I am suffering from a serious inspiration block..when will it end. Uninspired in life, knitting and blogging.
Is it a summer slump, let's hope.
I have knit a bit, nothing exceptional

Yeah for Fall

2005-09-06T07:23:00.000-07:00

yeah...fall is here my favorite time of year..Time to knit...knit..knit.
I have been practicing my modular knitting, I learnt in class, it is fun but at this point less than perfect, I will post some photos soon.

Knitting Classes

2005-08-21T07:39:00.000-07:00

I just speed two wonderous day in knitting classes at the Gibsons Landing fiber Arts Fest.
Day one was modular knitting...As shown in picture below and also making a shawl with yarn over and increases. Oh My God...I have left my scarf days behind.
The instuctor Wendy Henderson, who is published and amazing, was such a good teacher.
that is her work in the picture. Now, many were fast little fingered and brained girls, but I plugged along and even at my less than speedy knitting, I learnt so much. I now look at a pattern and it is not a foreign language. I really makes you feel like you can move to the next level, what ever level you are at.
The second class was Fear of Finishing, we learn to do an I cord and a attached I cord for trim,a three needle bind of..And so much more. In my case it was more Fear of Moving On to New Things.
I was wiped out and my head is swimming with new info and reasons to buy new yarn. (of course)
Every one is a a different level so it is great because people were so helpful.
It was definitely a top ten in my life, I was suffering from scarf doldrums and questioning whether I should knit or not. I wish I had taken classes ages ago.
Of course the class was filled with charming and funny woman of all ages, we swapped emails and I am sure will be swapping knitting stories for a while down the road.

I have a display counter in the store but no one can ever see any thing because it is always covered in yarn and projects..This is Paton Mosaic..Which looks like camo and is super soft. I stick to scarves and such while at the store because I lose track of what I am doing..when those dreaded money spending customers come in to harass me..

A cloth bowl with fizz trim just sewn on..this is the first bowl I made and it was fun and easy, I have ordered some fun asian inspired materials to make more..this one is square obviously but can be made in various shapes and trimmed with bling or yarn...

I have boo boo knitting fingers..does this happen to just me?

2005-07-13T18:09:00.000-07:00

I have sore fingers from knitting so I had to apply bandaids to continue...is this normal???

PS>>>> I really never planned on becoming a knitting...middle aged woman with too many small dogs in tow...I was a crazy club girl till I was 40...then it just happened...first the weight around the middle,,then the grey hair..then the knitting...then the dogs..

Today is Sunday...my susie homemaker day...
I have decided to organize my craft area and my ever growing yarn stash.
Whilst doing this I realized just how bad and desperate it has become.
CAN YOU RELATE TO THIS SIGNS YOU ARE OUT OF CONTROL:

1] I do not own a coffee table but a chest that doubles as a coffee table so I can stuff it full of yarn and my significant other thinks it is just a coffee table..
2] I aquire more and more "knitting bags"...Oh the $100.00 uber bag I bought with the million pockets, needle case is not enough..Every tote bag I see becomes another knitting bag...one can never have enough bags...right
3] My sudden love of baskets...round baskets, square baskets, covered baskets, little baskets, big baskets...I feel like I am in a Turkish Market..in some exotic country...no, it is just my bedroom.
4] The perfect shelving unit..."But dear this is perfect, just put it together and it will help me be organized"...I promise it will really help...till I stumble apon the next perfect solution.
5] Zip up laundry hampers...sneaky yes...cleverly disguised as innocent laungry hampers, can be placed in any corner...stuff with balls of yarn..
I spend my money on yarn...I don't own enough clothes to fill the hamper..
6] I do not need a sock drawer...I live on the West Coast...socks we don't need no stinking socks...great place for yarn.
7] Books and Magazines...look at my shelves and you would think I've never read a novel in my life, but ask for a back issue of Voque Knitting....I'm on it...like lightening fast...
8] The worst...not actually being able to part with your screwed up, messed up...nightmare experiements...they can be coasters..pot holders...yarn stash bags...one day I will connect every square I ever knitted in to a warm and fuzzy blanket to cover the entire world...honest I will....

Do you show any of this symptoms...

