Knitting Backwards and some more stuff

Well I learned a new trick tonight, knitting backwards! Who's ever heard such a thing!? I saw something about it when looking at entrelac (or whatever) so I was like hey what's that? Looked it up and found an easy (for me) tutorial about it on knitty (which is GREAT if you've never been there) knitty's tutorial I hope that works. Any who, the shirt I'm knitting is from Knitty too and I don't really remember what it's called. I'll update that later. anyways, I'm going along knitting my shirt, find that tutorial and decide I should try it. Instead of being logical and starting a quick sample swatch I just start trying it out on my shirt. Could you have imagined how bad that could have ended up if it didn't work for me. Like if I'd have messed up somewhere? BUT, to my knowledge I picked it right up and i love it cause I hate to purl. :( Now to get rid of it completely ;) In other life news I think it's time to cut my nails, just kidding although it would be smart cause I keep typing numbers, but seriously though Jordan found a gun he likes and wants and that fits him. Now I guess that's not as exciting to everyone else but it's been forever since he's done that. But then again he misses a gun that he recently got rid of so he may get this one and another in the caliber he got rid of. Whatever though, no point in trying to fight about it. It gets deer meat in the freezer and you can't beat that with any beef/chicken/pig whatever else out there. Oh it's so good. But I digress, he is trying to find a job guiding hunts which would rock out for him since that's his passion and he knows so much about it. I was bored the other day and instead of finding new patterns I found myself looking at guns/hunting info. God forbid Jordan ever finds out about that. just kidding, kinda. I swear everyone that goes into the local (good) gun shop is going to know who we are by the end of the summer. That's great huh. I guess that's it right now. go to sleep.

Stuff

Okay okay so I didn't get around to posting pictures... I just don't know enough about this blogger thing to know how to put in pictures other than with html BUT I don't feel like figuring out where to upload them online so I can do the coding to put them down where I want them. I used to be real good at HTML and played with it all the time, even to the point where I almost made my very own website but alas, I didn't. I like the blog aspect of things and prefer this one to my MySpace one even though I'm pretty sure that NOONE reads this one... it's so lonely in here. hello hello hello is there anybody in here, just nod if you can hear me... But I digress. I have started trying to knit a tank top and it's going along just fine. Last time I tried knitting a shirt it was actually a sweater and I Hated the yarn. So it's about 4/7th of the way done. I don't know where that fraction came from but whatever. I have been making stitch markers which are so awesome, I'm testing them out with this project. They are working! Uh, I went to my parents house for the 4th and we had fun. My aunt was there and I like her but don't get to see her much. I don't know why. anywho I'll keep you (whoever you are, introduce yourself to me) updated on my progress of everything. Peace out!

time and where does it all go?

So here's to life. Oh there's so much going on! I have really been on the ball with making stuff. I have made like 6 different bikini tops trying to figure out which one I liked the most and truth be told I don't fully like any of them. My future SIL had her baby the other night and she's too cute. I made her a hat/blanket set out of the crochet version of Stitch and Bitch that I totally adore. I made that little hat that looks like a flower which I got the pattern from http://suzies-yarnie-stuff.blogspot.com/2007/03/tulip-cap.html (I doubt that's clickable) and I also made some of the Go Green market bags from her site. uh, I've made her a head band too. It's sorta out of Crochet Today but I had made a few changes to it. I crocheted me a shirt, a ton of sponges, some necklaces, hats, pretty much just a ton of stuff. I have now branched out to making some bead work. Which I found out I totally love too. Poor Jordan won't know what to do with me now. Speaking of him I feel totally bad for him because he got a Tikka T3 I think. (which is a really good gun brand) in a caliber he's been wanting for a while (25-06) and it did not shoot worth anything. Turns out that the stock on it was loose. Now that he got it tight again he doesn't want to shoot it anymore (when he first was shooting it it left a bruise on his shoulder). Because of that, and the loudness of it (since it has such a short barrel on it) he's looking for a replacement. Well the problem there is that he has a really long length of pull (I guess you'd still call it that) because he has long arms so not many guns that would sit comfortably on the Average Joe do on him. We've been going crazy trying to find him one that's suitable and will not be too heavy to carry hunting (he doesn't like to sit in blinds because it's not as sportsman like). It's been a blast! Not even sarcastic like. I've learned to enjoy it until Jeyton gets fussy. I have even learned a bunch about hunting and guns in general. Look at me be well rounded. I keep forgetting about my blog so I'm going to try to post like once a week or something. I got some apparently vintage Dawn Odyssey yarn. It's six skeins they came in an unopened bag and everything. I have no clue what to do with it. It smells like moth balls though :( which makes it even harder to find something to make. I thought about a shawl and hoping the smell comes out when I wash it. But I don't know if I want to knit it or crochet it. I want to make this blog fun and something that people would read but I don't know how I'll go about that. Oh and we also had gotten a concealable Kel-Tec hand gun but I have a bad wrist and it hurt when I shot it. So we have traded it for a small Bersa and I haven't shot that one yet so I don't know how it'll work out on my wrist. I don't know what else to talk about I'll try posting some pictures later. Peace out
