Splish Splash

Well, although I haven't posted in awhile, a LOT has happened!
First off I would like to say that I received my SKP package, and it was AMAZING, I never did end up taking a picture, but she sent me knitting staples, such as a little notebook, 2 perdy pens, some star stickers which I am in LOVE with, some gum...always a bonus, some little crackers to give you some energy when you've knitting through dinner, and lastly she knitting me a lovely bag, perfect to hold all my needles. THANK YOU SKP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Secondly, I finished my first sock...or I should say my Nana knitting while I watched and learned. Needless to say it's done, and I've started on the second one...I may be done by Christmas, 1 year for a pair of socks...wow that's really sad HAHAH!
Thirdly, I've been unwinding some skeins of yarn I bought, and what a mess I made of one of them. I wasn't paying attention and in about 30 seconds it turned into the largest knot I have EVER seen! I have pictures so I'll post them when I get home...or wait maybe I won't...those disapeared with my memory card...oooooooooooooops, I'll have to wait till my brother actually makes me a CD of all those pictures...(it was really his memory card). Anyways after about 6 hours of de-knotting, and the help of my mother and Nana, I finally finished. Wow I will never let that happen AGAIN.
And last but not least, I have joined to waiting list for Ravelry...I'm not sure how patient I am, seeing as I am person 21151, with 12583 people waiting infront of me. Their blog said they add 1200 people a week, so at this rate I've got atleast 10 weeks to go...so hopefully they'll open up the whole site before that! WOO, that should be another place to which I will become rediculously addicted....oh well!

Work has been picking up which is AWESOME! I saw 4 clients on Tuesday, which is my new record, there would have been 5 but one of them canceled, and moved to today. Oh well, now my day today will be a little busier! Mike's doing fabulous at work, and loving every minute of it, which is great! We went home to visit family on the weekend, and about killed myself tubing, but it was worth every little bruise! Life in general is pretty fabulous. This is the first time in a long time I really don't have anything to complain about! WOOO...

...it's rather gloomy outside, I keep waiting for a rainbow, but that never seems to happen. There is however a giant puddle outside which is rather tempting...but I'm wearing jeans, and one of my favorite pairs of shoes, so I don't think anything will come of it!

Going Going Gone

After procrastinating a bit, and then a little more, and even a bit more after that, I have finally sent off my SKP's package. I hope it arrives safely...it would be so disapointing to find out it got lost in the mail....but that's just my luck. Hopefully my SKP's luck is better than mine!

I still haven't recieved anything, and i'm a little saddened...but seeing as I just sent off mine, I'm not TOO worried!

Life has been pretty hectic. Not as much free time anymore. This weekend is going to be a little crazy, but I'm looking forward to it none the less. I'm a little disapointed that I have to miss Pink Sugar's Grand Opening, but I know it will be fabulous without me! My Great Uncles surprise birthday party is this weekend, so I am off to some lake I've never heard of for Saturday Night, then back to Calgary Sunday morning to check out Kensington's Sun and Salsa Festival! I can't wait to see all of Katie's clothes up on stage!!!! Then Sunday night is Janelle's BDay partay, although she doesn't seem as excited as I am HAHA!.....I LOVE a good PARTY!!!

Well that's all for now...must get back to my oh so busy day at work.....

Blustery Day

The weather outside has finally cooled down, thankfully! I actually slept all night last night with out having to go get an icepack from the freezer to cool me down! I'm sitting at work, wondering what I should buy with my paycheck! So many things, and sadly not nearly enough money!!!!

I still haven't sent out my Knitting Package, but I WILL do it, I just need one more thing to add and I can't figure out what it should be...I have a couple ideas, but nothing seems to be exactly what I'm looking for, maybe I'm just TOO picky! HAHA!

A few friends and I went out on Friday, it was my first somewhat Stampede experience, and I had SO MUCH FUN!! In the end I was the only one awake, and left to play some Wii by myself, but I finally got to try play it which was so worth playing Mario Party by myself...!

