December 2012

So a lot has been going on this month.
what with Christmas and new years right around the corner.
the craft show over with thank god. although we did hand out a lot of business cards we only sold 13$ worth of knitted goods D; I have to make more business cards soonish.






my work had a angel tree where you could pick a star and you bought the item on the star and brought it back in unwrapped. i pick a star the was a gift for a mother and it said scarf.

\so i donated one of the ones i had made for the sale.
Im working on a seed/drop stitch scarf right now and i need to make a bright yellow hot pink thing for my friend kitty becuase those are her favorite colours :D

Update!!!

So, your probably wondering why I haven't been blogging as much these days.


Well:


(MAY)
I had to find a new roomie to take my place in the apartment I shared with two other girls. 
And yes I had to  deal with all of the drama that ensued :S 


(JUNE)
I moved home at the end of June.
 My mother and me drove through 7 towns to get back to cow town :)


(JUNE/JULY)
June 22 i got a frog in my throat; Which turned into Whooping Cough and Pneumonia
yippee. I Am currently on 200$ worth of meds because I do not have health coverage ;(


(JULY)
aside from trying to get over my illness, Im also trying to track down  Full time employment
so that I can finish my collage courses.


And on top of all of this i have to deal with my father being in town and gutting my mothers house of his "things". I havnt seen the man since October. And no we do not keep in touch.


(Present)
Currently sitting outside on my mothers porch listening to Regina Spektor.
Working on my resume/blogging.
And flipping through the kijiji job ads.
Trying to stay out of my fathers way,
 so that these next couple of days go smoothly.


(knitting)
Ive completed
4 scarfs
countless coffee cozies
a couple of collages
and two purses
ALL for the November craft sale, that I want to enter with my brother.
He has been i-cording  hot pads for pots, knitting up some coffee cozies and crocheting a handsome
red scarf. :)

My Stitch n Bitch?

Good question!

Most of the ladies in my group decided that knitting is a none summer activity and

 stopped coming to said meetings of yarn and coffee. Linda my solid had to stop coming 

due to medical reasons. which is understandable.

has anyone else had this issue?

Meeting becoming none existant because KNITTING IS NOT FOR SUMMER...

Well its summer and im still knitting, getting a jump start on my early fall items.

I don`t care what they say. knitting is for everyday, every season every year.

one day they`ll see.

one day.
