said "i know i've been gone awhile but i really can't believe how much you all talk shit about each other".

now ironically i'm kinda doing the same thing here on my blog. well, it is called Trashy Crochet - and at least i was brave enough to say what i was thinking TO THE PERSON'S FACE.

so i've had both ends of the frienship spectrum tonight.
and right now i'm still oscillating between the two, wonderin' which end i'll remember next time it's a thursday night and i'm itching to crochet!

ironically i walked right past another stitch event to get to this one tonight.



and PS to my dearest radio lee - if you are reading this - thank you our knight in shining (vintage) armour!!!

well...its finally out!

and hopefully we can move on from all the horrid family stress it has been causing.

here's my daughter's side of the story in the news of the world this morning.

it's bad enough to find out your partner is cheating, but to have it spread all over the global press has been horrid for my daughter. i'm so glad that she finally found the strength to end it all and speak out. very very brave of her.

looking forward to life getting a bit more back to normal, whatever that is!

and my weekend of quiet crafting?
not happened.

yet.

but i still have tonight!!!

project

so i've started another new project for myself...a warm cozy hat out of the rowan bamboo tape, in a lovely dirty brown colour. hopefully i'll finish it tonight!

need some mojo gogo.

i'm losing my crochet mojo...

i've got 2 projects now on the go/on hold for the fiance but the way things are so up and down i find it too upsetting to work them up anymore.

so tonight i'll go to bed with my audio book (after this tivo'd episode of 24, and some yoga) and make a different blue 12 pointed celestial katamari star.

tomoro night will be spent baking - as i'm going to go to bake camp instead of social media camp this weekend - that is if i don't go away some where with the fiance or run away with a knitter to wonderwool in wales (is anyone actually going still???)
