Finally... Knitting for Me..
Like a breath of fresh air... seriously.. when was the last time I knitted something for ME? I can't even remember... that's scary.
I know you're probably expecting to see a progress picture of my TCC... but no.. I have decided that this week is a very bad week to start a project so complicated.. Not only have I been working (both at work, and on school) so hard for the past 4 days.. but.. erm.. it's that time of the month for me.. and I don't think I talk about it here.. but when that happens to me.. it really nocks me out more than most women. I don't know why but it's just really awful. and today was horrendus even though I was at work anyway.
So.. in order to make myself feel better.. I have decided that it's time for me to have my very own Bobbi Bear..
Recognise the yarn? Hehe. I think he's going to be cute.. The gauge is a little smaller than the pattern calls for.. but I think it'll be fine anyway.. I'm converting all the "knit until piece reaches # of inches" into the actual row counts so that I don't have a long and skinny bear.
I think he's going to be majorly cute.. I'm excited to get him finished so I can hug him!
...Yes... I am a dork... But I'm knitting for ME!! WOO!!
Oh.. and I'll leave you with an interesting story..
Today at work one of the students, who is a jock type highschool student saw me knitting and said "I wanna learn to do that! That way I can make me some wool hats!" Which I think is totally funny.. I told him if he brings yarn and needles I'll teach him.. and he actually said he'd do that.. so we'll see! I might convert one yet!
..Anyway... I gotta work on my bear's... BUTT! (*dies laughing*) Hopefully he won't have butt holes this time. (Har har.)
...Man I'm tired.. I'm sorry.

I believe that knitters are more determined "evangelists" than any cult member, religious prophet, or person with a gay agenda. The clicking needle sound is just SO seductive. Hope hat boy is apt. I may give lessons to the asst. manager of my local Borders!
About Me
-
- Name:Kim
- Location:Houston, Texas, United States
I'm a tiny short woman who loves to knit clothes that actually fit me. I first learned to knit when I was about 10 but I never got beyond knit and purl. I didn't pick up knitting again till about 2 years ago, and now with the help of tons of library books, I'm chugging along and I think I'm pretty darn good : ) I'm married, and love my Australian husband dearly.
