I could blame it on the cold, but that is a lie. I will however blame it on <a href="http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/">Penny Arcade</a> Crap, I shouldn't have reopened the page, it's like crack. <br /><br />On the good news side of things I'm in <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/twir/37/forum-funnies-36">This Week In Ravelry</a> Since the breaks between stanzas got a little messy I'm re-posting the Villanelle here<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Learning to Knit</span><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">a found villanelle, lines found in an instructional knitting book and the forums on Ravelry.com<br /></span><br />To knit a stitch, insert the right needle into the first stitch on the left needle<br />Garter stitch is formed when every stitch of each row is knitted<br />Will I ever learn to purl?<br /><br />It is important to knit with the proper tension or gauge<br />Work up a swatch and pin it out without stretching it in any direction<br />To knit a stitch, insert the right needle into the first stitch on the left needle.<br /><br />When I do a gauge swatch, I get 3.5 stitches per inch instead of the recommended 4.<br />My swatches LIE LIKE DOGS (not bitter, not bitter, not bitter)<br />Will I ever learn to purl?<br /><br />Sometimes a dropped stitch may go unnoticed and form a ladder.<br />Dropped stitches, however, are easily corrected or picked up.<br />To knit a stitch, insert the right needle into the first stitch on the left needle.<br /><br />I'm not sure I know what ladders are!<br />I really want to learn how to catch a dropped stitch with a crochet hook<br />Will I ever learn to purl?<br /><br />I avoid using DPNs at all cost.<br />Using a circular needle is much easier.<br />To knit a stitch, insert the right needle into the first stitch on the left needle.<br />Will I ever learn to purl?<br /><br /><br />And now I'm off to read some more Penny Arcade and drink the rest of this orange juice.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454129798932581551.post-60775269809335915952008-09-28T21:54:00.000-07:002008-09-29T00:12:55.943-07:00Errm, I has a schedule, I thinkI've been looking at my schedule, and the things I intend to blog about during the week. Before I moved, started 15 hours of classes, got a job, and became addicted to Ravelry, it was an easy thing to post regularly. Now not so much. I'm going to re-do the regularly scheduled events. I am fairly certain that I am going to get rid of all of them except the Wednesday Happy List, which I want to start doing again.<br /><br />In the mean time I'm going to ramble a bit about my new horde of WIPs.<br /><br />This is the pattern that I am using for my first Special Olympics scarf:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3109/2889920204_75e79c02a3_b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3109/2889920204_75e79c02a3_b.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />It's in Red Heart Super Saver colors Delft Blue and White. If you haven't heard about the Special Olympics Scarf project you can find out more <a href="http://www.coatsandclark.com/Crafts/Crochet/Features/Special+Olympics.htm">here</a>. After starting this, I realized that the stockinette will curl like mad, and this is acrylic, so it won't block, unless I murder it. I've decided that to combat the curl, I am going to do 10 repeats of the pattern then knit a blue and white striped garter stitch scarf the same length and sew them together. That or I'll experiment with crochet edging.<br /><br />Next up on the list is another afghan, this time instead of 20,000,000 miles of single crochet I'll be knitting 1X1 squares like this one:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuj4UMTMJSlHSotwAASAP7iDxqgXVv_gx-_zN7_YWd_ZZbYnv64rfu0qPKZade0aCxCT6z3V34jDUzn2UGhfMXyMItfteiL8u-Co0Fiiomjtg3auzhniaJBDe4ZADNXdcihGaBscNqhRM/s1600-h/WIPS+9-28+002.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuj4UMTMJSlHSotwAASAP7iDxqgXVv_gx-_zN7_YWd_ZZbYnv64rfu0qPKZade0aCxCT6z3V34jDUzn2UGhfMXyMItfteiL8u-Co0Fiiomjtg3auzhniaJBDe4ZADNXdcihGaBscNqhRM/s320/WIPS+9-28+002.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251324705513942370" /></a><br /><br />This is being done in Caron Simply Soft Heather Gray and Autumn Red.

I'm using the deliciously soft and frustratingly slippery Debbie Bliss Pure Silk. Here is my progress so far:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5V_vIVKpuE0KQ7q3Z82Tlj9GaeEz5c_R-XsAGsfOrjMJrJ-nAIYvPlwuznFswAj-ixvzdoHVF9oU5Zn3u_okep27zCdS02UD3BZ-3QcWNubCmpV0wkZds7aFFvmCsOirPvcH4ofNTYTg/s1600-h/WIPS+9-28+003.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5V_vIVKpuE0KQ7q3Z82Tlj9GaeEz5c_R-XsAGsfOrjMJrJ-nAIYvPlwuznFswAj-ixvzdoHVF9oU5Zn3u_okep27zCdS02UD3BZ-3QcWNubCmpV0wkZds7aFFvmCsOirPvcH4ofNTYTg/s320/WIPS+9-28+003.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251331835490801906" /></a><br /><br /><br />To round out the whole mess of fibery goodness I also started an <a href="http://laughingpurplegoldfish.blogspot.com/2008/08/easy-peasy-crochet-bag.html">Easy Peasy Crochet Bag</a> in some Bernat Naturals Soy that has been hanging around for months. I hated knitting with the stuff because it has no elasticity what so ever. Crocheting is going much better.