I finally got my yarn...it was caught up in customs...the recycled rayon is beautiful but a bitch to unravel and messy to work with but worth it..soft like butter.
I was a good girl in Vancouver and bought no yarn...just a knitting book and a knitting journal...that is not considered adding to stash but finding ways to to get it down..
I am in Chapters paying for them and my hubbie got me a coffee, which I delicately....
knocked over at the cashier, spilling all over the magazines and the floor.
I stopped business for about 15 minutes while the staff ran around looking for some way to clean it...I was mortified..started a hefty menopausal sweaty melt down..but I was lucky none of the sticky caramel coffee got on my books..I am so selfish....yeech.
I have made a vow to not start any new projects for a week as I have about 10 -half to three quarters projects on the needles...we shall see if I can finish at least some of them

where or where is my recycled silk?

2005-07-05T07:35:00.000-07:00

It has been weeks and no sign of my sari silk...damn the postal service anyway..But I get to go to the big city today..I go like 3 times a year so I may have to visit a yarn shop...OUCH (that was my Visa Card)..

Does Knitting Cause Antisocial Behavior

Tonight I have been invited out for sushi..yum..yum..but the couple I am going with have kids so they must feed the little varmits first.
(i love kids really I do) so we are meeting at 7:30 pm..but I get home just after 5:00 pm and like to do my socializing early so I can knit.
Now I love to go out but not if it interferes with a project..go out right after work then come home and knit.
How the heck can I finish anything if I gulp back a few Sake's..My knitting is wanky enough at times...but Sake gives you that warm fuzzy feeling (I wish you could drink sake for breakfast...but that is considered bad form, I guess)
Anyway I am working on a tank top, I have finished the front and hopefully will complete tomorrow

Happy Canada Day to All...

i am a shameless addict

2005-06-30T17:54:00.000-07:00

fibrelicious
Yes it is true...I am addicted...I did not bring yarn to work with me today because I had ordered some recycled sari silk that I was convinced would arrive today...Off to work I troddled with 2 knitting needles in my purse[much to my husband's glee as I usually have a bulky knitting bag in tow..]
Sadly when I checked the mail...nothing..Like a good husband he asked if we should return home to get my bag, but as a dutifull wife I said "no I would be fine".
Yeah OK..till about 11:00 am then the jonesing started..slowing it built.. consuming my every thought..so I started to rip apart a hat I had made that had not sold..what was I to do I could not spend a whole day in the store with out making something.
Then the young and sweet manager of our Chamber of Commerce came in to see if we could donate some food..[my husband and sister own a restaurant]that my store is attached to. Like any self respecting junkie, I saw an opening...she had mentioned in her conversation that she was going to the Visitor Info Centre, which is situated a mere block from my friend's yarn shop..The wheels were clicking in high speed..She wanted free food..I wanted[NO NEEDED] yarn..So I most unembarassingly asked her to pick me up some since ahe was going down there anyway..
She was stressed, "what should I pick she said"
"Anything I said"
"But what if you do not like it" she asked with hesitation in her voice.
I panicked, I was losing her..she needed direction quick..
"Anything...Anything" I said "Just no fizzy stuff, I hate Fizzy stuff"
I quickly shoved a twenty in her hand and with no guilt of putting this sweet youg lady out of her way..
Little did she know she could have returned with spun dog hair, I would have been happy.
Now I understand addiction, I smoke...I know..I know..no lectures please..
But can you really experience physical pain and actually hibbie-jibbies because of a lack of yarn..Who knew?
I never really got into smoking pot as a youngster due to amazing paranioa, could this be a form of lantent addictive behavior due to the lack of pot smoking in my formative years.
I am addicted, shameless and ready to use the need for a free munchie platter to exploit people in the middle of the day to go buy me yarn..
I am ashamed..but she picked, good a nice simple HomeSpun from Lionbrand..varigated with a touch of purple..I happily cast on and started a project..and experinced no more pain..

