My Cycling Buddy...

Hey everybody! I have great news... I have a cycling buddy!





His name is Patrick and he came all the way over from the UK to do the ALC with me. I know isnt that GREAT! Not only that but he is going to have his own blog for the ride. When we get everything worked out I will give you the addie ;-)





Ok let me find a pic of him...


Okay so Patric is a bit older than most of the riders. He said he stopped counting his birthdays after his 211th but like most Gnomes they reach their prime at 300 so I think he is going to be in GREAT shape..

Well everyone keep a look out for us in the next few weeks. We have to start getting everything ready for the ride ;-)

funky town

For some reason I have just been in a complete emotional funk the past few weeks, and I cant seem to shake it. You would think that I 'm doing good at work, picking up a job at the LYS and being less that a month away from ALC7 *have you donated yet* I would be on the moon...but I'm not...

So I figured I could do something more...that might help me out. So i bought Knitting for Peace. I LOVED this book and im glad I finally got it. But I cant stop crying when i read it...

case in point...

i was reading about mother bear project its a charity where you knit teddy bears and send them to children in africa that lost their parents to HIV/AIDS and more than likly they have it too...this little girl lost her parents then found out she was positive at school they teased her and made her life hell she told the teacher that her only freind was this bear that she got from the project when she died they made sure she was burreid with that bear...

Now how the hell am i suppose to knit when i have stories like that making me...well all leaky?

To him:

Every time I see your face
I get all wet between my legs
Every time you pass me by
I heave a sigh of pain
Every time I see your face
I think of things unpure unchaste
I want to fuck you like a dog
I’ll take you home and make you like it
Everything you ever wanted
Everything you ever thought of is
Everything I’ll do to you I’ll fuck you and your minions too
Your face reminds me of a flower
Kind of like you’re underwater
Hair’s too long and in your eyes
Your lips- a perfect suck me size
You act like you’re fourteen years old
Everything you say is so
Obnoxious, funny, rude and mean
I want to be your blowjob queen
You’re probably shy and introspective
That’s not part of my objective
I just want your fresh young jimmy
Jamming slamming ramming in me
Every time I see your face
I think of things unpure unchaste
I want to fuck you like a dog
I’ll take you home and make you like it
Everything you ever wanted
Everything you ever thought of is
Everything I’ll do to you
I’ll fuck you ’til your dick is blue

Thanks Liz

Mothy Goodness

YAY a new FO!



Its the Wing of the moth scarf that came with my shawl pattern I'm doing. I needed to take a lil break from the shawl and do a quik project so I cansted on the scarf with a spare ball of Noro I had. I think it turned out GREAT dont you?

I have another ball somewhere so I think I might make another one HEHEHE....too cute I know!

Other than that I have just been working and plugging away for this bike ride...and of course knitting...

Omg I almost forgot...speaking of knitting guess how scored a job at his LYS....OH YEA...how happy am I *dances around naked* Its 6 bucks an hour paid in yarn... So that's not bad. God knows when I'm not at H&M I'm Down Town knitting anyway, why not knit and get yarn while I do it LOL

If anyone has heard of the Subversive Lace its coming to Indianapolis! I'm going to be working it some of the days its here...couldt you just poop! I'm going to be working the opening. they want us to be knitting something vintage, like wartime knitting... So i think im going to see if I cant find a few vintage wartime sock patterns...

YAY for fun knitting news!

Listen to the Sounds of the City

So I woke up this morning in a great mood, I don't really know why. I work up around 8:30 with the sun filling my studio, I made coffee and left the house. and to my suprise it was a beautiful day out so I walked over to Lazy Daze and sat onthe patio enjoying my morning coffee and a book. A good way to start the morning i feel...





After I finished my coffee I went on a little walk of downtown luckly I had my digi on me and took a few pics on my morning walk...this make me giggle a little bit...



As you should know Indianapolis is becoming rather policical these days. We have a Obama office right off the circle and they are giving away Dave Mathew tickets for anyone that wants to register to vote...thank god I regestered forever ago...Incase you didnt know I'm not a fan of Dave...I know big shock, but I never got into him...