Lucky for me, my residence on UH campus has had electricity through this whole ordeal. I got home at about 5:30 in the morning on Monday, neatly circumventing any traffic issues. Classes at UH "resumed" on Tuesday, meaning that we had classes, but no tests or assignments in any of those classes. Professors were very understanding of students who couldn't make it to class because of issues related to the storm. <br /><br />On to some fibery goodness complete with pictures!<br /><br />First off, remember a million years ago when I started an afghan in single crochet with some nifty looking green and black stripes?<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3207/2864277633_5e4fa40634_o.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3207/2864277633_5e4fa40634_o.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Yep, it's done. I have the Ravelry group <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/groups/one-day-a-week-for-ufos">One Day A Week For UFOs</a> to thank for the inspiration to finish the frigging thing.

Until this afternoon I had never knit a dishcloth, now I have two hand knit dishcloths and am on my way to a third. Why didn't anyone warn me?

It was squee at first sight, but in order to make one I would have to eat 9 cans of Pringles. I have nothing against Pringles, in fact I think they are quite tasty, but running out and buying then subsequently eating 9 cans just to make an organizer seems silly to me. <br />A few minutes after veiwing the Pringles organizer I wandered into the kitchen where I spotted our stash of 12 pack soda boxes and inspiration struck: drawer organizers! (ok so the Pringles organizer has very little to do with the story, I just really liked it.)<br /><br />We started with this:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidXZdEQBKzSScuWWahGeUJUh6yoQ-9NrxfY-0lfvuuwPU4K_02Y6EQsCXoK3ro6O75TrVui4gyX1ESoQPji-W0qvN_P078WeTw-s5e7Jfq8-VGKMZ9YTMWRvsuYbOmi7JuJS_Wd3vYOkY/s1600-h/100_0238.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidXZdEQBKzSScuWWahGeUJUh6yoQ-9NrxfY-0lfvuuwPU4K_02Y6EQsCXoK3ro6O75TrVui4gyX1ESoQPji-W0qvN_P078WeTw-s5e7Jfq8-VGKMZ9YTMWRvsuYbOmi7JuJS_Wd3vYOkY/s320/100_0238.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193013952583937362" /></a><br /><br />Then did some of this:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrHaIvTW64Kj3K7XySYUSAoX4lkChN4SY4TRewIDt2tB5b9xNNiU49gZWHOAiT_3ESNjOMZ4aTfYkFIlCmW8_7alJRcT6qND06zU3iJAP_C9-MGdjTx3nWV6iOI6nb_mBohyG3_93eJnw/s1600-h/100_0243.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrHaIvTW64Kj3K7XySYUSAoX4lkChN4SY4TRewIDt2tB5b9xNNiU49gZWHOAiT_3ESNjOMZ4aTfYkFIlCmW8_7alJRcT6qND06zU3iJAP_C9-MGdjTx3nWV6iOI6nb_mBohyG3_93eJnw/s320/100_0243.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193014223166877026" /></a><br /><br />and we went from this:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8LF5YrtGs37Xcthe3qnwnOm03BiGlL4u7UrcDqt5LRq2tQ76lTm1OjbTOpyhvYxH9lMYTWNiwPjEhVFwIdB4NnJdGnt5F8n3DULgHinmdr0-mjwqzaLAJE05D_vfoyVn6ywyqPI8Ftio/s1600-h/100_0239.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8LF5YrtGs37Xcthe3qnwnOm03BiGlL4u7UrcDqt5LRq2tQ76lTm1OjbTOpyhvYxH9lMYTWNiwPjEhVFwIdB4NnJdGnt5F8n3DULgHinmdr0-mjwqzaLAJE05D_vfoyVn6ywyqPI8Ftio/s320/100_0239.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193014510929685874" /></a><br /><br />to this:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1tRg1pb9wU7xYkTciMJYhWLTP6N_tbba7P0vaUxs9rajFrhsdo4ACGbtr6gOUl6tVEPpBLcd8_O4zOtzXyT3-7ZBO2blA0MUljqp0Iov5n4WMuSxCVbAO6nfKEn3_eu1Az_XYyr8nPz0/s1600-h/100_0245.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1tRg1pb9wU7xYkTciMJYhWLTP6N_tbba7P0vaUxs9rajFrhsdo4ACGbtr6gOUl6tVEPpBLcd8_O4zOtzXyT3-7ZBO2blA0MUljqp0Iov5n4WMuSxCVbAO6nfKEn3_eu1Az_XYyr8nPz0/s320/100_0245.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193015932563860898" /></a><br /><br />Ta-Da!<br /><br /><br />Oh and: Dear Jayne I knit you this hat...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpjbyp2T0zUi2ebmYEn9-nWp5n7PAb1P5lpM9goDQ7RWg25b-PS1fdLdVzf2KSxNn8rjXwklAHMbVnnfrVbjH9MSeuiPabwfrTbgQnXVDy7Y-Th2LH8cEt1maDOLpVNxtgoOycTJsDeKw/s1600-h/100_0250.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpjbyp2T0zUi2ebmYEn9-nWp5n7PAb1P5lpM9goDQ7RWg25b-PS1fdLdVzf2KSxNn8rjXwklAHMbVnnfrVbjH9MSeuiPabwfrTbgQnXVDy7Y-Th2LH8cEt1maDOLpVNxtgoOycTJsDeKw/s320/100_0250.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193015223894257042" /></a><br /><br />Despite telling my self I would not, I bought Jayne Hat yarn...

