My New Favorite Saying.

“Even if I never fell in love again, once would have been enough. Because once we have given ourselves to another, we are able to fall in love with life itself. And that can last forever.”
– Elizabeth Lesser, Broken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Us Grow

I stole that from another blog, and I can't remember which one. It's a beautiful sentiment though.

I asked my fisherman last night if he would teach me to flyfish, he said he would but that it was a commitment. I told him that I wasn't going anywhere. So, sometime in the near future, I am going fishing. I hope I don't suck at it. (don't worry, there will be pictures)

I started my 20 hour '24' sweater for the Jack Bauer KAL on Ravelry last night and by started I mean actually knit on it!!!
I am almost done with the first of my pretty in pink and purple sock. =)

My fisherman is heading up to Alaska to go fishing for a week in March, he will have a hand knit hat for this trip. He will probably get this hat next week.

Contentment

Was listening to a little Suicidal this morning and this made me happy. Like super weird happy, because, hi! it was Suicidal, not exactly shiney, happy, people singing on a bus music, but it pleased me none the less.

Also, have this strange love of the song 'Beth' by KISS. S'up wit dat?

Had my date with the fisherman this weekend, that was lovely as well.

Did absolutely no knitting yesterday. Booo to me!!

I want to be married. I do not know why.

Purple Rain

Martin does a cover of Purple Rain, that makes me all teary eyed.

Knit a little on the heel of my pretty in pink (and purple) sock. Sadly I got too sucked into Saw VI and was unable to continue knitting for fear of breaking my tooth pick like sticks.

Saturday I have a hair appointment, I got gray's, they're multiplying! Get it, from Grease... WORK WITH ME PEOPLE! anywho, am going to get the yarn for my fisherman's hat and hopefully start that at some point.

Sunday, I have a date with the fisherman, he is traveling my way to fetch me and take me out, show me a good time...so strange being woo'd like this, definatly something I am not use to as the last person to treat me like this was my ex hubby, go figure. That's actually a lie, the boy was very attentive, again something I'm not use to, still don't know why I'm running from him, I guess Lance Armstrong was right.

He says...

Son can you play me a memory, I'm not really sure how it goes, but it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete, when I wore a younger mans clothes.

Hands down the greatest lyric ever written.

Miscommunication

My fisherman & I had a bit of a miscommunication on Thursday, but we spoke Friday and are hunky dory again. We have learned that communication is key to a good relationship and that sarcasm doesn't translate well via the internets.

Tonight I start my 20 hour 24 sweater for the KAL. Have to wind a ball or 2 of yarn and get the pattern, that would help.

Am at the heel of my pair of pink socks, just a 2x2 rib with a eye of partridge heel. Nothing exciting. Will go to storage to night to get the yarn for my fisherman's hat. Hopefully he won't think it's too dorky and hopefully it'll fit, he really does have a large head.

Ok, I really got nothing else.

I Hate Myself for Loving You

Murphy's law is Hi-Sterical!

Listening to massive amounts of Tom Waits, which is not a good thing. I know this, and yet, I'll still listen to it.

Almost done with my hat, need to find a cool button, as I am not sure my Lenore pin will cut it, as it's small. I may go to Harrison's and inquire about a larger Lenore button perhaps, if not a cool button will work. Once that's complete, I'll start on my Fisherman's hat, although I'm not sure why, I doubt he'll ever get it, as we're no longer seeing each other, however, for some unknown reason, I feel I should knit it. Don't ask, I don't know.

I got the yarn for my 20 Hour 24 sweater for the Jack Bauer KAL on Ravelry. Can't wait to start that on Monday. And I even got the yarn for the Ravelmpics (Hemlock ring blanket). Yay me!!

I don't know

That has been the phrase of my week. I don't know, because, my brain is fried.
I'm tired and pissy, such a combo!

I still don't know about undoing all the squares in the log cabin blanket or if i should just undo the seaming that I've done so far and redo it, and redo it neater and more even. I have a feeling that's what I'll end up doing. I realized after my last post that I already weaved in the ends of the squares.

So, I have decided to knit a hat for Sean's big ol head. I'm not sure if he'll wear it, and oddly I'm ok with that. I think that's a good starter, hi, I'm a knitter, I will lavish you with handknits. Plus he's a fisherman and goes out in all sorts of kooky weather, it'll keep his head warm and hopefully keep him safe as well. That will be my random hat project after I finish my button hat.

For the 24 KAL have decided to really challenge myself by knitting up on my brothers cobblestone sweater. I've already lost 4 hours. That means 20 hours to knit a sweater, wish me luck!

In other news, my skin has been SO dry lately it's starting to annoy me. And before you ask, I moisturize, like a friggin crack addict I moisturize. I don't know what to do...suggestions? Maybe I'll try a mask...or a facial...ooh, that just sounds dirty.
