'Oley Crap

Crappers

No really

Thats all I got pretty much

I almost went to the hospital tonight cause I was having immense stabby-pains in my abdomen. We decided not to go cause they got a lot more subdued, but they are still there.

I was supposed to go out tonight. Not just out, no, I was supposed to meet a new guy at the bar tonight, I venture we could call it a date. However, I'm not really interested in this guy, hes a little *too* geeky for my tastes. So, now I'm trying to disappear... but I don't know how.

Oi Vey

Big update:

I bought HP7, went to the big party at Harvard Square and finished in 36 hours.
Amazing.
I am trying to clean like crazy! But tonight I was distracted by a boy from okc. I meant to go through my clothes tonight, but I didn't get to it. Instead, I went through my bookcase.
Just now, I purchased 6 Imp's Ears from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab. I just realized though that I think I payed incorrectly. Nevertheless, I just got the little trials of: Jezabel, Muse, Spellbound, Bewitched, Florence and Nyx.

Ok, I know there's more stuff, but I'm wicked tired. So, uh... I have to go to sleep

geez, I've been busy

Well not super busy, but internet-busy! I started the Harry Potter Read/Knit-Along! Its coming along slowly, but still I've gotten some interest. So, all of my internetting has been setting that up and doing some PR.

I've been re-listening to HP5, I've already seen it twice, seriously, twice. Loved it, even if the book is ten thousand times better.

I've also done a lot of knitting and spinning. This is my favorite handspun yet:Lioness Rampant

I also am working on my Horcrux socks, they are really coming along. I just turned the heel of the first sock tonight! I hate turning heels. I'm still not very good at it.

I feel the need. The need... for posting?

Oi, Hi. Haven't forgotten about this thing, I promise. I've just been lazy. I have done little to no knitting since the last post. I went away and then I worked a lot. I have spin quite a bit though. I finally have that Lioness Rampant from SparkleyLoves on etsy on the bobbin and Oh. My. Goodness. Can we say ammmazing and freakin gorgeous.

The long weekend in Upstate with the ex went well. I kind of miss him, but then I remember why we broke up and how hard his professional life is gonna be for pretty much the next ten years. I mean, yea, I could be a very supportive friend/girlfriend/whatever.... and I would be, but I wouldn't be happy with the amount I got back in return. So yea, occasionally I miss him, and this weekend only brought back the missing a little bit, but really we're better just as friends.

Knitting wise: Like I said nothing. I started the baby blanket and hated it, so I'm froggin it. Then I found out she's having a little girl, so I'm really happy I'm frogging it. She wants pinks, brown and a little purple (Think this). I had blue and yellow (think stars). So, its to the frog pond and I'm back to square one.
Thinking about getting back to work on my Sweetheart Sweater. I got to the sleeves and got bored/burned out. But its been a while so maybe I'll finish it as soon as I finish those damn Jaywalkers. I have half a freaking foot left and I just keep ignoring it.

My camera broke during my trip. I'm a little more than upset.
But, I did stop at Webs on the way home and dropped $150(after the discount) on yarn and fiber. (Too bad I can't take a picture of the prettiness). 2 skeins of sock yarn, 2 skeins of Misti Alpaca and 4.5 lbs, yes POUNDS, of pretty stuff to spin. Can I just say YUM?!

OH!!!
I might be starting a Harry-Potter-Along. A Read/Knit Along for Book 7. Any HP themed pattern will work. I'm trying to get it set up ASAP, cause well its only two weeks away. I'm trying to figure out how to get it started see if there's any interest at all by asking around Ravelry and L&V message board. So far pretty positive responses, but there already is a lot going on out there HP-wise, but most of it has been going on for a while getting ready for the new book.

Ok, so this was a really scattered post and for that I'm sorry. I'm just really exhausted from spending the day with my family for my Aunt's Engagement Party. Oi.