Mike and I went and saw Transformers last night! It was SOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!! It was just the right amount of comedy, with just the right amount of huge things blowing up!!! I was super impressed, as I thought it was going to be a rather bad movie! Everyone should go see it ASAP! It was the one time we went to our movie theatre and there were more than 5 couples in the theatre!

I still haven't been knitting, but I will get on it hopefully soon, I've been so incredibly busy that I barely have time to do dishes, much less sit back and knit! I NEED to finish those socks! I'll take a picture tonight, and post my progress...they're toeless and I just want to be finished ONE!

Well I should get back to looking busy!

Need Some Sugar

So I'm bored at work, although I've only been here an hour! If you happen to be as bored as I am, but are lucky enough NOT to be at work, you should come stop by the store!!! Pink Sugar I would love to sell ya something! Better yet you should come get a massage from me this afternoon at Optimum Wellness Centre, because I'm that cool! Wow talk about self promoting...I should stop before this whole message becomes about me and my current jobs...oh wait it already is...

As for the knitting part of my life, I've been neglecting everything. I still need to find a few more things for my package, and I haven't even picked up my needles in 2 weeks. I haven't been this busy in a very long time. I guess I haven't had much of a social life in awhile, I was a little bit of a hermit! Needless to say, hopefully I'll get back on track next week, take my knitting to work! Keep me entertained so I'm not super bored all day!

For My Pal

I went shopping for my Secret Knitting Pal on Saturday and couldn't believe how much stuff I got for only 20$. It was really smart to save shopping till Make One's big yarn sale! I also spent way to much money on myself, considering I'm pretty much broke haha! I just need to add some personal touches to the package and I'll be off to the post office to send her off! I can't wait to send it, but even more so I can't wait to get mine in the mail!!!!! I'd take a picture of what I bought, but I don't want to spoil the surprise for my Pal! I did however get a new case for all my little gadgets as the other one I had broke and now spills everywhere! This one is SO nice, I'll take a picture of it for sure, but the yarn and such will have to remain a mystery for another 6 months, and so will the project I decided to start, because I kind of ties in with what I bought my Pal!

I'm at work right now, and it's rediculously boring...I have a client in an hour, but all I can think about is eating...I'd be mad that he's invading my lunch hour, but this will help with the bills ahah!

Well I'm off to put my sheets in the dryer! I'm impressed 2 posts within a week! Hopefully I'll keep this up!

Forget Me Not

Well, I've already forgotten about my blog, and it's only been a month! I guess I haven't been knitting so that might be why.
I got to the toe of my socks and got rediculously confused, so I gave up temporarily, until I return to knit night at Make One and get a little help. I was going to take pictures of all my UFO's, but somehow they look wierd in picture form so I figured I'd wait until I finally finish them!
There's a sale at Make One tomorrow, so I think I'm going to go buy some stuff for my Secret Knitting Pal. I don't want her to feel like I've forgotten about her! Just been low on cash, and time. Hopefully I'll find some unique things there, and I'll send my package on it's way!
I think I might also knit that elephant pattern I have listed. I have some blue and white yarn that I think would work well, and it'll give me a break from my socks, but keep me moving forward. Then I think I'll give it to Monkey, Paul's kitty, as a little toy, maybe I can even throw in a little cat nip! That cat is a riot, I'm sure she'd love it!

The Beginning

Well today is the beginning of a new blog. I have started many before, so hopefully this will last longer than the rest. Although this will be mostly for displaying my knitting, I'll throw in some daily nonsence about my everyday life. Seeing as work is really slow right now, I'll probably be posting quite frequently in the beginning, things may slow down as I proceed. I'm excited to go home and take pictures of everything and post them on here asap. Hopefully this won't soon consume my life, although I already know it will hahaha!
Things should be starting up shortly so enjoy!
