Green Twinkie Knits

Finishing FINALLY...but not finishing

2009-03-11T08:50:00.000-07:00

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!!!

Blocking my Jacket

2007-11-17T12:09:00.000-08:00

Ok well I blocked my pieces and found out that I have to make another side because the old one is wrong and all jacked up. I'm not excited about this at all. I took some pics though and I'm looking forward to getting the other side finished. Here are some pics:

I thouhg I'd get creative with the picture taking! lol. My sad attempt.

damnit to hell

This jacket is driving me crazy!! I'm just realizing I may have done the fronts the worng size...YAY FOR ME! I'm fucked! I'm sorry I have to use the icky word but that's what I am. But I just took pictures and I'm going to download them right now....

There ya go. I'm really tired...of this jacket. I'm about to murder it. Anyways...today was a fun day. I made Shrimp Creole. It was soo yummy. And then I went to a Garth Brooks concert and that was fun. The concert was more of a taping of the concert from last night but still it was awesome. I'm uber tired so I'm going to hop into bed! Night!

2007-08-11T13:34:00.000-07:00

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.

My new Puppy and new knitting news

2007-04-08T23:39:00.000-07:00

Well, I've been super busy at work. Working my ass off for the ungreatful pieces of....nevermind. My new puppy is driving everyone crazy. She's learning she can bark and will bark at anyone and everyone. Today we went to Knights Ferry and there was this little kid taunting my Callie. He walks past and Callie barks, we told her to be quiet, and we hear "You better tell your puppy to shut up!" from this nine year old kid who thinks he's the sh*t. He walks past again and I let Callie run toward him on the leash and stopped her just before she reached him. The fear in his eyes was SOO awesome. We had a great day in Knights Ferry but we also found out that our favorite knitting store out there closed down. My mom and I were very sad to hear about it. Anyways, we came home and we cooked dinner, which consisted of ham, yams, brocoli, rolls, and mashed potatoes. Very Yummy! Then we retired to the TV room and watched our shows. Desperate Housewives and Brothers and Sisters. I also made up some beautiful scones from scratch with some Devonshire Cream. Ohh it smells wonderful. I'll take some pictures tomorrow! My mom got me new pj's for Easter and candy. My mom is the best. Ohh tomorrow....Clothes to be washed and yarn to be bought! Anyways here is the pup!
The Puppy Callie! My new hair!

New Shoes...Sexy huh?

2007-03-09T18:20:00.000-08:00

well it's been forever. Mostly because I've been in this weird knitting funk....you know I've heard about it but i never thought it could happen to me. Back in Janurary it started. I got a new job, and then I started buckling down in school and I lost the knitting thing. It sucks but it's been lost...I'm trying to get inspired to finish projects and I can't. I have a pair of thigh highs I need to finish and a baby blanket that needs to get done, and a hat that was supposed to be for a knit along but that didn't happen. Now I have a puzzle. I need to start getting into it again. I want to make some more things but it's hard to get back into it. Any suggestions....???

On to another subject. I have finally got my puppy. She's the cutest little s**t of a dog. Sorry I can't be vulgar i'm at work. So yeah, that's what's goin on. time to get back.

soon to be knitting again

new stuff!

2007-02-05T12:32:00.000-08:00

I recently decided to hold off on the baby blanket. I am going to give it to her when I baby is born. I was just getting too boerd with knitting and purling, and the occasional yarn over. That is why I've started a green hat for Get-Stitchy's "Green-Hat Along" I'm making this hat for my friend's birthday. I'm gonna post pictures. Probably with in a couple hours if not a day or two. I have serious ADD when I'm on the computer.

new projects

2007-01-11T01:30:00.000-08:00

I have a couple new projects. I have started my new Knit.1 hat. It's really cute. I'm also doing a baby blanket for my friend who is pregnant. Here is a picture...

I got a little bit further on mmy socks! I turned the heel I'm doing decreases but I'm just completely screwing it up at this point I just want to finish at this point though. I would have posted a picture of the heel turned but my camera is being a hag and not working. So until then here ya go.

And also I got my brothers Christmas gifts this is one of the things I got.

Isn't it beautiful. My mom got matching earrings.

So there it all is. Sorry about the technical difficulties. I will take care of that tomorrow. See ya'll around.

Sock Progress, but don't jinx it!!

2006-06-13T22:55:00.000-07:00

ok here's my sock, I have made more progress than that but I took that two nights ago.

