Deliver Me

Deliver me, out of my sadness.
Deliver me, from all of the madness.
Deliver me, courage to guide me.
Deliver me, strength from inside me.

All of my life I've been in hiding.
Wishing there was someone just like you.
Now that you're here, now that I've found you,
I know that you're the one to pull me through.


Deliver me, loving and caring.
Deliver me, giving and sharing.
Deliver me, the cross that I'm bearing.


All of my life I was in hiding.
Wishing there was someone just like you.
Now that you're here, now that I've found you,
I know that you're the one to pull me through.


Deliver me,
Deliver me,
Oh deliver me.


All of my life I was in hiding.
Wishing there was someone just like you.
Now that you're here, now that I've found you,
I know that you're the one to pull me through.


Deliver me,
Oh deliver me.
Won't you deliver me.

just breathe

Nick left me...

Knit Your Bit

So I TOTALLY want the Red Cross Knitting Kit.



Comes with everythign to make a set of socks PLUS a vintage pattern...

hmmm I wonder if I can find one on ebay...

*wonders off*

So I make Mr. Stiles a VERY cute pair of socks...








But after hearign that Mr. Stiles find George W Bush HOTT I decided that he has som eissues that he needs to work out befor ehe can have these super cute socks...

I am going to keep them here at my house untill Mr. Stiles gets better and no longer wants to hold his hand or play footsies under the table at dinner with him...


Please send Keith your warm wishes and lets all pray for a fast quick recovery...

Hi I'm Krys and I'm a Addict...

Hello I'm Krys and I'm an addict...

I been sober for 2 weeks. Every day it gets harder esp. when people keep giving me my fix. I open my mail and I find things crammed in the the far corners, I go meet up for coffee and I have people dropping baggies into my carry all...I find people selling it for far below street price...

That's right I'm a Yarn-A-Holic...

I have recieved over 20 balls of yarn, and I'm slowly trying to figure out things to do with it.

So far I cant wait to cast on for a pair of socks for DH...

How great is this Memories in Redwood Forrest from KnitPicks



and I got a lovely skien from Charles of his own dyeing called Forest Light. This is going to become something fo me...



I also have a few new balls of Opal *I love this stuff* and Genius...can we say felted bag!

Th eother things I'm wotkin gon I cant realy post pics of becasue the are gifts for some friends of mine. Mr. Stiles and Mr. Gentry to be exact but I can tell you that these to sexy bitchs are going to LOVE what they are getting!

So I bought read and LOVED Knitting Rules. Everyone should get this book it was jsut as funny to read as it gave goo dadvice about that boring scarf you been working on.

Well It's 5 am and I'm 'goin gto curl up and watching the rest of Diary of a Mad Black Woman.

Sock Wars

So I signed up for Sock Wars I don't know WHY bu tI think it might just be fun...

I hope some people I know join in. There are 400 so far I think...That's alot of socks...


Well I hope idon't get killed too soon into the war

Look its beginning to snow

Ok so I know its the middle of Aug but I'm starting to knit for the holidays...

I figured If I want to get everything done early is ALWAYS beter to start...

So far I know I want to make:

1. Socks for a few people
   
2. Tempting for my sister
   
3. Baby Blanket for Nicks Sister Cashmere socks for me...hehe
   
4. Afghan for my mother

But my first gift I'm making is for my friend Mr. Alan Gentry. He needs something to take his mind off work and so I decided to make something fun that he can use. I wont mention it here because he reads this blog, but I told him that if he keeps asking about it he is going to have Baaad JuJu and that is not a good thing to have...But I will keep you posted on his gift. And on the same page I think I'm going to make a quick gift for Mr. Stiles before he goes off on another show for the Cirque. When I figure out what it is I'll inform you all.

*sigh*

I have to get ready for work and await the new ep of Mosh knits. Hopefuly it posted sometime this week I do so love Miss Brooklynne Michelle's show.

cheap Cashmere...what what?

I was reading Mister Gentry's blog today * as I do everyday* and a line caught my eye...

There is one thing we all have in common. We occasionally (or once a week, or every day, or every 45 minutes) geek out and show the world, via the internet, a little piece of our lives.

And I think that is a fair thing to say to everyone that takes the time to blog...

