Ok. So let me start this thing out by giving a couple shout outs. You’ll have to forgive me, because since I haven’t blogged for 12 years, I might have forgotten how to link, download photos, etc. My buddy Scout (woo woo!) paid for my subscription to keep this thing running because she won the lottery and is a nice girl. Well, ok, so she didn’t win the lottery. Secondly, thanks to all the emails I got wondering if I was going to ever blog again. It’s time.
I told myself for a while that I would when I was ready. Truthfully though, I didn’t know if I’d ever be ready. I wanted to quit. I wanted to close a chapter, or be done with it for some reason. But it’s good for me. I get to share, vent, stalk, lie, be honest, cause trouble, shout-out to companies, yarn friends, yarn fiends, and make friends. And I’m thinkin’ I’m on the verge of making a few more friends. Don’t ask, it’s a HP kinda thing. Where ma people at???!?!??!
I bought a scale the other day. Why? Because I’ve started weighing crack. This kind of crack, you silly privacy-invading DEA boobs:
It’s alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the Sock Blankie’s fault. I saw it on someone’s flickr page and I went ballistic, for some reason. It’s like, “oh my GOD. I finally have a reason to use up all that damn sock yarn.” So I am. I just hope it doesn’t end up being some ritualistic burn thing I need to do when it’s all over. Chant with me, “cuddly warm blankie. cuddly warm blankie.” That’s right. Ahhhhhh.. You have to weigh these little “5 gram minis” and swap them with other like-minded crack whores. That’s right, I said it.
I’ve even joined a couple “Blankie Madness” groups over on Ravelry, which specialize in tormenting enabling enriching my life. I’ll post the progress as I go, but for now:

It’s coming along. I thought I’d want to shoot my eye out after one or two squares, but alas. No such luck.
The other things I’ve been doing lately?
-Vogue Knitting. (wait til you see what we’ve been planning. You’ll die. well, not “die”, but…)
-Tahki Stacy Charles I’ve been with them the last two seasons, did some of my best work so far (within the constraints one is given with a yarn company), and now I’ve moved on.
-Irina Shabayeva If you watch the video, or see the images, I did all the chunky knits in the show for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week F/W 2010. Thrilling. My buddy Josh did the other AMAZING intarsia wing pieces. Check it.
And working on my own collection, too. It’s been a busy busy busy couple years. But I think this is enough for now. I’m kinda looking forward to writing here again. Again, thank you to all you guys who want me to continue this - bring it on. Love.
xoxo