But I have been using these few days off at work for good. I have been knitting and fundraising so that's always a plus right. And I'm getting my peices designed for a show I'm putting together, so that's always fun right...

So I lost my scarf I make a few weeks back, not a big loss it took me a few hours to make. But I forgot that everyone else doesnt knit, I KNOW RIGHT! I popped into the lib to see if I left it there and the woamn behind the counter asked me what I lost and of course I said the first thing that popped into my head:

Me: It was a ladder lace scarf knit with black homespun, 4 ply with accent colors apox 8 feet long.

Her: Blank stare

Me: umm...I lost a black scarf...

Her: OOOHHH ok let me check

Needless to say it wasnt turned in, oh well I guess I have to knit myself a new one...

But on my "to do" list today...have tea with someone dangerous...wish me luck!

Spring has Sprung!

Hello Ladies and Gellyspoon,

After long last spring has hit Indianapolis...If you are not familair with Indiana weather let it be known that it is as unperdictable as Sybil on a good day. But all in all it makes great weather to set in one of our many parks and knit. I am proud to say that I am plugging along on Anne's Wing-'o-the-Moth Shawl and am almost done with the double leaf pattern, and just about to start the edging.



Not to shabby if I can say... But I can tell you know that this is going to be a monster of a shawl once I have it off my needles, just holding the center up to my one half is a good 4 inches past my arm length and its not even done and blocked yet...This is going to make someone REALLY happy...Lets just hope I can find a place to block it out at lol



Lets see what else...*looks thru the pile of knitting*



Oh yes I needed a new scarf for the spring since its going to be warming up so I grabbed one skien of Bananna Fiber that I had laying around and whipped this little number up!



Isnt is cute. it was a simple Double Drop Stitch Scarf. Something new to add a bit of color to my waredrobe since most of you know I have a bit of a habit to grab the closest black garment in my closet...




you ahave to admit that those drop stitches are super cute and fun...Go ahead admit it...I can wait I have some wine chilling so take all the time you need to praise me with love...

But yea So far I think my knitting is going pretty nicely. Nothing new to report. I bike out of L.A in T-54 days and counting...WOOHOO so if you havn't put your donation in yet GO DO IT NOW!

www.aidslifecycle.org/1128

That way you can atleast get your name in to when some of these fun knitted goodies!

But I think I'm going to go enjoy this wine and find some food...But I will talk to all you lovely peoples later!

Ciao for now!

Just for fun




What Krystofer Means



You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life.

You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip.

People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them.



You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something.

You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense.

You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.



You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in.

You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising.

You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care.



You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong.

You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know.

You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do.



You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life.

You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home.

You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble.



You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life.

You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you.

At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself.



You are loving, compassionate, and ruled by your feelings.

You are able to be a foundation for other people... but you still know how to have fun.

Sometimes your emotions weigh you down, but you generally feel free from them.



You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.

You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.

At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

Scream if you wanna go faster!

So incase you dont know we had the BIG TEN this weekend in Indianapolis, and since I work DT in the mall we were VERY busy...And becasue of the 200,000 extra people we had in the city parking was a BITCH! So instead of parking at work and shelling out $20+ dollars a day I had my roomie take me to work.

I get in around 1:00pm and start my day. Around 7 a call comes in and its for me but since im in the middle of a store full of crazy shoppers I had them take a message...It turned out to be the roomie...

I call him back and he tells me he is going to be going out of town around 9 and would be back later and if I could find a place to crash tonight since he is going to have "company" when he got home...

Okay so after my freaking out in the break room...thank god for out endless supply of coffee, tea, and chocolate Taylor told me she had to go out my way and it wouldnt be a problem getting me home...*insert deep breathe here*

So after I get home around 10:30 the house is still empty so I gathered my stuff and when into my room downstairs and started knitting.

Around 12 I hear people come into the house. I stay in my little room minding my own.

1am they are gone again...which tells me they are out drinking...

they get back around 3:30 and hang out in the living room...again im in my little room minding my own.

5:00 gets here and the roomie comes down and is like Krystofer you're here! GREAT could you do me a favor...

Keep in mind im still up from work and just lounging knitting away.

