Longer Post This Time

Thanks for all of the comments. I'm glad everyone seems to like what I'm working on right now. I finally got brave and put the yarn I dyed onto my Etsy shop. You have my special permission to go and check it out. Lazy me, I didn't take new pics, but they look ok. Now, I just need to take pics of my bracelets and put them on there, too. I had to put the yarn on etsy, because I started with 10 skeins of sock yarn for the shop, but....well....I posted 7. The other ones got used, for gifts, and maybe a little for me, too.


You wouldn't believe how fast this photo loaded. Haha, I was just talking to my hubby about flicker or photobucket. I'm going to look into one of those. All ya'll keep saying they're better than blogger for the pics, so, I guess I could listen to you more experienced, wiser people. I seem to have better luck at night with Blogger. It could be that I'm not surrounded by screaming children who run around like crazy animals. I can concentrate a lot better when it's not deafening in here.

Here are a couple of garterlac dishcloths, and one ninepatch dishrag. I crocheted around the edges of the garterlacs, and I'm going to do it to the ninepatch, too.
The little change purse with it's too big zipper is in there. Then, there is the photo with more cotton! I do have more dishcloths planned. The plain colors are for a Born to Knit and a Yarn Girl one, at least. Whimsical wrote those and a bunch of other neato patterns.
So, LD had her best best friend over today. She was here for a little longer than expected. Then, tonight, we had a meet the teacher thing at the elementary school. It was really fun to see everyone that we haven't seen all summer. (and not so fun seeing some other people) We met the 2nd grade teacher she'll have, and the new music teacher. I'm so glad school's starting, but also a little sad, because we have to get back on a schedule. This has been the most lazy, do-whatever-we-want summer that we've had in a while. Fun, but now we are in trouble. We have to get used to getting to bed earlier, and getting up earlier! Especially the boys. They got away with way too much this summer. Staying up late, and watching movies and playing video games. No more. School starts in 5 days, or something. Next Tuesday, the 5th. Wow!

I wanted to let you know I am now a member of the knitter's review blogring. Check out the link, if you want to check out some blogs you might not have seen before. It's right above the Michigan Knits blogring on the left of the screen. Well, I have to go see what other bloggers have written and go to bed!

Knit on!

Etsy update

I finally updated my Etsy Shop! Click link! More posting later!

What I did yesterday.

Ok, guys, apparently I look young!! Woohoo! No one has mistaken me for Jordan's sister in a long time. I love the look on people's faces when they hear I have two teenagers. Let me tell ya, I am not advising anyone to have a baby when they are 16. I know how lucky I am that I got to finish high school, and I'm not homeless, or something. The best thing my mom ever did for me was to make me go back to school, and to watch baby SkaterPunk so that I could. What's kind-of funny is that he is older now, than I was when he was born. I let my kids know that no grandbabies are allowed until I'm at least 50. Of course, SP said, "Do you know I'll be 34 then?" haha. Good!


Yay! Blogger finally let me put my picture in! This is what I did yesterday (in between loads of laundry). Three kids = lots of laundry. I also finished another garterlac dishcloth, and started a ninepatch dishrag. I can't seem to find a link to it now, though. Darn it!

I took some fat, gushy worsted weight wool, and poured rainbow colors of Kool-aid all over it. It was sorta hard to make myself do it randomly. I have a bunch of striped sock yarn, and even when I hand dye non-striping yarn, I find myself making patterns with the colors. This time, though, I was very random, and it looks pretty cool, if I do say so myself!

I might stick it in my Etsy shop for a while, and if it doesn't sell, then I'll make myself knit something with it. Haha, yeah, I'll force myself to. I know this wool felts pretty well, so we'll see what I do with it.

I was outside today, in my jammies, taking pics of yarn. My neighbors love me. hehe. They really do. Luckily for us, they are really old, one of them is past 90, so they don't know how loud and annoying we really are.

I'm so lazy, I have 8 or 9 skeins of sock yarn ready to go, all I have to do is list them on Etsy. I need to do it, so that when they sell I can buy new yarn. Why don't I just get off my butt and do it, then? Good question!

Guess I'll go do something productive. Like go read and blab on knitter's review!

