New Drops patterns ...

2010-06-12T22:21:00.005-04:00

I thought I'd pop on over to the Drops/Garnstudio site & see if the new fall patterns are up for preview - http://garnstudio.com/lang/en/visoppskrift_nye.php
There are quite a few that I really like ... I might even have to learn how to crochet more than a square ... here's a few that caught my eye ...

Is it just me?

2010-06-12T17:38:00.002-04:00

ok, I have a question ... is it just me or other people buy yarn to make something wonderful with but then don't knit with it because they like it to much ... maybe I'm not saying this right ...
I was going through some of my stash & I was finding all kinds of yummy yarn, but I never use it, I keep thinking in the back of my mind that I like the yarn so much, but what if I make something with it and I don't like it ... it'll be a waste ... ::sigh:: ... I do the same with fabric, but not to the same extent ...

The recent birth (December 7, 2009) of an Amur leopard cub at the Serengeti Park in Hodenhagen, Germany, is all the reason we need to celebrate. Amur leopards are critically endangered; it's believed that there are fewer than 40 of them left in the wild (they're native to eastern Russia), with an additional few hundred in zoos. The cub, an as-yet-unnamed female who's now a month old, recently made her first public appearance at the zoo. LA Times

Interweave Knits Winter 2009 Issue

2009-11-18T09:50:00.003-05:00

Well, I saw the email in my inbox this morning and thought I'd pop on over & check out the new patterns ... so far I like ...
Nora's Sweater, Aquitaine Pullover & Icelandic Star ... but I wont be knitting any of them anytime soon as I have test knits to do, Christmas knitting to finish up and I must try to squeeze in a little bit of doing nothing at all - lol

Nameless has a name ...

2009-11-11T16:24:00.005-05:00

The pattern is up so that means I can spread the word ...
I was test knitting (just finishing it up actually) a pattern for the AWESOME designer Samantha Roshak of KnitQuest. Her newest pattern Vestpa is up and for sale now.
This little pattern is great! It is an easy knit but very enjoyable too. It's a great portable project to take along to the rink or on car trips. In fact, I love this little pattern so much, I ordered some Woobu to whip up another one!

JUST DOESN’T UNDERSTAND
A couple of days ago, a military police officer was waiting in traffic on "whatever" Rd. at a construction site. At this time the lead vehicle was not proceeding on the green for two full light cycles. As traffic began to back up, the officer approached the driver who was talking on a cell phone. When questioned as to why she was still not proceeding on the green, she replied that she couldn’t as she was talking on the cell phone and that you couldn’t do that and drive under the current legislation. A short education on the law was given to the driver and then traffic resumed.

Can people really be THAT stupid ...........

You ever one of those weeks ... or two? I start, I look, I rip, I start I look, I rip ... and thus the pattern continues ...
So, I decided to start something else ... does that make any sense?
I knitting up a pattern that shall remain nameless for the time being, but I did up my gauge swatch & had to go up a couple needle sizes, but hey, that's fine ... I also ordered the actual yarn the pattern was made in as I've heard nothing but great things about it and I found a great colourway ... but for now I shall venture forth with Cotton Fleece in Salmon Berry Red ... wish me luck!

Film star Patrick Swayze dead at 57 ... he passed away peacefully today with family at his side after facing the challenges of his illness for the last 20 months," said a statement released Monday evening by his publicist ...

I remember going to see Dirty Dancing at the movies as a teenager and just wanting to run out of the theater & go dancing all night ...

And Ghost ... well, I found out that throwing clay isn't at all like in the movie - lol - but I still loved the movie ...

The Outsiders ... the big tough but loving older brother ...

Youngblood ... hey, it's a hockey movie, what more can I say ...

Point Break ... Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves in the same movie ... yeah baby!

Well the list could go on and on ... he was a good actor and pretty dang nice to look at ... he will be missed by many ...

Movie Time ...

2009-07-22T22:27:00.000-04:00

Well, I took the kids to see Harry Potter ... first off I guess I haven't been to the movies for a while and I dang near passed out when they said it would be $41 for the two kids, 1 student & 1 adult ... YIKES!!! Then we got snacks ... 1 medium popcorn, 1 small sprite & 2 bottles of water = $20 ... YIKES again!!! I couldn't believe it! It's highway robbery! Anyway, the movie was alright ... very long ... was pleased with the beginning but didn't like the ending ... the in between stuff ... eh ... nothing I would rate as fantastic, in fact, I think previous movies have been much better. Oh well ... we've seen it & it's done ... now back to our regularly scheduled programming ...