So I as cranking Mosh Knits...the greated podcast ever...and she Misstress Brooklynne Michelle was talking about a yarn designer and her stores on ebay and etsy... I looked her up and I wet myself...540 yards of Mernio for $30...and 100% cashmere for 30...yea im soooo getting some. Cashmere socks anyone???


in other news the international scarf exchange is up and going again. You beter believe I signed up for it...;-)

Well off to the grind...Later lovies!

What an unusual view...

Frogs, RAK's and Belly Dancing

So I'm sad to say that I frogged my sock. You know that I HATE frogging ANYTHING, so the fact that I frogged this sock says somthing. I was using the pattern from A Good Yarn, a good book but the pattern was a little off center. It was a 5 needle pattern yet it didnt say how to divide them nor how to seperate them when doing ribbing. I might have to try it again later but right now I'm just putting that pattern aside.

Now to my RAK, I got a package from a friend from Knitty, containing:

1. New DPN since the ones I'm using now got wrapped * I think im going to warp these too but ill try to loosen my grip lol*
   
2. 2 skeins of memories from KnitPicks. Redwood Forest I do believe she sent me. I LOVE the colors and figured I'm going to make them into a pair of socks for DB *I use DH and DB interchangeably throughout this site but its the same person* for the fall. He's been nagging at me for 2 years now to make him a pair of socks and I'm tired of him stealing he ones I made for myself.
3. A skein of Magic Stripes from Lion Brand, which I'm knitting on right now.

So I think I make out rather nice.

Last night DH and our friend Russ went out to eat at Greek Islands and it was rather nice, I mean what can you say about a place that has belly dancers, flamming cheese and people screaming "OPA!" every 5 minutes. Fun people and great food. There vegan selections aren't GREAT but they had enough that I will want to go back again sometime.

Well, I'm to finish this sock.

Happy Knitting!

the Frog that didn't happen

So after knitting with my brand new Opal and making the heal flap to a new pair of LOVERLY socks I realized something...

I was going to turn the heal but I didn thave enough stitches...

Where did my misseg stitches go you might ask. WELL...as it turns out I was knitting along minding my own and forgot to combine the stitches so I have 30 for my heal flap....

So After frogging back to the cuff (and for those that arnt familar with socks that was a few ours work sines im knitting on fucking toothpicks) and after trying to put the stitches back on and fighting not to frog the whole damn things, I was able to start the flap again...

BUt on beter news I'm loving this Opal. its not black like I thought it was, its a dark blue that fades to white in a few spots...Very loverly....

When I finish I'll be showing them off!

I Am Not My Hair

I been jamming out to this song for months...I thought i would share it with you all!


Is that India.Arie? What happened to her hair?


Little girl with the press and curl
Age eight I got a Jheri curl
Thirteen I got a relaxer
I was a source of so much laughter
At fifteen when it all broke off
Eighteen and went all natural
February two thousand and two
I went and did
What I had to do
Because it was time to change my life
To become the women that I am inside
Ninety-seven dreadlock all gone
I looked in the mirror
For the first time and saw that HEY....


I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am not your expectations no no
I am not my hair
I ma not this skin
I am a soul that lives within

What'd she do to her hair? I don't know it look crazy
I like it. I might do that.
Umm I wouldn't go that far. I know .. ha ha ha ha

Good hair means curls and waves
Bad hair means you look like a slave
At the turn of the century
Its time for us to redefine who we be
You can shave it off
Like a South African beauty
Or get in on lock
Like Bob Marley
You can rock it straight
Like Oprah Winfrey
If its not what's on your head
Its what's underneath and say HEY....

I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am not your expectations no no
I am not my hair
I ma not this skin
I am a soul that lives within


Does the way I wear my hair make me a better person?

Does the way I wear my hair make me a better friend? Oooh

Does the way I wear my hair determine my integrity?

I am expressing my creativity..

Breast Cancer and Chemotherapy
Took away her crown and glory
She promised God if she was to survive
She would enjoy everyday of her life ooh
On national television
Her diamond eyes are sparkling
Bald headed like a full moon shining
Singing out to the whole wide world like HEY...

I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am not your expectations no no
I am not my hair
I ma not this skin
I am a soul that lives within


If I wanna shave it close
Or if I wanna rock locks
That don't take a bit away
From the soul that I got

If I wanna where it braided
All down my back
I don't see what wrong with that

Is that India.Arie?
Ooh look she cut her hair!
I like that, its kinda PHAT
I don't know if I could do it.
But it looks sharp, it looks nice on her
She got a nice shaped head
She got an apple head
I know right?
It's perfect.