Book Meme

Hi, guys, thanks for the nice comments about my hair. One funny thing about the snobby people, my hair wasn't even pink, yet. Haha. It was "naturalish" reddish brown. These people have known me my whole life, anyway. They are just rude, sometimes I don't even think they realize it. But, you guys, are too nice, saying I don't look old. Amy, I've seen your pics on your blog, and, there's no way I look younger than you! I was born in 1973, so even though I feel like I'm still 16, I really am 32, and will be 33 soon!


Book Meme
I was tagged by Gina from It seemed like a good idea at the time. Isn't that cool? I've never been tagged before. Ok, so let's go:

1. One book that changed your life: Dave Pelzer's : A Child Called It. I don't know about changed, but certainly affected. Every time I feel sorry for myself, or something I try to remind myself that he actually went through hell, and still became a good man.

2. One book that you've read more than once: William Shakespeare-Four Tragedies(Romeo&Juliet, Macbeth, Hamlet, and Julius Caesar in one really old book)(actually every book I really like I read again and again)

3. One book you'd want on a desert island: Only One?? How To Find Food (and yarn) On A Desert Island. hahaha

4. One book that made you laugh: Gingersnaps by Delorys Welch-Tyson

5. One book that made you cry: Lost Boys by Orson Scott Card (scary)(not the vampire story lost boys a different story)

6. One book that you wish had been written: How To Get Rich Just Sitting Here Knitting For Fun.

7. One book you wish had never been written: Any book that's full of hate. Like some bad nasty nazibooks or something. Our world doesn't need any more hate in it!

8. One book you're currently reading: Crime Brulee by Nancy Fairbanks--I don't know if I like it yet.

9. One book you've been meaning to read: Wuthering Heights or maybe some important spiritual book. I've tried to read some, but I like to be entertained too much, and get bored. Shame on me.

10. Tag 6 people:Adriane, Crafty Fox, Stacey, Terri D., Whimsical, Zippiknits,
If you don't have time, or don't feel like it, don't feel bad, guys. Let me know if you play along, though, because I'd like to read your answers!!

I read books that I like, mysteries, novels, teen books, plays, whatever. I know I should read more important literature, but I probably won't; so there!!

Well, off to a b-day party. I have to finish the scarf I'm knitting for the gift, on the way there. It's almost done. I took pics of it last night, but stupid blogger won't let me post them. Even though they don't look great, I'll try again later.

Man, we're going to be late if I don't get going! I have to speed knit in the car!! Knit on!

Just Call Me Pinkie!

I really hate pictures of myself. I look sooooooo old and tired and pale in these. Darn new camera sure can capture those wrinkles! Maybe I just need a nap. Whimsical: it's so cool that your son does your tats. You could save quite a bit of $ that way. Of course, if you average out how many years you'll have the tattoo, it really isn't that expensive, right? I am the queen of rationalizing. Rationalization? Whatever!

I hope this post works, blogger seems to be acting up again. I am having a crappy day. The kids are being horrible. They seem to get this way every year right before school starts. Maybe it's nerves. I don't know, but I hate it. I was also snubbed by some people who live here in Snobsville. I hate feeling like it's 5th grade all over again, and the other kids are all being invited somewhere fun, and the inviter says "Sorry, Arleta, I could only ask 8 people, and you're the 9th." Blah! Jerks!

Sorry for that whine. My feelings are hurt, and apparently I'm old, tired, and pale! I think I need to go find some soft gushy yarn to knit with, or just wrap myself in!

Hope you guys are all having a better day than I am! The weekend better shape up into something nice, too! Or else!

p.s. I almost forgot: I was tagged for a meme, I'll do it and post sometime soon!!

Let's Talk about Knits, Babee.

Hey guys, Thanks for the comments. You bet I'll post a pic of my hair when it's done. I actually did a little yesterday, but it barely shows up, so I'll have to bleach the streaks in, and then dye them pink. I just need to get one of those caps with the holes in it, and I'm all set. I'll just use some of hubby's hair bleach. He is a (bottle) blond. It's just hair, it'll grow out. Well, mine will, hubby's is another story.

So, here's my knitting from yesterday. I'm still doing dishcloths, but I tried this Lion Brand Landscapes yarn. It's half wool; half acrylic, and it says on the label that it felts in the washer and dryer. Sorry my pics are so bad. It's all my fault, the camera is awesome, but the photographer kind of stinks.

