The Story of a Scarf

I am doing a "Buddy Knit" with Spuds. It is the Zigzag scarf off the Lion Brand site.

We met at Hobby Lobby yesterday to get our stuff. I picked rasberry colored yarn for mine...they didn't have the new pink color dangit!......and Spuds got a green. I also threw some gadgets his way cause he's still fairly new to all this stuff. He got a row counter, some point protectors and a retractable measuring tape.

I came right home and started it. It seemed to go fast but others are assuming it is a race and are going faster!!! hehehe

I also took it to the laundry mat today. I got too caught up in one of my stories and messed up two rows. Lishy said tink. I didn't want to tink! I had a fearless moment and ripped out the needle, ripped out the two rows and inserted the needle back in ...in the space of about 20 seconds........I felt so powerful! Go me!.....Lishy said I took a deep breath first.hehehe

So tonight I have 7 zigzags finished....or would that be 4 zigs and 3 zags??????? lol

Had to stop cause my hands were starting to hurt.....moved onto crocheting a bit before heading to bed.

And.........after looking at Lishy the wonder knitter's already finished scarf...I'm gonna make mine 21 repeats. 21 being my lucky number and cause now I can say I am a third done. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Nite peeps!

Frap Buzz

Bear with me...I am still buzzing and o.d.ing on my fraps of earlier.....

I sneek up to the door and look through the peep hole...very rarely is it anyone good knocking on my door! lol

It is unique and done in the privacy of my own home!

Sure because it reminds me of myself!

I use all cuss words equally! hehehe

I always was the flirty kind!

best friends suicide and divorce in the space of 2 months.

They make me curly!

I sure hope not!

I can put something in the microwave.........it sucks to cook for one person, so I don't. lol

I really like my pink bowls. hehehehe

I eat McDonalds often! ROFLOL!

well.........yes they have! But I kindly declined!

yes I do!

I know someone who is tri-polar!

What was the last bruise on your body? That would be the mysterious bruise on my thigh....remember???

Stabbing at Starbucks!

It sounds kind of frightening doesn't it??? Don't be sceeeeeeered! It is just Lishy's S.O.'s new name for our Knitting in Public.

STAB is short for Stitch and Bitch! lol

Which Lishy, Spuds, and I did today at our local happening Starbucks!

The lady behind me doesn't look too happy.....do you think it was what we were talking about....you know I always go to the gutter!hehehe

I didn't get a picture of the other woman who was very "fond" of Spuds! lol

Lishy knitting on her lacy scarf. She got a lot done while I yacked!

I did get 10 rows of my shrug done though!

I actually watched Spuds knit this time and yes he can! He is making a hat.

I have been told that I get to pick his next knitting project....a scarf! Maybe something pink.....funfur????? Calm down! Only kidding!

And other than hanging out with friends and getting my mind off the crappy stress of the last 24 hours I observed several things....

1. They play the most stupid music at Starbucks. One minute we were listening to heart wrenching tunes, then the next we were ready to fall asleep, and then they threw in some that we could probably square dance to!

2. Coming from me who likes to go nowhere alone.....why would you go into Starbucks by yourself and look at a magazine for hours.....was it really just a yarn stalker listening in on our fun????? hehehe

3. And last but not least......This chick will never drink....I REPEAT NEVER EVER AGAIN!!!!!........more than one frap in 24 hours! OMG! I am still bouncing up and down hours later!

Now add up the total number of points.

OVER 60 POINT: Others see you as someone they should 'handle with care'. You're seen as vain, self-centered, and who is extremely dominant. Others may admire you, wishing they could be more like you, but don't always trust you, hesitating to become too deeply involved with you.

51 TO 60 POINTS: Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality, a natural leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once, so meone who takes cha nces and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.

41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting, someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding, someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.

31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you, realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over if that trust is ever broken.

21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It would really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively

or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature.

UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involve d with anyone or anything! They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don't exist. Some people think you're boring. Only those who know you well, know that you aren't.
