So I'm a very bad blogger...It's been over a month, and I had hoped that I would atleast post once a month on here...apparently my knitting hasn't really been on the up and up to keep this thing going! But I actually do have some exciting news!

First off I got invited to Ravelry !!! I'm so excited. It's so much fun...it's replaced my addiction to facebook...I am so in love. If you're on there feel free to add my my name is shera ....yes I really do love She Ra...if I could have found a costume for her I would have gone out as She Ra for Halloween...but apparently she got left in the 80's somewhere I haven't decided to leave yet hahah!

Next I got my SKP package! Some fab yarn, a cute little book, some chocolate that my boyfriend and I devouered the second it arrived! She also sent me the pattern for the cute little bag she made me! I have such an awesome SKP, seriously...! I hope the person I send packages to loves them as much as I'm loving the ones I get!

Lastly, I have taken on the task of knitting things for people. Hopefully this will force me to actually do some knitting, as I've been failing miserably...I really need those socks to be done before Christmas, or Mike's aunt is going to think I'm stupid or something...who takes a whole year to knit 2 socks?!?!?! HAHAHA! Hopefully my next pair won't take quite as long...if I ever work up the guts to do that again....

Had A Bad Day

So I've been really grouchy lately and I haven't been keeping up on my blog. I've actually finally gotten back to knitting, but everything I've been knitting is driving me insane. Either I don't understand what the pattern is asking...or I stop paying attention and loose half my stitches...I'm trying to finish my second sock...if it actually takes me a year to knit 1 pair I may have to find a new hobby ahhaah! And I'm working on something else, that I can't disclose until the SKP thing is over for fear of making my identity known. Speaking of which I need to get on my second package! OOO yarn shopping YAHOO!! I have some ideas already, so this will be fabulous fun! I'm so excited!

I was cruising around some other peoples blogs and found this cute little adopt a pet thing...so as you can see I adopted a Llama. Her name is Calpurnia, but because I changed the background colour you can't read the writing...oops....I was slightly mislead though. I was reading someone's blog...who's name escapes me...and I thought it said you can send sweaters and scarfs that you knitted with the yarn made from the adopted pet. Like little emails of pretend sweaters...anyways what she REALLY said was I wish you could......so sadly to say no one will be receiving internet knitting sweaters from me... :(

Other than that not much to report, I finally got some batteries for my camera, so I should be able to put up some fun pictures, which should make this blog a little more exciting!

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!