2006-06-02T00:46:00.000-07:00

Through my process if making a project and executing the project, I've found that in most cases I'm getting my emotions out using yarn or embellishments or just the act of knitting. Here's my story, in June of last year, today in fact, I lost my best friend and boyfriend. He's gone. So when in grieving I would think about the old times and only get more frustrated. Then in Janurary, my grandma taught me to knit, probably the best thing that has happened to me. I started making hats and attempted socks and made scarves. But only recently do I think, I'm not grieving in the same way that I did. I do bust out crying everyone's in a while but I can think while knitting now. I've sat and thought you know I miss him and I wish I could see him again. I think about all the usual things you think when you loose someone mainly I miss him! But I haven't cried as much and I haven't been depressed about it either. So in somehow knitting has brought me closer to him by letting my grief out in a constructive way. It's also relaxed me when I think about it and I don't tense up about it anymore. So I don't know if it proves anything but I just thought I'd share that with you guys!

school

2006-05-20T21:26:00.000-07:00

no knitting for the next week or soo...finals this week

Well I've done it again

2006-05-17T23:42:00.000-07:00

I screwed up my socks, I wanted to throw them across the room but I refrained. I really need to get the socks done atleast before next fall. I want to wear them soo bad. I wanna make a garter for them with i-cord straps or whatever to hold them up. GOSH this is killing me. Anybody wanna knit my socks for me?

DAMN IT!!!!

Well off to making them again!! If I don't thrown myself out in traffic before I get to where I was, I'll report back tomorrow with possible progress. I only have an English final tomorrow..writing an in-class essay!! YAY SO I should be able to make some progress if the feeling in my fingers comes back! lol...So I'm gonna go!

Socks in Progress..for the 100th time!!

2006-05-16T23:36:00.000-07:00

This is my first post in about a month. Sorry for the slowness, I've been in school and its about a week before finals so everyone is in overdrive. So there will be updates very soon.

OK OK OK, I am starting my socks again because I finally got the measurements right and everything. I have gotten a pretty good start almost completely on new yarn. I will try not to ginx it though. so here are some pictures:

This is when I broke it the third time(this week)

This is what it looks like now!!! YAY!!! Hopefully I'll go forward instead of backwards.

no socks but a coin purse is in progress!

2006-04-28T23:44:00.000-07:00

I'm working on a coin purse! it's going to be cute!
I'm still getting my socks negotiated! It's gonna take some time but damnit I'm gonna get them done!

Sorry for the language I'm a little frustrated becasue I haven't had a lot of time to knit. I'm workign on research papers for my teachers it's crazy. Not to mention I have some serious allergy problems....Spring is here...My nose is telling me!
So here is a picture of what i have so far!

home sweet home!!

2006-04-16T00:07:00.000-07:00

Well I'm home finally. I went to Mendocino Co. It was great...the trip back not so much..I don't know about you guys but I can't knit and ride down curvy roads. It's just to scary esspecially when it's a 200 ft. drop to the rocks....anyways I got about 3 inches down on my socks and realized I need to pull tighter around the corners I guess...so I ripped em out and started over....YAY!!!! :( So no pictures until I get passed the already accomplished 3 inches again...so I won't look like such a rookie...lol....ttyl

My Challenging socks!!

2006-04-13T01:44:00.000-07:00

Well today started out great. My mom and I went to the doctors then went to Tracy and somewhat got told that I couldn't be taught how to make socks on DPN's because the person didn't know how....but oh well there's millions of people who knit so somebody will want to help me. Any takers?
Then we came back home and cooked dinner for dad...succesfully...<---Mom and I aren't great cooks but tonight we conquered the bbq!! YAY!!

Then we left and we went to get gas...this is where it got fun...I'm pumping my gas..and done and I watch this butt in a blue truck "manuver" his truck into the pumping area and then this real ***HOLE comes up trying to steal the pump from the blue truck guy. Well mr blue truck guy took the middle spot leaving me behind him and mr ***HOLE infront of him. Well mr blue truck guy is backing up and all of a sudden SLAM!! He backs into my car...well...I'm screaming profanities and crying...because this is my first new car I don't like seeing dead bugs on it let alone a big buttface slamming into my car....so I backed off and his excuse was "I was in a moment of anger!" WHAT??

Then we go up to knights ferry for the knitting group and we are WAY early and we wait...knitting starts at 7 it's 7:05 nobody is there and nobody is waiting....WHAT THE CRAP??

So I'm ready for my Vacay...Here's my socks that I'm teaching myself to do!!

SORRY ABOUT THE BLURRINESS (it's 2 in the morning)

Night See y'all when I get back!!

Michael's Is stupid

2006-04-10T12:55:00.000-07:00

I went to Michaels today and they don't carry circular needles in 24" or 16"...I understand 16" but 24"s thats sooo stupid. But Jo-ann's has them......which we all knew Jo-Ann's is the shit anyways...but there's only stores in Stockton and Livermore. I'm there every week but still...GOSH!!! Freaking annoying...and lil' ol' Manteca doesn't have a knitting store....God this town is a big LOSER!!! Ok I'm done now..... Here's my hat I'm working on.

I'm doing it on size 10 circular needles 16"