The first pic is while I was knitting, the second is before I felted it. I forgot to measure it, though! The last pic is after I felted it in the sink with hot boiling water, and one sink of cold ice water. It's a good thing that I didn't just throw it into the laundry like I was going to, because the dye in this yarn ran like crazy! The water turned a really dark green. Pretty color, but I would have been really mad if it had run on my laundry.

It did shrink some I think it was close to 6-7 inches before I felted it. You can, of course, see the acrylic stitches, but the wool part of the yarn melded all together nicely. Does that make sense? The yarn was weird, almost like it was barely spun, or something.

The finished coinpurse will have a zipper, and it measures about 4 and 3/4 inches square. I wish I had remembered to measure it before felting, but I was just so excited to start, that I threw it in the sink, and went at it.

I really need to start practicing with my new camera. It takes great pictures for everyone else. I want to be a great photographer. Darn it! I'd even like to be a good photographer. Then I could do Eye Candy Friday, like on Purly Whites. I think it's a great idea. It would get me some practice, too.

I sent Marj a package yesterday. I hope she likes it.

Well, a motley post, huh? I have teenagers running all over the house making noise, so I guess I'll go knit some more on my dishcloth. At least that won't take a lot of concentration!!

I have a camera! (in a sing-song voice)

Thanks again for all of the anniversary wishes. It's so nice to hear from everyone! A few of you said your anniversaries are this week, too. So, happy anniversary to you guys, too!!

Yeah, Diamond Dave was really cool. He did a bunch of kicks. It was neat. My hubby, Donnie, saw him like 18 yrs. ago, and he said he doesn't get as high off the ground now, but geeze, who does? Terri, he did do Jump. Love that song!! Don't be jealous, though, because we hardly ever go anywhere. Especially without the kids!


I got the link to make this funny pic from Terri's blog. That's my dishcloth on there!! Isn't that funny? I took that bad pic with my really old digital camera. Go look at her photo when you're done here. It's really good.

Well, my good digital was broken. It wasn't the stupid battery, I guess it just got dropped a few too many times. My honey surprised me with a new camera today. (The actual anniversary). Poor guy. I'm broke, so you know, no gift from the store for him.

A couple more dishcloths. Photo with new camera. Yay!




Then, my oldest son, my little (6 foot something) SkaterPunk went shopping with his girlfriend,
and her mom the other day. He bought me a giftie. I've been wanting some really cool pink hair dye, and he got it for me. Wasn't that sweet? His girlfriend's mom already thinks I'm weird. I was 16 when I had him. She was 36 when she had her. She's really very nice, now that she's used to my age. At first she thought I was probably out partying or something, because at 32, she was! Now she knows I'm a boring homebody. I'm going to be a boring homebody with pink streaks in my hair, though!! It's called Candy Pink. Hehehe


I also took a picture of the gifties I have for Larj Marj. I already told ya'll how I took all of the names of everyone who commented on the day I got my 100th comment, and then I dropped them in front of my fan, and the one that went the farthest was Marj's. It went really far, too. It was weird. I won't show that pic yet, though. I'm going to send the gifties out tomorrow, and I don't want to ruin the surprise if she reads this.

So, I guess I've babbled on long enough tonight. It's late, and I'm going to bed. After I knit a little anyway!! I started a little change purse with some Lion Brand Landscapes. I hope it felts, it says it will on the label. I got it for half price, so if it doesn't work, oh well. $3 down the drain is a lot better than $6 lost, right? I have a couple of dishcloths going too. I can't seem to stay away from them.
Knit on Knitters!!

Diamond Dave, Donnie, and a Dishcloth

Thank you to everyone for the sweet comments about my wedding anniversary. Thanks, Larj Marj for saying I look like Laura San Giacomo. She's beautiful! It's funny how white I look in that picture! I sure don't remember being that white, especially in the summer. I don't exactly worship the sun, but I get pretty dark in the summer. Dad's genes and all that.


My honey and I went out of town on Friday, and came home Sunday. Man, I wish I'd have had my camera working. My dishcloth would have liked to have had his picture taken at the David Lee Roth concert. It was so much fun. He really put on a great show! We had (cheap) lawn seats, that were actually pretty good, but then when the warm up band was done, and the rich people seats weren't full, we got to move up and sit (who sits at a concert?) in real seats. The warm up band was Ashes to Soma, or Ashes of Soma. Either way, they were good. Here's how eclectic our music tastes are: For my B-day last year, hubby took me to Naughty by Nature. Rap. Yeah, I listen to it all!! N.byN. was the kind of music my friends and I listened to in jr. and sr. high. My best friend was there, too, and Lisa and I were right up in front of the stage at that one!!


