New Pattern: Simple Elegance

I decided that since this is a big move for me I would celebrate by giving you guys a new pattern....;-)

I have had lots of questions about the wedding shawls that I was making for a friend of mine so i figured now would be a good time to share one of them with you...

This is a pretty easy...so if you are new at lace consider this since its only 16 row repeat....I know 16 sounds long but then every other row is purl so its really only 8...:-)

Okay are you all ready...Then Lets Begin:

Simple Elegance



(Close Up)


What you need:

Yarn: I used 2 skiens of Alpaca Cloud from Knit Picks in the Sunlight Heather color way, but any lace weight will work.

Needles 5 us or 3.75 mm

Guage isn't a big thing here since you can block it out pretty easily...

NOTE: there is a 3 stitch garter stitch border that IS NOT wrote out, so be sure you knit the beginning and the ending 3 stitches each row

Cast on: 97

Work 5 rows in garter stitch.

Row 1: K1, *k2tog, K4, yo, K1, yo, ssk, K1; repeat from * till end of row

Row 2 and every other even row: Purl

Row 3: K1,* K2tog, K3, (yo,K1) twice, ssk, K1, repeat from * till end of row

Row 5: K1, *K2tog, K2, yo, K1, yo, K2, ssk, K1 repeat from * till end of row

Row 7: K1, *K2tog, (K1, yo) twice, K3, ssk, K1 repeat from * till end of row

Row 9: K1, *K2tog, yo, K1, yo, K4, ssk, K1 repeat from * till end of row

Row 11: K1, *K2tog, (K1, yo) twice, K3, ssk, K1 repeat from * till end of row

Row 13: K1, *K2tog, K2, yo, K1, yo, K2, ssk, K1 repeat from * till end of row

Row 15: K1, *K2got, K3, (yo,k1) twice, ssk, K1 repeat from * till end of row

Row 16: Purl

and repeat these 16 rows....

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

Ok START KNITTING!

And if you like this pattern all I ask is that you donate a few dollars to Aids Life Cycle. This link will be updated every year with my new cycling number so when ever you find this pattern you will be able to donate to the current ride! I myself have been fight HIV/AIDS for roughly 5 years but luckily I have never had to use any services. But others aren't that lucky...So anything you can give would be awesome! thanks.

I made it in one peice

I made it... I'mhere in San Fran and loving all of it. I was sooo freaked that I was actaully getting on a plane to com e out here but when i got off the plane and see Chave I knew that this was the right choice, if anything i can move somewhere else. But I'm working at my new store, I picked up a job doing 2 peoples books once a week...and Im knitting like a fool. Chave wants me to start selling my stuff round the city. So we are thinking up fun ideas and stuff....

funny story...

I was setting outside of our apt sipping coffee on the front steps and the car backs out of the garage and sees me fixing/reappying my makeup and she gets out and was like "Hey!"... I looked up to see what she wanted and the next words out of her mouth made me choke on the Soy Latte I was trying to sip..."I love the fact that you are doing your make up here in the street corner! I am a makeup whore *removes her sunglasses* See, I put on fake lashes just so i can get lunch...Just wanted to say that you make me happy...Lata!"

yea...thats been my week pretty much since i got here lol

Package from my Secret Pal!

SQUUUUEEEE

It came in!!!!!!

gender bender

Okay, I just had a VERY LONG discusion with agirl about why I like to wear makeup…

I told her it WASNT a gay thing, I wear it becasue I like it…which brought up the topic of gender, and I told her that gender DOES NOT determain sexual prefrence, or even that it determines what sex you are…

Gender is between your eays and sex is between your legs…And they DO NOT go hand in hand.

I know some VERY “femine” men that are 100% straight and some masc. females that are 100% straight…

GENDER is NOT what sex you are or which sex you like…

I think of myself as genderqueer or genderfluid.

I’m a boy that wears makeup, girls clothes, but im am not a drag queen, of do I want to be a girl…this is just WHO I AM…

Gender is a social standing….with out society there wouldn’t be gender.

Gender is not a box you can check, there is no black and white area when it comes to it. its all gray. It’s a spectrum baside on everyone.

your thoughts?

I leave you with the lovely xXxMichealJamesXxX

Interview on the Ave...

Okay...So as most of you know I have been moving ALOT this year...well Here I go again...

I'm moving to San Francisco...

I know, right!!!

I got back from the ride and decied I have to live there, I'm kinda tired of Indy so I booked my flight told work, which they thought I was joking itll I told them I had a store picked out and that they said it would be okay for me to transfer.

And now I'm just waiting for the 28 to get here so I can fly out.

Am I going to miss Indy, well YEA but I'm 24 and I think this is the best time to do any serious things like this. I will never know if I woul dhave liked it or not if I don't go. So deep breathe all...Thisis going to be a VERY bumpy ride!

Spending the last week with 3000 people covered in glitter, fethers, sequins, pasties, red dresses, abba playing from rest stops, dancing all over the state of california, hotties in nothing but bikini's (men and women i might add), indianapolis Pride somehow is leaving me wanting...

And to my SP:

What's your favorite summertime drink?

Well besides Ice Tea which is just fucking awesum, I LOVE Mimosas...its a great drink all day till you go to a evening party, you can lounge with them, have them for brunch...they just rock!
