I keep saying that I have been sucking at the knit-blogging for every post. I have been on Ravelry quite a lot though. I should still be keeping up with my original spot though.

A lot has happened over this past year. I got a promotion at my job and I find that my life is becoming very focused on that job (which is sort of unfortunate). It's a bit stressful and I started dreaming about work, so I need to get better outlets to process that stuff.

I am behind on tooooo many to count promised knit projects. Some a year old, and yet I have managed to give out quite a lot of knit gifts recently. Don't know what my deal it.

We picked up a stray cat, which brings our family up to 6. Ruuin, was chillin on my porch for a few weeks, we started feeding her and then there was an ice storm. We HAD to bring her in, because it was cooooooold. But when we got her in she was terrified. I considered putting her back outside the next day but she didn't have front of back claws so I couldn't in good conscious let her back out there. She has been with us for five months now. Still somewhat terrified, but if you sit real still and don't look her in the eye, she might come sit next to you. The rest of the cats don't like her and she doesn't like them. But seriously, how could you turn out an animal with no claws to defend itself?

The biggest dream come true of my life happened though. This year I was final able to purchase a flat screen TV. I know some girls want a house and a family and love...all I ever wanted was a large TV. Hahahaha. (I'm joking and sort of not joking at the same time.)

47" LG50 TV
New 47" LG50 with Gears of War 2

Didn't even have it unwrapped yet and already had Gears of Wars 2 ready to go.


My dear friend Burl was on 24 these past two weeks. In case you are curious which one he was check out 24.wiki. Also check out his IMDB page. Raise his star rating up cause he is my friend.

Here is some of the stuff I have made recently. I have been home with a migraine for a couple days so this blog may not make sense but at least its blogged.

Based off of the Element Antelope Beanie

Do you still have this element beanie? I would gladly pay $$$

I believe I do but I'd have to look for it. If not I would have to recreate it. It was tight on my 22" head.
