It’s hard to remember everything I’ve done in the past month since my last post.
My boots arrived on Friday, finally. I love them. They’re really very stiff and it’ll take a while to break them in but they kick arse!
One of the girls from our knitting circle moved away. I’m sad. She made these for everyone:
Cass designed this big itchy “Belt Bag” that I loved. She wrote down the pattern for me and I made it. Right now, it’s Diane is putting the lining in for me because I don’t like sewing.
This is Cass’ bag. I hope mine turns out this good.
I spun up my merino/silk from Wabi Sabi:
I Navajo plied it, like in the video I posted at the beginning of the month.
I also started these socks (Dragonfly – free on Ravelry) and discovered a new way of casting on.
Check out how stretchy the cast-on is!
Here’s the how-to video:
I booked a trip to China with Jacob. Price of flights was reasonable. Thank GOD I have someone to stay with up there. It’s going to be a blast. I got my guidebook and have been scoping out all the places we’ll have time to go in two weeks. I also found A YARN SHOP in Shanghai! I can’t wait to check it out!
And last but no least, I spent my Friday night (until past midnight) at the tattoo shop (Skin Within – Loni) with my bestest buddy Tina while she got this:
Hahaha. Do you like my little black blob to hide her butt-crack?
It was a long night but totally worth it. She really appreciated that I stayed for the whole 6 hours with her. “That’s what friends are for” I told her. Now she definitely has to be there for my big one… if only money grew on trees – or I didn’t want to travel so much.
Ummmm… I also made an appointment to get another small tattoo on Friday. I guess I’ll post pics of that next weekend. Hihi.
I’m sure I’ve left out some interesting things. My brain is not functioning as well as it used to.
Oh, I’ve been extended re: the day-job thing for another month. Not sure how thrilled I am about that but it’s steady income – which is sort of a blessing at this point because I know what I can count on before China.
Today, the spinning girls are coming. I made some soup. Hope it tastes good. I kind of just shoved a whole bunch of stuff in there.
Hahaha. Exclamation marks are good!!! I use them a lot when I’m excited. I guess I have a lot to be excited about these days. I’ll make a genuine effort to post as soon as I have my new tat.
The little bunny Cass gave us is so cute. I have it on my fridge.
That tatoo Tina got looks amazing! Pass on the message.
Good soup today…and thanks for the invitation. It was great to see the spinners again.
That was a lot of exclamation marks. Sorry. 8^)
Wow! Everything is awesome! The spinning, the socks, the bag, the tat! And you’re going to China?! And you’re getting a new tat, yourself?! Can’t wait to see the pics next week. 8^)