Sure I tell him what do you want. He tells me that the company needs to go home and if I could go with them since he wasnt able to drive back. Sure I can do that I reply, forgeting that he lives 65 miles away in Richmond. I get dressed and grab a sock that I started to I have something to work on in the car ride up there.we got there, Company got out and I took the wheel for the car ride home *another hour and some drive back to our house*

We pull into the drive way and I get out of the car. Walk to the drivers side passenger door and see something caught in it. After closer inspection i see its string....a VERY familar color too I might add...

I followed it to where it ended outside the car, and there 4 feet behind the car was my sock...

I thought it was safe in the car when I got out but i guess I got out, it fell ouy, I closed the door on the ball in the car and my dear sock was left to dangle on the highway being dragged 65 miles at 90 MPH...

thank god it was at night and noone was able to see me dragging my knitting.

But after crying to my dear friend Mathew he reminded me that even Masters of the univers like up sometimes have to leave our socks out to dry...

I'm going to wait abit before I knit inthe back seat again

Lace Cashmere shawl for 5 bucks...what?

I was going to sell off some lace shawl for charity but then i thought it thru…I was going to be waiting a bit for someone that has that much money to by a shawl.

So I decided that I was going to have a raffle. You can donate online directly to the charity these are going for sale for OR you can get tickets from me. Every $5 is a entry…

I figured that way I can get alot more donations instead of waiting for a larger one.

So far I have the Icarus Shawl done I have to get pics of that up and im working on a shawl from Victorian lace today…I have a few more planned out after that.

So if anyone wants in on grabbing there own Lace Shawl hand knit by ME please feel free to pop over to my ALC page and donate a few dollars!

Ribbed 4 his Pleasure

Since my Bday is Monday I thought i would give you guys a little gift from me to you! A FREE sock pattern!

So I thought you guys might like the pattern for these great socks! They are pretty easy and yet SO comfy!



Pattern:

Cast on 60

Arrange around 3 dpns

Cuff: K2 P2 ribbing. Cont for 3 inches

Now this is just what I did but after I was done with the ribbing I would arrange my stitches so that I have 16,16,28

Leg: Begin K3,P1 ribbing for 9 inches or till its the length you are happy with

Heel: Now for the fun part! You get to turn the heel dances around naked

This is a Short Row Heel, now if you have never done these dont worry they are REALLY easy and I prefer them to heel flaps since there is no flap WONT have to decrease in the gusset or pick up stitches...which i LOVE

Knit till you get to your needle with 28 stitches.

Knit till you have two stitches left on the needle. With working yarn in FRONT slip the next stitch, move the yarn to the back and pass the stitch back onto the left needle and turn work.

Purl till you get to the last 2 stitches and with the working yarn in BACK slip the next stitch, move the yarn to the front and slip the stitch back to the right needle, turn work.

Knit till you get to on stitch before your wrapped stitch, and repeat the wrapping process.

Do this until you have 8 wrapped stitches on each side

Hang with me we are almost there!

Its time to pick up the stitches we just wrapped so knit back to your last wrapped stitch and slip your needle thru both the stitch AND the wrap knit them together slip and wrap the next stitch so that there are 2 wraps turn your work and purl to the next wrapped stitch. Slip both the stitch and the wrap onto the needle and purl them together. Wrap the next stitch and turn work.

Knit back to the next stitch and slip needle thru BOTH wraps and knit 3 together, wrap the next stitch and turn work. Purl back to the next stitch, slip needle thru s stitch and the 2 wraps purl 3 together, wrap the next stitch and turn work.

Now you will continue doing this till you get to the last stitch and which point you will just knit it and start on foot.

Now go eat a WHOLE bar of chocolate

Foot: you will continue the k3xp1 ribbing till you get 3 inches from the end of the sock so if your sock finished sock needs to be 10 inches long you will knit 7 inches then start the toe.

YAY are you excited we are almost done with this damn sock!

Toe: Knit one round even.


I start decreasing my toes on the needle with 28 stitches and im going to refer to this as needle 1 for the last bit.