Happy Birthday

2009-07-06T22:01:00.001-04:00

Thrift store purchase

2009-06-05T11:21:00.004-04:00

Well, I had taken dgd off to off-ice and she was following that with on-ice, so I thought I'd drop into a thrift store I hadn't been to before & go thru the racks to see if there was anything good that I could take apart for some new stash ... well, I found a men's large MEXX sweater! A very nice light beige-ish colour (so if I want do dye it, I can) in a lovely linen/cotton blend! Well, I took it apart during the game last night and to my very fortunate surprise, the seams were crocheted together, which made my dismantling of the garment a LOT easier. Have one 'skein' washed & drying and several more to go ... I think some of this might go into a lovely 'French Girl Knits' sweater pour moi ...

What color is your rainbow?

2009-05-21T22:15:00.002-04:00

Your rainbow is intensely shaded violet, red, and green.

What is says about you: You are a passionate person. You feel strong ties to nature and your mood changes with its cycles. Those around you admire your fresh outlook and vitality. You are patient and will keep trying to understand something until you've mastered it.

Find the colors of your rainbow at spacefem.com.

2009-04-24T22:11:00.005-04:00

Well, after looking at the pics on-line of the garments in the book & all the completed projects on Ravelry, I broke down & bought the book today! French Girl Knits! What a great book! I think I love just about every pattern in there, and this my dear does not happen often, which I am sure may other knitters & crocheters will attest too!
Here are a few things from the book ...

time flies ...

2009-03-28T15:11:00.007-04:00

Well, it looks as though it has been a full month since my last post, shame on me!

Things have been busy though ... sick kids, hockey, school, school break, sewing and of course knitting ...

Right now I can't seem to stop thinking about the flood in North Dakota and Manitoba. Having lived in both places it just rips my heart out to see that river rising to all new heights. It is one of those things that when you see the river at it's lowest you can't even fathom that it could even get that high, and then you watch it rise up and up and it is awesome ... but not if a good way. The forces of nature are truly something to be reckoned with ... the pure unsettling havoc they can unleash on a community can be horrific. I just pray that all the people and animals can get out safely and that they do not lose their lives or their life's treasures.

Hack, hack ... blahhhhh

2009-02-28T18:10:00.002-05:00

I have been neglecting my blogging lately, not exactly on purpose, but due to a lack of energy.
My 2 ds's are both sick with fevers and horrible chest coughs, and being their primary care giver has landed me with the same ailment ... dh & dgd have both been trying to help out by letting me grab naps here and there & helping out a little more around the house, but as always, there are certain things that I like done a certain way - lol
Anyway, when I am feeling better, hopefully very soon, I shall try & get some pics up of the fo's I have done since the beginning of the new year ...

My Favourite Yarn Shop ...

2009-02-16T16:14:00.005-05:00

Mary's Yarns in Unionville is by far my fav yarn shop! They ALWAYS have AWESOME deals in the sale room, the staff is very helpful & friendly and it is just a great place to be ... These pictures don't even show HALF of the store, but I was far to busy browsing, touching and scooping up yarn to take more pictures ... next time maybe - lol

Knitting

2009-02-02T12:18:00.005-05:00

Yes, I have been knitting ... quite a bit actually, just not documenting it so much here. I have put some pics up on my Ravelry page, but I also have yet to photograph all my projects ...On the weekend I finished up a pair of felted mukluk's ... well, yes & no ... I finished all the knitting, but felted them today, and they aren't really mukluk's as I didn't make them into a high boot and I really strayed from the pattern making many modifications ... but I like them and that's all that really matters since they will be going on my feet!

Along with these, I have been working on two sweaters that are my own design/pattern, I have made several Thorpe hats and various other projects ...

Bushisms: U.S. leader sets standard for mangled phrases during presidency

President George W. Bush will leave behind a legacy of Bushisms, the label stamped on the U.S. leaders original speaking style. Some of the president's more notable malapropisms and mangled statements:

-"I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully." - September 2000, explaining his energy policies at an event in Michigan.

-"Rarely is the question asked, is our children learning?" - January 2000, during a campaign event in South Carolina.

-"They misunderestimated the compassion of our country. I think they misunderestimated the will and determination of the commander-in-chief, too." - Sept. 26, 2001, in Langley, Va. Bush was referring to the terrorists who carried out the Sept. 11 attacks.

-"There's no doubt in my mind, not one doubt in my mind, that we will fail." - Oct. 4, 2001, in Washington. Bush was remarking on a back-to-work plan after the terrorist attacks.

