dykes and the bar...

So I was out getting coffee with a few friends the other day and we started talking about my mother. And we cae up with a list about why my momis interesting and it consisted of the following items:

1. She owns 5 Harleys
2. She built 4 of them herself
3. She wears ALOT of black leather
4. She can work with power tools as well and carpentry stuff
5. She can make things out of wood
6. Se's been married 4 times * and considering whe's only 40 that is alo if you ask me*

After we started talking about it I came to he realization...my mom is a lesbian!

So after I realized this I did what any normal person would do. I called her up to tell her that I know she is a lesbian and that she should just tell me. I'll understand.

So I called her up and told her that I think she was a lesbian. She laughed and asked why I though tthis. And so i told her, again with the laughing.

So she told me I could think what ever I wanted...

I also decided that I would start hitting the gym and tone up a bit an go to the audtion I was invited to at teh Unicorn, everyone says I would make a fun stripper casue of my gymnastics/acrobtics/contortion history...

so I calle dMark up and told him that if I'm going to do it he is too and he was like ok, then I informed the bf that I was going to do it and all he could say was "GREAT!"

what does it say about someone that all his freinds think its a good idea for him to be a stripper...if it was anyone else I woul dthink they need to get new freinds. I guess this jsut goes back to the post I had about not having a life...and how WRONG I was.

More on these stories as they unfold...

Thank god I love him

Befor eI start this I would liek to remind everyone how much I LOVE my bf..With that said...

Nick was cleaning up the apt today and he found a pile of old papers and ran them threw the shredder and linned our bunnies cages with it. When I came home I as like "Babes have you seen my patterns I was going thru them to find a sweaer to make for my sister."

He looked at the bunnies then at me and with plate size eyes he said "I can explain"

and that is why I have copys of my patterns...

forget that last post...

Never fails peopel like to prove me wrong. I have a GREAT life! I went to indy for the weekend to hang out with freinds and I had a GREAT time. I went to Mass Ave Knitt Stuff, then went to the Art Museum, GREAT TIME! Not to mention I went shopping with freinds and had GREAT chineese food down town. Then went drinking and dancing, got offered to strip again. *sigh*

As boring as my life can be I love it. Plus Kiki LOVED her hat. nick brough the digi cambut FORGOT the batery! *glares* So no piccies sorry babes... But I woul dbe making another one soon for her.

I decided I'mm going to have my sexy model/stripper/escort freinds for a sex spread to show off my knitting for this art fair that somehow my name was put into*ponders who did it*

Right now I'm working on a scarf like the red one that I posed before, but green. Its going to be atleast 12 feet long, the shoot is going to have my FAB gay freind Darrel naked withthe scarf wrapped around him covering his "areas" then I'm going to have him holding the neelds soit looks like he is still knitting it...

Can you tell I was an art major LOL

Any other cute pic ideas I should put in my profile?

my new knitting organizer

so i turned my clamshell ibook into my knitting organizer, the only thing on it are downloaded patterns and pics of my work...yea I'm SUCH a geek! So I'm lookin gon ebay to see if I can find a new clamshell so i can keep this as my knitting hard drive and one for play...

I need a life*tear*

$130 for that???

ok so have anyone heard anything on this? We were talking about it on Knitty, an apparently Abercrombie and Fitch * this is a rare time i will post ANYTHING about them* Seen her bag too and started selling a rip off version marked fown from her $130 to a nice $30. Now I can soo understand that she would be upset, but really this happenes all the time in the fasion world. I mean, look at the fashion at the oscars...within 24 hours tey already have knock offs made to put in stores.

If you want to read thw whole store you can here...you have to register to read it but that takes a whole 3 sec.

Thouhts???

I'll post pics of the KiKi's hat this weeknd when i canget shots of here wearing it...

Clamdiggers

After finishing KiKi's "tops off" hat I decided that I'm going to make myself some nice cotton pants. I was looking thru some catalogs and I found a pair of clamdiggers I like but I'mm not willing to pay $45 for them so I think I'm jsut going to see if I can make a knited version of them using this cotton yarn I have. I think they would look good in a knitted version don't you?



But anywhoo, I orded Loop-d-Loop last saturday and I paid for expected delivery and its not ere yet...I'm getting antsy...*sigh*

Hat for you...holes for me

So I'm almost done with this hat I'm making for KiKi my piercer, after a bunch of brainstorming I came up with this concest of what it will look like. When I'm done with t i shall post pics of i and with KiKi in it.

