The Pumpkin King

This is Morty

So I am soo exited that I finished Morty. Ok so he's not 100% yet I still av to remove the temp stuffing put eyes and a nose on him and restuff him...but to me he's pretty much done enough I can show him off...





I just need to trim him up a bit but I think he's FUCKING CUTE! and everyone needs to make one...hmmm I wonder if there is a hedgehog KAL....

*wonders off to find one*

and yes you can expect a few more to be added to my collection here soon. I got him done in one night so he's really easy * all it is is garter stitch* an he comes out SOO cute!

punk rock...

So I have a new project I'm starting tomorrow at work. I went to my LYS and I took a new knitter with me. And as we were walking around NK said "Grab what ever you like and I'll get it for you." After I picked my jaw up I was like...umm...ok So after looking around i found ONE ball of yarn i was going to get...It was this GREAT trekking sock yarn and i was going to be mine....till I walked up to the register.

The girls were talking about some fiber trends patterns and I love those patterns alot so I joined in talking about the clogs I wanted to make. Well the girls started talking about the stuffed animals, now im not REALLY familar with those patterns so I started looking them up and I found this...



So umm yea I threw my trekkin * I know gasp* and ran and grabbed yarn to make a punk rock Hedge Hog...can we say blue and purple...

I'll post pics after I make it I SWEAR!

My Scarf came in and "Duey" has a name

So I got my scarf today along with goodies, tho I kinda downed the chocolate and they were tastey...mmmm..

but my scarf is GREAT I love it and as you guys know I'm a size queen when it comes to scarves and this is sooo over 12 feet lone i love it. I will post pics soon!

And Mr. Duey has a new name. Well kinda. Duey is now his middle name and his first name is De Vil. Now when I get a bigger place I'm getting a girl and going to name her Cruela...

I know im a geek.

I have finished a few pairs of socks and I'm about to cast my noro I have to make a spiffy hat...more on this later.

But other than that I'm workin gand being dragged around DT indianapolis by my fuckin ghorse of a dog. This sounds fun but I didnt realize the attetion i would be getting walking De Vil. I have people running out of coffee shops to pet him. Which he loves btw UNLESS your homeless. For some weird reason De Vil feels he has to protect me from homeless people and if they ask me for change he gets into attack mode and tries to take of their fingers or some other body part that he is close to.

But I have my studio pretty much how I want it * again pics soon* and I even have a knitting corner that I work in that I'mm thinking about getting a spinning wheel

...OMG I'M A FUCKING FREAK...

but I have to let you guys go for a few I have a few rows on a sock I have to finish before I can start my hat and De Vil looks like he needs to take a quick walk...

Later everyone

and Mr. knitXcore *don't make me use your first name R**** * by order of The Brookelynn you need to UPDATE!