So, we stayed at a hotel. It was so wonderful to be able to sleep without the dog cramping my legs at the foot of the bed, and then to get up and not have to wait on other people(kids). They were at their Granny's for the weekend. On Saturday, hubby and I were going to go to the mall. But, we ended up at this little historical village. It's called Olde World Canterbury Village. Full of antique stained glass windows, and wooden doors, and artifacts. There's a castle (restaurant) and a store called Always Christmas. There are little shops that were buildings of the original farm. They are going to have a festival there with spinners. Yarn--yummy! They have an empty store that could be a yarn shop. There could be a spinning wheel demo, and they could sell the spun stuff, and have knitting going on. Oh, and dyeing the wool in the old way, like with natural dyes!! That would be so cool.

I tried to put up an awful pic of my awesome garterlac dishcloth right here. I guess Blogger is being dumb now. The pic of DLR worked, now I can't add my knitting pic! I've tried a bunch of times! I'll try again tomorrow. Well, if you've gotten this far, you know there is something to look forward to!!


I love this pattern. I finished one on our trip this weekend, and started another one. It was fun knitting in the car. My hubby, Donnie and I talked and listened to music, and he even pointed out other knitters in other cars. I used Sugar 'N Cream in Rosewood. I'd call it Neapolitan. It looks like the ice cream to me. That's one of the things I like about this cotton yarn: the colors. I have so many different colored dishcloths. I'm doing one right now in Summer Splash, it's bright bright green, blue, and yellow. I keep thinking of knitting a bunch of these squares in the garterlac pattern, and joining them together for a blanket. That would be cute!

Well, time to go do some housework. I think knitting dishcloths could count for housework, you know, you need them to do dishes. Right?

Happy Anniversary, Honey!!

It's not until Tuesday, really, but since we'll be celebrating this weekend; I'll share our wedding photo. Fourteen years. Weren't we cute? Just babies, really. I was 18, and he was 20. Man, time flies, right? Oh, yes we do have a 16yr old. He was at the wedding. He wore a little tux just like his daddy's. Very cute. Modern family, and all.

My knitting is beyond boring right now. I keep picking one thing up, knitting a little, then picking something else up, and knitting a little. I just started this dishcloth, and I also got some Sugar n' Cream for this and this. Great free patterns. Check 'em out.

OK, so, I took all of the names from the comments on August 7th. That's the day I got my 100th comment. I put each name on a scrap of paper, same size, etc. Then, I dropped them all in front of the fan, and the one that blew the farthest was declared a winner!! I'm going to do some snooping and come up with some little prize for her. Figure out some little thing. I'll have to go snoop around her blog!!

Well, back to my dishcloth. Hope everyone is knitting happily!! 'Til next week!!!!

Happy knitting! Later....after some rest and after that darn paper work problem is solved!

Felted bags and stuff--lots of stuff

First of all: Thanks everyone for the kind words about my Clapotis.
Roo-bee-faye: You're right; some jerkface keeps putting stupid make money comments on my blog. I think I finally fixed them, though. We'll see. By the way, what happened to your blog? If you deleted it, or something I think it's been blog-jacked. When I try to see it, I'm sent to some advertising place. I'm sorry for putting this here, but I can't figure out another way to get ahold of you. I miss your blog!

Ok, now. Knitting. I want to do a contest for all of you wonderful knitters. I got my 100th comment the other day. Not counting the jerky spam comments. I think what I'll do, is take the names of the commenters from the day I got my 100th, and randomly pick one, then I'll send the winner a little knitty prize. Nothing too big, because I'm poor. I just think it's so neat that you like my blah-blah-blah. Even though, since I started this blog, I've been pretty boring on the knitting front. So, I'm going to do that, and then I'll let y'all know. OK? OK!


I have some pretty knitting pictures to share with ya'll. Actually, the first one is crocheted, and then felted. I can do that, too. (Crochet) I just don't very much. It seems to take more yarn, but it is faster. For me, anyway. This is a little handbag I made for myself. It is out of LB Fisherman's wool, that I dyed with kool-ade. The purple stuff in the foreground of the picture is the lining fabric, and the zipper. I use this one quite a bit.

