WTF … and pictures
September 3, 2007 7:50 pmIt is September. That is amazing. Where is the time going? (rhetorical question !!!)Okay here are some of the pictures that I promised the other day.First up is the Cadenza sweater. I have finished the first arm and am working on the front bands. Initially I had picked up the stitches for the front band but was not pleased with the effect. Now, I think that it is a sign of my older age as I was willing to rip it out just to make it what I want it to be. Either that, or I am just picky…
A close up of the sleeve. Seed Stitch along the edges. I think that it changes the look of the yarn. This is scene better on the new front bands that I don’t have pictures of yet.
Next up is the MDID Sweater. I ran out of yarn for the collar/neckline so the edges are a bit puckered. That part didn’t please me. I blocked some of it out. However, it has become my favorite “its cool this morning and I want something comfy” sweater. I love the way that Lorna’s washes up and how it feels. It seems to get softer as I wear it. This picture isn’t true to color. They are richer but I like this shot. New to the Blog: WTF?I am finding more and more things that make me go “hmmmm” these days. Maybe I am more cynical. Perhaps its the lack of sleep. Or maybe I am tired of bullshit. I am becoming a bit more picky about where I am spending my time and trying to put myself in only positive places. I need it around me. I am there for everyone else if they need it and I am finding that I am not wanting to only be around “takers”. Rather, I am looking to surround myself with people/situations that at the very least offer something back. This may sound rude, mean, and selfish. Too bad. Those who know me, know what is going on are the one’s I want around me. The one’s who can put up with me and still love me. The one’s who know I am weird, dorky and a spaz and still don’t get fed up with me. In return, I give them all the same. Wow. Lots said for saying nothing.
I have been sleeping a bit. Yes still drug induced. I tried last night with nothing and was up most of the night. I had a dream that I was in a horror movie like situation. A woman tried to kill me. She had already killed someone else. I was able to escape to the neighbors house to get help. The dream was one of those that kept going even when I woke up and fell back into the non-existent sleep pattern. So tonight its drugs again (Sara, I’ll get some of what you suggested this week). Then I tried to nap today and dreamt that Ralph, Cameron and I were at the new zoo display and someone tried to kill the handler of the elephants. Then the rhino’s came out and faught with the baby elephant. Totally weird and fucked up I tell you.Then there was coffee today … Now this is a real WTF. It is SEPTEMBER people. Not even the END of September. It’s the BEGINNING. School hasn’t even fully started yet. And look what I got this morning…
I was blown away. Seriously. And this just made me laugh. I love when kids play with the signs….

you make me smile, and that’s why I love you! Does that mean that I too am weird, dorky and a spaz?? meh, so what - no one ever said normal was fun. Love the cadenza - I can’t wait to cast on the glorious *red* you talked me into buying - but I’m trying to finish the mini-me hoody first, just like my teacher told me to do!
Sandy! You know I adore you. Yes even your SPAZ nature. I think it is a kindred spirit thingy we have going. And I can’t wait to see how the knitting is going …
Hahahahahaha! I love the signs. There is one by my house that says peepee midgets. OMG I laugh everytime I see it. Oh and another one that just says FARTS. God I am a 15 year old boy aren’t I?
I love you crazy and all.
RED you-know-what, FARTS, peepee midgets… Where do you two live?

Karen, are you ok with the peepee midgets? Should I come over? I could have this all taken care of in a whisper or two.
Morgan, I hope you find a pill or combination thereof that help with the sleeping and don’t give you nightmares. Those nightmares of yours sound terrible.
If you try the melatonin I would suggest starting with half a pill. Otherwise they can give some people strange dreams. You certainly don’t need help in that area.
good luck and sweet dreams.
It is all because of the cadenza…There I was merrily knitting away at the sleeve of the mini-me hoody when I was overcome with a creative urge to do ’something else.’ Something new, something colourful, something amazing, something dare I say, Morgan-worthy. I fondled the glorious red cadenza and thought,no - it’s gotta wait. But in the mean time, it seemed like a great idea to start my very first felted bag!! Of course! In a beautiful gunmetal grey… but this only led to me thinking about vintage buttons to use as closures. Which subsequently lead to ebay, which then led me to vintage fabrics and retro designs for linings…which led to sari silk and kimono fabrics…Did I mention this was my first felted bag ever?? Anyways, the knitting is going fine. The hoody may take a while yet, as my ADD brain is going off on another tangent.
(sorry, I don’t blog, but I have been known to do an occasional blog-jacking…)
OMG you guys crack me up!! Sandy you are a riot!! I look forward to seeing the bag!! And yes … that Cadenza is going to be STUNNING on you. Go girl Go. I will have your Yarn Addict card the next time we meet.
Karen … glad to know I am not the only one.
And Sara … umm You need to look around more … the Chinese restaurant by the Dairy Queen on Elbow has a sign that the kids screw around with too … the last time it said “tasty c*nt” (yes insert the U there) I almost peeeeeee’d. Okay. I did. A little. I was laughing so hard.