*Needle 1: K1 ssk knit to the last three stitches k2gther k1
Needle 2: K1 ssk knit till end of needle
Needle 3: Knit till there are 3 stitches left K2gther k1

Knit the next round even*

Continue this till there are ten stitches left

All you have to do is graft the toes closed and you are set!

Now here comes the hard part about socks...I know you are VERY proud of that sock you are holdingin your hand right now...but alas you have to put it aside and start its twin....

hands you more chocolate and a glass of wine

ENJOY!

If you have any questions feel free to email me ;-)

Bday hideout

So my Birthday is Monday the 18th and I'm hiding out in Chicago just out of Boystown. I tend to do this every year anymore. Plans for the weekend are to relax, read the Thornbirds, have GREAT food, alittle shopping, and head out to the movies on my bday...And I DID bring my knitting. I started the "Large Rectangle" shawl from Victorian Lace Today with the Leaf and Trellis lace design in it. SO far its coming out really nice. I have a few inches done on it...I don't have the cord to hook my cam up to upload pics so I had to use my phone...so bare with me...






I have 3 skeins of Cashmere/Silk lace weight from Jade Sapphir. I LOVE it. It's 400 yd a skein and i have 3 of them total in the Autumn Sonata color way...I'm hoping this is going to be a great shawl when I'm done...

If this pattern looks familiar that's because I knit this before but that one was STOLEN...yea remember those 5 wedding shawls I make...one was stolen...Had to remake it...but I'm keeping this under lock and key LOL

My friend Alan has been pestering me forever about wanting to learn to knit so I think we are going to go out later and grab some Peaches & Cream and he can go off making some washcloths...I figure thats a GREAT beginner project AND its something that he can use everyday so its not like a scarf or hat that he can only wear when the weather is chilled....Well that was my reasoning what do you think LOL. Hell I might grab a few balls myself and make some Ballband clothes for myself...those are SOOO cute!

Monday, January 28, 2008

Energy Bars anyone?

OKAY PEOPLE...WHO EATS ENERGY BARS?

I just signed up for TerraCycle and they are doing this recycling program where if you collect wrappers cliff, luna, powerbar, or natural valley they will donate .02 cents to your favorite charity...well you beter belive i signed up to raise money for the ALC...so if ANYONE eats these will you PLEASE send me your wrappers...

hit me up at theimpossibleprincess AT gmail DOT com if you would like to help me ;-)

But anyway on the knitting front. I have almost finished Icarus from 2006 Summer Enterweave...I'm on the last chart. But let me tell you kntiting 400+ stitches is killing me, on top of which you increase 4 stites on each RS row...*bleh* but its looking GREAT so far, let me find a pic of my yarn!



Its Cherry Tree Hill "Blues and Purples". I never used this before andI like it alot, so far its taking 2.5 balls...

And then if I dont have enough to knit i spoke up and took a project to knit up for a store sample for my LYS. I'm casting on the Lotus Blossum Tank from the same issue. So I guess its nice casue I get free yarn to knit it up with right LOL

oh well...Just keep knitting right?

Tis the V of November




Remember, remember, the fifth of November, gunpowder treason and plot. I see no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot. Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, 'twas his intent to blow up the King and the Parliament. Three score barrels of powder below, Poor old England to overthrow: By God's providence he was catch'd With a dark lantern and burning match. Holloa boys, holloa boys, make the bells ring. Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King! Hip hip hoorah! A penny loaf to feed the Pope. A farthing o' cheese to choke him. A pint of beer to rinse it down. A faggot of sticks to burn him. Burn him in a tub of tar. Burn him like a blazing star. Burn his body from his head. Then we'll say ol' Pope is dead. Hip hip hoorah! Hip hip hoorah!

4 months ago my lease was up in my studio. I was going to resign when some friends that I know asked if Iw anted to move into their 3 bedroom duplex...rent would be a grand total of $300 AND that included all my utilities. And since I was payinf 432 NOW I said HELL YEA....

SO I moved in and started to get comfortable. set things up how I wanted it and two months later I wake up to find a for rent sign in my front lawn. When asking the roomies what was going on they didnt answer me. So I called the landlord to find out something VERY surprising...I was paying my rent straight to her but i guess I was the only one in the house that was doing that. The other two thought it would me a beter idea to spend their money on meth....

