Back from camping

I went camping over the weekend at Colonial Creek camp site in the middle of the north cascades, went hiking, watched a great chicken fight on a log, ate a lot of really good food and got rained out overnight. We left yesterday morning before 8. Both tents we used leaked, and everyone wanted to go home. Other than that, it was very good times. I spent most of yesterday at the bf's, napping and recuperating. I have many pictures to share. I'll post them soon.

Lolcats Timewarp!

WIP day

So here's everything I can find that I'm either working on right now or is unfinished and is sitting around my room:


The most active project, a vest for my mom. Not to say my mom is really big or anything, but she's bigger than me and I keep looking at this thing and getting the feeling that something has gone horribly wrong with my gauge, then I remember. "This will never fit me.......and it's not supposed to"


The back of the Dollar and a Half Cardigan. I left the magazine at my parent's house so I can't really work on the rest of it right now. The color of this yarn doesn't photograph well. It's a beautiful almost army-green color with brown. The drape is amazing. This cardigan will be super-cute. Now for close-ups of the stitch pattern:




U-Neck pullover (though it's only going to be a vest). Yarn from my aunt Kathy. Not my colors at all but I love them anyways. I need to pick this silly thing up again. I'm afraid of the loose ends, though. *shivers* Close-ups:




Sock for my bro. Knitpicks Essential. Not sure if they'll fit him, they're looking awful small. Hopefully I can get him to try them on in the near future.


I just need to finish this silly thing. It's been a UFO for 2 years now. It's for a geeky friend.

Now back to knitting. Maybe airing my dirty laundry will motivate me to do something about it? Let's hope.

*yawn*

So I meant to update today about all my WIPs, maybe motivate myself to work on them. But I ended up taking a 4 1/2 hour nap in the middle of the day then lazing about doing nothing. 'Twas lovely, though. Glad I have the week to recuperate from my weekend! Well, since I have no WIP pics to show you I will leave you with a picture of Samwise the Brave as Lazerkitty:



perhaps tomorrow I will make a real update, yes? Yes..........

So I just bought Loreal Decrease and some very sparkly eyeshadow.....

....and how could I resist playing with it?


Washed-out very not true-to-life colors....


Dramatic eyes, but you can't see much of the eyeshadow...


A little better....

I think I need to practice more.

So, mini-photoshoot with myself is finished....

On to the pics!

I ordered some lovely things from sockdreams.com last week and recently recieved.


Sock garters! So freaking cute I can't stand it. They work so well with these socks.


Tights of sexiness! Also from Sockdreams.com. They're made to look like thigh-high stockings over fishnets with boyshorts.

Over these lovely tights I'm wearing the skirt I recently made (first real wearable that I've ever sewn!! Very imperfect but I love it)


Better view of the skirt.

Speaking of skirts, I also placed an order with Smarmyclothes.com, my favorite Goth/punk DIY clothing store:

Yes, those ARE waitresses:


I also got a package today of this:

No, I haven't read it yet. I am SUPER excited. I've read a few of the other volumes. Hooray for Sandman!

Introductory Post

First post here! Hooray!

Hopefully I'll post to this more often than I post to the other blog I made. I think I will.

There is MUCH to say as of late. I've gotten several packages in the mail recently, all stuff I need to take pictures of. I just got a package today from home containing my camera, which I had forgotten, so pictures will come. For now I'll post my most recently completed knitted item, Unst socks!






I posted these elsewhere, but here are the specs:
Pattern: Unst from Knitting on the Road by Nancy Bush
Yarn: Knit picks Gloss, two skiens
Needles: 1s for the leg and 0s for the ankle and foot.
Mods: did ribbing pattern all the way down to keep them nice and tight, I guess I did the foot differently cause I wasn't paying attention to the pattern but I don't care, and I did a standard toe instead of the 5-point one.
Notes: One of these stays up really well, the other doesn't (go figure) so I bought sock garters (which I will take pictures of later) to help them stay up.