- "It would be a mistake for the United States Senate to allow any kind of human cloning to come out of that chamber." - April 10, 2002, at the White House, as Bush urged Senate passage of a broad ban on cloning.

- "I want to thank the dozens of welfare-to-work stories, the actual examples of people who made the firm and solemn commitment to work hard to embetter themselves." - April 18, 2002, at the White House.

-"There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again." - Sept. 17, 2002, in Nashville, Tenn.

-"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." - Aug. 5, 2004, at the signing ceremony for a defence spending bill.

-"Too many good docs are getting out of business. Too many OB/GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country." - Sept. 6, 2004, at a rally in Poplar Bluff, Mo.

- "Our most abundant energy source is coal. We have enough coal to last for 250 years, yet coal also prevents an environmental challenge." - April 20, 2005, in Washington.

- "We look forward to hearing your vision, so we can more better do our job." - Sept. 20, 2005, in Gulfport, Miss.

-"I can't wait to join you in the joy of welcoming neighbours back into neighbourhoods, and small businesses up and running, and cutting those ribbons that somebody is creating new jobs." - Sept. 5, 2005, when Bush met with residents of Poplarville, Miss., in the wake of hurricane Katrina.

-"It was not always a given that the United States and America would have a close relationship. After all, 60 years we were at war 60 years ago we were at war." - June 29, 2006, at the White House, where Bush met with Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi.

-"Make no mistake about it, I understand how tough it is, sir. I talk to families who die." - Dec. 7, 2006, in a joint appearance with British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

- "These are big achievements for this country, and the people of Bulgaria ought to be proud of the achievements that they have achieved." - June 11, 2007, in Sofia, Bulgaria.

- "Mr. Prime Minister, thank you for your introduction. Thank you for being such a fine host for the OPEC summit." - September 2007, in Sydney, Australia, where Bush was attending an APEC summit.

-"Thank you, Your Holiness. Awesome speech." April 16, 2008, at a ceremony welcoming Pope Benedict to the White House.

-"The fact that they purchased the machine meant somebody had to make the machine. And when somebody makes a machine, it means there's jobs at the machine-making place." - May 27, 2008, in Mesa, Ariz.

-"And they have no disregard for human life." - July 15, 2008, at the White House. Bush was referring to enemy fighters in Afghanistan.

- "I remember meeting a mother of a child who was abducted by the North Koreans right here in the Oval Office." - June 26, 2008, during a Rose Garden news briefing.

-"Throughout our history, the words of the Declaration have inspired immigrants from around the world to set sail to our shores. These immigrants have helped transform 13 small colonies into a great and growing nation of more than 300 people." - July 4, 2008 in Virginia.

- "This thaw - took a while to thaw, it's going to take a while to unthaw." Oct. 20, 2008, in Alexandria, La., as he discussed the economy and frozen credit markets.

Have you ever had one of those days where you do something that you usually don't ... for one reason or another you feel compelled to do it, even though it's not common for you? Well, that happened to me yesterday.

We are in the process of moving so I was up early as the packers where due to arrive before breakfast. So after I put the garbage out I picked up the newspaper in the driveway and brought it in, so far nothing weird. But I never read the paper, I'm more of a sale-flyer type chic, but today something made me sit down with the newspaper, and I was drawn to one certain section ... why ... I don't know! So with coffee in hand and paper in the other I was immediately drawn to one particular article about a single vehicle car accident that had happened the previous morning. As I read the horrific details surrounding the accident I felt deeply saddened for those involved & those left behind, but then I read the name of the driver that was killed, and it was my friend. I could barely catch my breath, I was shaking and tears were welling up in my eyes ... I just her not a week ago with my kids. We were telling her that we were moving shortly, which she knew but she didn't know our dates yet. We all agreed that we must see each other again plus have visits after the move. We all hugged and wished each other the best & promised to keep in touch ... but now everything has changed.

I had promised to knit her a pair of socks for her birthday ... green, she wanted green socks, any shade of green as long as the were green (her favourite colour), so I said she would have them ... well, I never got around to making those green socks although I thought about them from time to time, and now I will never be able to give her those socks, but I shall knit them, and I shall create a unique pattern that I shall offer to all of you, in memory of my friend, Gayle.

And to Gayle ... may you rest in peace knowing that you touched the lives and hearts of many, many people, more than you could every know I am sure, and you shall be missed by all who knew you, but know you are at rest, looking down on us all, watching over us, because that is who you are, a guardian angel ...

Caturday?

Dh's sister just had a little girl, so I picked up the needles and whipped off a couple quick little items:

A is for Amelia

B is for her bib

C is for her cap