Well the landlord knew I was paying rent so she was going to ofer that I stay in the place while I look for new roomies. And I said sure why not, that's fair. So then I came home one day to find that the washer, dryer, fridge, and stove were gone. Again no one told me that they DIDNT belong to the apt but a rommie brought them in. And since I wasnt in the mood to buy 4 new ones I decied it would be beter if I moved.

Now I have to find a new place after just moving into that place...but since school ust started everything was full or way too much for me to think about.

Then steps in another friend who offers me his place to stay until I can find a few place...WOOHOOO

I start looking for a place and around 3 weeks goes by and I'm pissed off as fuck because I'm tired as fuck being there, I'm ready to have my own place. Then I found it! a cute apt all my own, I just have to wait for the current renter to move out. That day I get asked when I thought i was going to be moving out... 3 days I reply! And we both did the happy dance, becasue we are queer like that.

Then he gets home from work and decieds he wanted to go to the bar. I wasnt up to it so i stayed in and Aryk came over....*more on him later*...and we watched a movie and he left. Around 3am friend comes home from the bar....VERY drunk. And wants to take De Vil for a walk.

He left the apt at 3:10 at 3:15 he comes up stairs WITHOUT MY DOG. When asked where my dog was he starts to fight with me telling me he is downstairs out back tied up. So I have to run to get him only to come back up stairs to him throwing my stuff into the hallway and when he sees me he runs back into his place and locks me out and hides like the likke faggot that he is.


So now half of my stuff is in the hallway and the other half is in his apt that I still havnt gotten back from him and its been 2 weeks. AND to add insult to injury I still dont have my place the renter hasnt moved out yet so im forced to bounce off peoples sofas...AND I had to put my doggie in the pet hotel so im -168 in my bank account becasue of that....

So yea...thats why I havnt blogged lately....

Happy Fucking Halloween!

Just keep knitting

After working on it off and on for 3 days I have clue one down in the books!




I'm going to crack open my Harry Potter and read some of that for a bit before I start Clue 2.

Yea I know I"m still reading my HP, but I figured I wanted to enjoy the book instead of hurrying to get it done...So far its REALLY good and I'm half way thru. I should be done with it in a few days...

Between knitting and reading and not to mention my hiking trip tomorrow I think This is going to be a VERY enjoyable weekend.

Shawl 1 down!

So I a making some shawls for a friends wedding in Dec. I started this shawl before the ride and after ALOT of frogging due to someone mis-placed ink pin...yea i know right...I lost all that work and had to start it over again, but I think its worth it...




Its just a simple vine lace pattern but i think in the cream its going to look GREAT with the brides maids dresses...

...a quick close up...



I'm a big believer that simple lace always looks elegant for any occasion.

Time to look for a new stitch and to cast on for shawl two.

New Potter

So I went to Borders to pick up my copy of Harry Potter to find out the friend I was going with was a diffrent color than i was. So my color and teacher was called and I got to the front of the line to go grab my book. This woman was standing next to me and asked if I was there alone, and I said no my friend is here but he is in back. So we started talking and she was like I'll make you a deal, I couldn't even GET a braclet to go in, if you take me in with you I will buy myself a book and you one for taking me. I was like what? and she repeated herself..I thought it thru either way I was going to get a book, if she cant get in then im buying it or she will be able to get in with me and she buys it... So I say what the hell...

Needless to say after getting her in and having a nice talk with her while we waited in line for the books she turned to me and said here...and bought me a new book mark to go with the BRAND NEW HARRY POTTER BOOK she bought me...

whats beter than a Brand New Harry Potter book? A free one! lol

She was really nice I told her she didn't have to buy me the book and she said that she had a great time talking to me about the book while we waited those 25 min in line that she would be happy to buy my copy.

Not to mention I was working on a sock during the party at Borders, I casted on there and its coming along nicely lol.

Then to add to it I got home to check my mail and I found orders from my ETSY store...

Yea a free book and money to boot.

I think that makes for a really good night.

Well folks back to my reading...LATA!