These four bags are just some that I knitted, and felted, then they were either given away as holiday gifts, or I sold them. It's all LB Fisherman's wool, dyed with kool-ade, with really old buttons on the flaps. I didn't really use patterns, I just knitted in the round until I got a size and shape I thought would look good, then I felted them in the washer and stuck them on boxes to dry. Very technical.

So, I am going to be pretty busy the rest of the week. I finished up the charity cloths, and I have to deliver them. I actually did a few rounds on my hedera-like sock yesterday. I have some crazy paperwork that is all messed up, and I've been on the phone a lot trying to fix it. Then, the relay for life thing is this weekend. I'll be painting faces, and walking, and whatever else. I hope to get a battery for my camera before then because I really want pictures.

So, as soon as I get all of my she-ee-it together, I'll have a little prize for someone. Have a great weekend--if I don't get to post again-til next week!!

It's Monday--Already?!

Thanks for the comments. Everyone seems to like the MI pictures. The sunset one was taken by my MIL. The colors that night were amazing! As to Marji's question: Yes, we have climbed all of the way to Lake Michigan. It is quite a trek! Then, there is Pierce Stocking Drive, and the Cottonwood Trail, and of course, Old Indian Trail. We do them all. You'd think we'd be in better shape!

What a lazy weekend. We didn't do much at all. I finished three dishcloths for a charity event coming up next weekend. Cleaned out the car, while the couch covers and the dog bed washed. That was about it. So, today, I have a ton of catching up to do. Five people in the house makes for a lot of laundry and dishes. LD just washed the cups, plates, and bowls. She's blasting my 80's cd. It's so cute to see her sing along to The Gogos and The Bangles and Heart. I could go on & on.

I counted my comments, and I have 96. I think that is just amazing. I know there are bloggers who have that many in less than a week, but I'm just a babbling knitter, who can't believe people actually want to read what I go on about. I'm thinking of a contest, or something, having to do with the nice comments I get from y'all. I'm going to figure it out, and I'll let everyone know what I've decided this week.

Knitting content! Knitting content!

Of course every knit blogger, and their mom, and sister, and uncle, and cousin has probably made at least one of these. If they haven't, then they have heard of it. These are some crappy (sorry) pictures of a Clapotis I knitted. It is made of -gasp- Red Heart acrylic. I liked the colors, and the price, so there! I also made one out of Knit Picks Shimmer, held double. That one is more of a scarf size, and it is so soft. I don't seem to have a picture of it, though, and my camera still doesn't have a battery.

I think I'm going to knit one more cloth, then I really need to get back to my hedera sock. I have the urge to do it, but I just keep picking up easier projects. Who knows why, I sure don't.

My friend is going to make up a basket, or some baskets with hand knit cloths by me, and another knitting friend. She will add dishsoap and whatever in the basket, too. They will go to the silent auction to raise money for the Relay for Life event. I will be there painting faces, too.
It's in Elberta, MI on August 12-13, I think. I'd better find out for sure!!

Well, time to get that laundry and nasty housework done. Hope you had a great weekend, and have a great week. Later....

Why yes, I do love summer!!

First of all. Thanks to everyone for the nice comments the other day!! I think I'll take Marji's advice and get some stormy pics of the lake some time. It's really something then!

My knitting is suffering from the heat. I just don't feel like knitting the projects I have going. I have been knitting cotton dishcloths. When I told my friend that, she told me another friend is knitting some for a charity. So, I'm going to donate a few, too. Not very exciting, I know. I guess this is what everyone on the Knitter's Review Forums call a slump. Whatever. This is my hobby, and my blog I guess I can do what I want!!


The picture above is from the Sleeping Bear Dunes. It's the view from close to the top. I am pretty sure the lakes in the background are Little and Big Glen Lake. On the other side of the dunes is Lake Michigan. I do love Michigan in the summer, but I am not a big winter kind of person. Michigan is a big kind of winter place, though! Cold and snowy!!


This other dunes picture is the view from the opposite way. I mean: it is me looking up toward the top of the dunes at LD and The Don. It is really hard to climb up, (for me anyway), but the views are unbelievable!!!!


One more non-knitting related picture. Bear with me, I am so bored right now. This is a sunset over Lake Michigan. Our town has this awesome gateway thing spanning the road coming into town. The gateway in the picture is a miniature one someone made. I thought that sunset was so cool, that I'd share it.
Ok, then. Knitting next time. I promise! Even if I have to make something up!!
