I cord handcuffs

I-Cord Handcuffs!
To spice up your night out with friends make these great durable and sturdy handcuffs.

Needed: 2 #6 DPN’s
Any kind of yarn (Usually a worsted weight, acrylic yarn is what I use)
2 Large stitch markers, the round ones that are actually plastic. I think Boye makes the ones I use. (probably for a size 15-17 needle)
Tapestry Needle
Cast on: 6 stitches
Make a 20” I-cord (can make longer if your headboard is taller) 
Bind off.
Fasten your stitch markers to each end of the I-cord and push the I-cord through its stitch marker
Insert hands or feet and have a blast!
Picture to come soon!

Finishing FINALLY...but not finishing

Well I'm finishing up all my projects and I'm working on all the things I've avoided. The knitting is done at least I have to still do the "finishing work". My mom had a hat that I finally finished to get her off my back. LOL. Now the next thing I have to do is make sure I still keep up on my homework! So yeah! I've moved to Patterson, CA. WAYYYY out in the country. I love it out here. I can't wait until summer hits so I can go relax in the back yard! Anyways I have to get ready for work! BLAH!!!

Just an FYI

It was Decmeber of last year, my mother and I were going to Oakdale from Manteca every wednesday to knit with the girls at the infamous GNO. I was asked to work in the store. Which I will not mention. I showed up about 30-45 minutes early waiting to start only on of the coolest jobs I could ask for and then the owner, whom also will not be mentioned, sat me down and told me I'm some sort of crazy person for having a place where I can release my anger with out putting a face to my words. The people who know me know that I go off from time to time. Things in my world are not always peachy and full of rainbows and puppies. From what I understood I was told basically that I haven't even begun to know what the real world was like and I shouldn't complain about my wonderful life. All of this coming from a woman who knows...well pretty much jack... about me. This woman who doesn't know that my boyfriend sommited suicide when I was 18 just 4 days after my high school graduation and about a week before my family, whom I hadn't seen in a very long time, came from out of state to spend a week with me. That whole time my family didn't know how close he and I were. And how much I wanted to break down the whole week. I still regret not breaking down. I can't let go of him, I loved him so much. This woman also doesn't understand what a divorce does to a child, young or old, it rips that person apart. Esspecially when you know exactly what went wrong and that there's nothing you could possibly do to fix it. This woman told me I don't have a right to get pissed off at the world and want to kick someone's ass. Since then, my great grandmother, who was my only insight to who my real grandmother was, died. I also suffered a ovarian cyst, which was so painful. I still have not survived my boyfriends death nor my parents divorce, as I live it everyday. This whole incident has caused me to just not enjoy knitting at all. I'm slowly trying to work it back in to my daily regiment but it's difficult.

Knitting to relax?

I'm sitting here, trying to relax after a very stressful weekend. I think about knitting and I think about looking for a job. I'm also thinking about what it means to be relaxed. And what people do to be relaxed. Sometimes I relax by sitting alone, doing yoga, driving around, getting a massage, and writing. I know many people who write to let everything bad out of there systems. I'm one of those people. There have been days where I write to cheer myself up, usually that's on my knitting blog. I have another blog that I only write all the bad stuff in. I usually do that to spare everyone all the BS about me. The truth about this post and this whole blog situation is that I've recently been not targeted but I guess precieved as a horrible person because of this other blog I have. I'm a 20 year old girl. My parents are getting a divorce b/c of a lady who can't keep her hands to herself (otherwise known in my house as whore.), two years ago my boyfriend commited suicide, I go to school full-time in Livermore (a 40 mile drive), and I can't find a decent job. There's alot of other stuff to go with that. And some how I've been precieved as some crazy person. I try to spare the horrible stuff on my knitting blog. It doesn't belong there because you guys don't care about all the shitty things that are going on (hence the knit in Knitting blog). My other blog really isn't horrible it's just things that have happened to me since high school. It takes you through my life from high school til today. Most of it is painful and if you read half of the posts you'd understand I don't really hate the world. Which brings me to my next lil thing. Since when does freedom of speech in this country not exist. I have right to be myself and to say whatever I would like in a fit of anger or not. I can't control who is offended by my words and who isn't. I thought there were enough people in this world who believe in freedom of speech. I don't sugarcoat things. Ask anybody I know. If I want to say fuck I'll say fuck. If I say fuck to much for you I'm sorry. Stop reading then. I just don't understand where everybody comes from. It pisses me off. I try to be considerate when I'm in public but when it's my feelings I don't hold back. I hope who ever saw this first is reading this. I hope you understand alittle bit more about me and maybe alittle bit more about the youth of America these days. We all aren't sweet and innocent. I'm one of the nicer ones around so let me have my little bit of anger.

This will be my only rant like post. If you'd like to see the blog I'm referring to comment and I'll invite you.

I need to start knitting again. I think it can get me through my parents divorce. I have done more dumb shit than I ever have in the past couple months than I have in my life. I think knitting and I need to get back together. I can't think of a time when I was more into my knitting, I was a good girl. My birthday is Sept 2 and I'm going camping. I'm really tired.