1.its going to have ribbing on bottom to hold it snug onher head and on the top to add a nice finished look.

2. there will be a drawstring on the top of it so it can be tightened to hold her har up and bad.

3. the colors are going to be black with white dots duplicated stitched around it

4. I'm using St. stitch for the main body of it.

5. the top is going to be slightly wider than the bottom that way all her hair can fit in it, the last thing we need is a cute hat but with half her hair hanging out fromthe back...

After all these things I'm making for people "Naughty and Nice", "Cart Wheel babby blanket", and this one that I'm calling "tops off" I think its time to make something for me...suggestions an idas are welcome!

My mom is...well she just IS

So I went clubbing last weekend and this owner of the club came up to me and gave me his card and told me to audtion sometime. I read it and it was to be a stripper for the club I was in at the time...I thought it was funny as hell. so what do i do? I called my momthe following morning to tell her casueim sure she would freak out.

So here is the convo:

Me: Mom guess what happeend last night when Nich and I were out?

Mom: What?

Me: I was ofered an audition to be a stripper at the Unicorn.

Mom: OMFG are you serious?!?!?!? that is so cool you should do it!

Me: What?

Mom: You shoul dso do it, think about it. that is GREAT money plus you get to hang around alot of sexy guys all night.

Me: *shocked* Excuse me?

Mom: Not saying I did it I just heard that its good money. If I were you though I would jsut think about it, then go up and go do it...

OMFG...My mother is always surprising me...

FOUND MY LYS

So after driving around Indianapolis going 10 mph I found a yarn store. Picture it, two fags driving down an inerstate crusing for a yarn store...It was a interesting sight to see...I mean really who knoew that Mass. Ave Knitting stuff was on VIRGINIA! but after asking around ithink it WA Son mass ave for a while.

But I got some yarn for this babyblanet I'm making for Rachel so that's fun, and I picked up some dpn needles to start on it. And after around 15 min of trying to work with them I have decided I CAN'T DO IT!

So I'm going to get on Knitty and see if I can't find someone to help me out.

I bought a new book of Amazon today


so WOOHOO! And I told my peircer that I was starting my own ebaystore and if that goes well maybe a little shop one day. THIS excited Kiki to no end casue she is ALL for bartering...So I am trying to design something to keep the mess of hair she has from falling into her face when she is working.

Speaking of peircers I am one, I trained in an actual shop. I did it for over 2 years. NOW after saying this I would assume you guys would belive me when i say I know what I'm talking about.

Here's the reason I am bringing it up...

Last night I was talking outside the shop with Kiki and these two guys walk over,and you can tell that they were drinking. I will not peirce someone that has been drinking and here are my reasons..
1. they bleed more
2. they swell more
3. they can pass out on me

And I told them that it migh tnot be a good idea if you get anythign done right now casue you were drinking and told them the reasonings behind it. One of them gave me a once over and gladered and said I won't bleed , she's not going to pierce a fucking artery. And I don't pass out, you might pass out but i won't

*screams*

I didn't say he WOULD I said MIGHT! no reason to get all pissed off with me when I was simply being nice and ofering my thoughts on the whole thing. I ot pissed off and had to walk away.

Did I mention i een another male knitter out when I was outside my fav coffee shop TRYING * and I use this word loosly* to work on that stupid blanket...

my new scarf

I know i know its jsut a scarf..but im so proud of it...I'm such a scarf freak...

you cant get the full dimentions from the pics but its around 5 inches wide and 10 feet long...walmart was having a sale on bernate "galaxy" so i bought them out of every color they had of it. and I used 2 skiens of the red and a skien of regular black yarn 2tog...

Not to shabby...






I made on in purple and amethist too lol

I got alot of Lion brand homespun and its going to have a faded look to it but other than that I'm stuck. I think I'mm going to do a paneled afghan mixing up the blocks...so far that's the plan. I'll post pics of my progress...

I'm on ebay...

So I decided to start an online store to sell charity scarfs, red and pink ones to be pecises. I figured this will give me soemthign to do and I am working to get some good karma. 75% of the money will go to charites that support breast cancer research or aids research. When I get my store up and running I hope that everyone out there will like to buy one.
