feeling pretty fucking lonely :o(

so tomorrow is int'l yarnbombing day and i still don't really have any plans...the weather in london is supposed to be crap crap rainy so i guess it will depend on that mostly as well. hmmm. what are you all doing???

remember remember every november!

so last weekend was my family, this weekend his family...
just got back from bristol, where strangely enough i didnt actually do any yarnbombin' but i did notice that all my crochetti i left six weeks ago are now gone. not sure if that is good or bad as not sure anyone saw them.

anyway - spent alot of this weekend working on my mom's shrug.
it's just like the one i made for my sis in law, but sis' is black and i worked in front loops on a J, while my mom's is grey and worked in back loops on a K...next will be mine and i know i'm going to workit on an ecven larger hook so its even more loose and floaty for more easy layering!

o and the hooks i'm using are fuckin' divine.
mom got me a set of ebony hooks as an eary xmas gift!

and here is my new netbook cozy!

stormy weather...

the weather has just been too crazy to do any yarnbombin'
it's either been pouring rain or blowie...
but i did yarnbomb my tattooist nicole from blink's bathroom yesterday!
she totally caught me tying crocheted flowers to things in her loo...luckily it made her smile and not roll her eyes (too much).

nicole's a crafty vixen too - soo artistic with her painting as well as tattooing, i spent a lovely brthday afternoon/evening with her hanging out. will post photos of my new angel lady tattoo she created for me, and am going back soon to get a lovely day of the dead skull by her on my other leg! once i have the design from her i'll also use it as an embroidery pattern to create camera cases and ipone holders...watchout world!

for august 1st

spent some time this morning gathering crocheted bits and bobs for yarnbombing the tunnel.
so far i have a bag which contains
an ohm
2 pieces of big black shawl type lace
a starfish
and other bits

i need to remember to get the bag flowers from my cupboard at work!

star time

made a 12 pointed star this week -=- its so cute!!!

and have been yarnbombing london with my easter eggs.

also joined the stitch book group and scored the audiobook of 'water for elephants' to listen to while i crochet. i wanted the old school paper copy but couldn't find it anywhere so downloaded it - and ironically an hour later found out my daughter just finished reading it...i could have had her copy! but am going to take advantage of things being up and down with the fiance and am going to go to bed early tonight with some crochet and put the ipod on the dock and listen to a few chapters...

...just hope that i stay awake!

yarnpunk weekend!

sooo...what a weekend!
friday was eventually spent in soho yarn shopping and stitching and bitching and getting tattooed. we hit up all the fun of the fair for me to replenish my supply of yellow to make more yarn bombing easter eggs. and i face to faced with the lovely gemma there that i'd been talking to on ravelry just that morning. we also met a cute girlie who is doing a digital knitwear course so dragged her along to the ship with us to drink and crochet our waiting time til the lovely stewart robson at frith street could tattoo us matching biohazard symbols.



of course we also took over a corner of the tattoo shop while we were waiting and all the staff loved the idea of me yarnbombing soho with crocheted easter eggs. well, except for the owner dante who said it was just a posh way of littering! lol...so guess who has a surprise pink and yello striped easter egg hidden away at the back of their cupboard!

next day was pretty much rinse and repeat but this time it was my lovely newest best friendliest knitroaster getting tattooed by gino at diamond jacks...then much veggie fajita fun was had by all! (photos to follow - i finally found my camera in fishwhiskers' yarn bag!!!)

sunday and the lovely fiance met up with us and we saw the fishie off back to bristol with a wave and saunter back home via the queen. and i got a buckingham palace thimble for my collection!
