Why haven’t I finished any of my knits? I’ve been sucked into the hype. I’m such a sucker for trends. Over on plurk there was a huge buzz about the Twilight series since the 4th book, Breaking Dawn was recently released. So many people kept saying how great the books were. I just had to check them out. I’m sooooooo glad I did. I was really caught up in the story of the first book,Twilight
and well, read it in two days. lol. Skimped on sleep just to read what happens next.
I’m currently on the second one, New Moon
, and I need to make a stop at Walmart to get the 3rd. I suppose it’s just something fun to read, to pretend that when I was a teen this could’ve happened. lol. Don’t we all just want that kind of love? Deep teenage, crazy, out of control love? I was pretty darn geeky in high school, still kinda am, so yeah I’m gonna pretend to live the main character’s life. heheh I know, it’s silly, but a girl can dream. 
I’m also wrapped up in planning a baby shower for one of my fave gal pals and it’s going crazy. I decided to take on the task of making nifty party favors. I’ll try to take some pics of me trying to crafty.

Everyone is bound to have it or have had it over and over again. What is it?? Startitis!! Yes, instead of finishing something, I’ve decided to cast on another sock. Yup. I just got utterly bored with plain stockinette socks as gifts for friends and family. Since everyone isn’t ready for the fancy stuff yet. grrr. I have quite a few more footies to do, but gosh I really needed something to tantalize my finger.
The Spring Forward sock pattern was just the thing! It looks pretty fancy and turns out to be a simple knit. Definitely give it a whirl if you have the chance.
I was able to try out my “rustic rose” colorway. But I’m rethinking to call it something watermelony…ehh?

Getting back in sync with my love. You guessed it, socks!! I finally finished the Pomatomus. Will I knit that pattern again? Not anytime soon. I really love the result but for some reason I was in a slump after finishing up the first one.
Yarn: Schaefer Ann
I’m also happy to report that my lil’ wee cousin will be getting her socks. But I have to wait and knit up footies for her brothers too so they don’t feel left out. One pair down, two more to go…
Yarn: SWTC Tofutsies
The jumbleness of two at a time. I really need to crank out gifts and this way I’m sure to finish both socks and they fit the same. yay!! This is my first try at knitting from both ends, yeah, messy, messy, but I think I’ve figured it out.

Happy Hump Day!!

It’s that time once again. Another contest!!! In celebration of turning another older and becoming another year knit-wiser.
Let’s have a simple contest. I want to know what interests you. Post of link of something you love/like/enjoy and the winner will be randomly chosen from the comments. Simple as a 5 layer cake? And the prize? It’ll be fun stuff and of course a fabulous skein of sock yarn.
Here’s something I love. GREEN. I have always been infatuated with all shades of green. I am drawn to the aspects of green in nature. Something about a beautiful landscape photo just takes my breath away.
Less than 12 hours and I’m officially a year older…

Just thought I’d post about my weird randomness obsession. I had to make a quick run to Target today after work because we are having a party and i needed to pick up some mini gifts. Anywho, that’s not really important right now. So here are my weird quirks. I love pens!! I want to try new ones when they come out. So of course I was a sucker and bought these…
The idea behind them seemed cool. They are pens and they are erasable. Ummm yeah, not quite erasable. They still leave a pretty good impression behind and a faded tinge of color. Oh well… off to pout about that… ETA: okay I’m a dumbo, the nuby tips at the end of the pens actually do erase the ink well. so yeah, forget my crazy comments.
Speaking of pouts. Here’s another gimmicky thing that suckered me. I bought this because the packaging was just so silly.
Does it work? Yeah, it plumps up your lips quick and then they deflate a little later. So was it worth $10 ehhh dunno, I’m just a crazy gal.
And I had to by this:
because my deco tapes needed a home and for some reason my other scotch dispenser was not a good fit. I think I needed the middle thingy to go into the deco tape’s center. ehhh it works and I’m happy to show off this…
A final note. I love Swedish Fish. They are soooo addicting. Really bad for your teeth since they stick like crazy but oh so yum!!
oh wait, almost forgot…I don’t really love milk, I’m actually kinda lactose intolerant. But this was just too cute. An I love Milk coin purse.
That’s all the quirkiness for now. I hope everyone has a great week. Oh and yeah Plurk has kinda take over a part of my life. Some come be my friend. I’m still a bit lonely.