How cute are these...made from a pattern from Erika Knight "
Simple Knits with a Twist..in my case simple being the operative word...reading patterns is not one of my strong suits..So I must highly reccomend these books because if I can follow the pattern so can your average cocker spaniel.
In the book they are made with silk ribbon, but I used Crystal Palace " Party"..The are not flawless but I realized where I made my mistake so I can correct it.
I must admit I did aquire the yarn yesterday...even though I have to much already and about 10 unfinished projects, but it spoke to me...I think in Yiddish, but oddly enough I was able to understand ( I do not speak Yiddish only a splash from Woody Allen Movies) and the yarn was saying very clearly" it's ok buy me , use your VISA card...it was very vexing..what is a girl to do..I will finish the other tonight..
I was able to finish this today at my store so loosely translated that means I had a crappy day and will not be able to pay the Visa bill...but It is so shiny and they are so cute...who cares...ps..these are not my feet..but an unsuspecting teenager..
I gave up pink socks in my 30"s..

Today I was lucky enough to be home as stated I decided to sew some bags...then like nails on a chalkboard..my neighbor
is out there cutting down a tree...now do not get me wrong...I am no tree hugger type..but this is the most beautiful willow tree..every year she hacks it down to have a better view of the ocean...now this tree is amazing and stood there for years..till the crazy lady moved in..I hate gas powered tree trimmers and weed wackers..vrooooom...vroooommm..they drive me nuts..
so I put on Chemical Bros. full blast on my deck (yes I am close to 50) but i am still a rebellious teenager at heart. I live in Canada's only rainforest...if you do not like trees why live here. It is not like she cuts the whole tree down..she leaves this strange Tim Burton-y
ghoul tree there instead...if she knit, she would not notice the tree so much and leave it alone...that is the cranky old lady in me...

today I crocheted to some success...This is from "simple crochet" I still have a bit to finish but it was good practice with my less than perfect crochet skills...It was perfect for today because my store was steady "damn those vile shoppers" interrupting my knitting with wanting to give me money to pay the bills...There should be some Dept.

I am celebrating with a glass of red wine and a bag of M&Ms...Jedi colors...I bought them so, when I stuff the entire bag in my face I can blame it on "THE FORCE".
the red wine...ok that is my fault.
I have a confession to make...OK ,I bought yarn today, it's not like I went out looking for it..my friend who sells yarn in a co-op market here in Gibson's came by and showed it to me...Like the shoes that follow the girl home in the Visa commerical...this was not my fault..If the yarn comes to you what the hell am I supposes to do...my store is like 200 square feet, it's not like there is anywhere to hide, I do not even have a change room.

but it is sooooo cute paton poodle...I am going to make 8inch squares and connect with square cotton material to make a quilt...oooh the hairs on my neck just stood up when I typed that.

And my knitting guru...I call her Yoda..she hates that..made our first Turkish Slipper...I call it ours because I own the book..and she crocheted it..I am a crappy crocheter so I am living through her accomplishment..

today I should get 2 new erica knight books from amazon..simple crochet and simple knits with a twist...I am very giddy with anticipation...I don't crochet a lot but would like to get better
and the Moroccan Slippers are super cute..
I am making a pair of maryjanes that I found a pattern for...
I must work today at the store..I am always torn there..I want it busy but I love to knit there too.
I sit outside the store on a chair and everyone checks out the project as they walk by..Some making comments or asking questions...Many of the teens that shop in the store are starting to learn to knit..They come up for lessons.
I always tell them I am not a sophisticated knitter but can teach you the basics.
since a lot of the girls that shop, are alternative..they are are interested in making wristbands and such..I gives me joy to help them out....TA TA for now

My First Post

2005-06-14T07:55:00.000-07:00

I have decided to create a knitting, crafty, bloggy, thingy.
this is my first post..
I am working on a pink scarf made from recycled silk from Nepal...
it is my latest love.
I am like a crazed drug addict..I must feed the need for yarn.
Is it a sign of addiction when you start stashing yarn in hiding places so you hubbie does not see them.
I was putting a bag of extra? yarn together to donate to the Gibsons Landing Fibre Arts Fest...that is where I live and I found my self acting a bit like Frodo,
hanging on to the ring..Now the yarn does not have it own background music yet..ok maybe in my head...but I found my self touching and feeling it not sure I could part with it...