This story starts in Houston on an unremarkable day in July. I was in the city to pick up a kitten and have lunch with two of my nearest and dearest, we will call them A and B for now. <br />I was slouched in a booth next to B, A was sitting across the table, and the conversation turned to nipples. And I took what had been a perfectly light and lively discussion of anatomy and twisted it into something bleak. “You know, my nipples got darker recently.” I said, it seems perfectly innocent, a simple thing really, but it was only a preface. I had just poked the tip of an iceberg into our conversation, and we were about to hit it head on. <br />“Really, do you know why?” A asked, sucking on an edamame shell. <br />“Yeah…” I paused, thinking, how do you say it? There was no handy euphemism, despite my southern roots I could find no series of words to make the truth any softer.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454129798932581551.post-27609622667575315082008-04-23T12:51:00.000-07:002008-04-23T13:00:17.159-07:00Can't Say I Would Like it Any Other WayFive Completely Random Things That Make Me Happy:<br /><br />1. Silk, because it feel so yummy.<br />2. Austin, because it's a damned fine town.<br />3. Wheat Thins, the original kind.<br />4. Bandannas, for those days when ypu just don't feel like fixing your hair.<br />5. Firefly, because it's just awesome.<br /><br /><br />Last night I realized I am addicted to my random conversations with Barker. At about 11 pm I was feeling deprived because I hadn't heard from him. Turns out I missed his call earlier in the evening. I don't think there is a day that goes by in which I don't hear from him in some way shape or form, and I love it.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454129798932581551.post-10673719711240687242008-04-22T20:19:00.000-07:002008-04-22T20:54:40.795-07:00No Pictures because I'm feeling LazyThe Market Bag came off of my needles this week, and it is super cute, I just haven't taken any pictures of it. My criss cross garter is also halfway done, but at the moment it looks like a lopsided rectangle with random holes down the sides. It will be a long while before I cast on the second piece as I had the brilliant idea of knitting worsted weight yarn on size 0 needles. Oh my hands! I nick named the 0's "Squiggles." Grams gave them to me, which means they are older than I am.<br /><br />Most of the day today was spent working on the garter, and watching Firefly, so now I'm trying to resist the urge to run to the nearest store, buy a bunch of yarn and make a Jayne hat. I will lose this battle eventually, especially since I know several people who would love to have a Jayne hat of their very own. I've also been thinking about an awesome Mario Afghan I saw on the Crochet Me blog. I could do that, and if I can't, the bat lady can show me how.<br /><br />Christmas knitting is also on my brain at the moment, I know that I am going to make Branching Out for both Mom and Grandma, out of Debbie Bliss Pure Silk. Colton who will turn 1 in October will get an afghan, his mom April will probably get the Doctor's Bag from Knit Two Together, and I'm thinking Clapotis for Rae. I can't think of anything to make for the men in the family, if you have any suggestions please send them in my direction.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454129798932581551.post-42200195306509784082008-04-21T10:59:00.000-07:002008-04-21T11:03:11.155-07:00I squealed like a 12 year old girl,when I read <a href="http://knitty.com/blog/2008/04/biggest-contest-knitty-has-ever-had.html">this</a><br /><br />Knitty has had 50,000,000 visits, is holding a contest, and I can't quit drooling over the list of stuff they are giving out.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454129798932581551.post-14877765602689245492008-04-20T19:43:00.000-07:002008-04-20T20:23:10.944-07:00Vagueness;it just doesn't sound right.
