JessaLu Knits (and Spins!)

Archive for May, 2005

Okay, I think I’m going to need oxygen soon.  In less than 24 hours – LESS THAN TWENTY-FOUR HOURS – I will be at the Webs tent sale.  I can’t bear the suspense.  My sister is actually coming up from Pennsylvania (read: MIDDLE OF FREAKING EAST CUPCAKE WHERE YOU CAN’T FIND AN LYS TO SAVE YOUR LIFE) for this SEX (SEX: Stash Enhancement Expedition get your mind out of the gutter…ew) AND is staying at my house tonight so she can drag my sorry ass out of bed at freaking 7 am ON A SATURDAY so we can get the best stuff.  Little does she know that it’s not going to be so hard to get me up and going (however, if I allow her to believe this I will get coffee made for me and no one will talk to me until I tell them it is safe.  I’m not so stoopid as I look) and I’m not above elbowing her scrawny arse out of my way to get to the silk (I’m allergic to Alpaca – yes it sucks to be me because for some reason the most popular wool/silk blend is AL-FREAKING-PACA AND SILK which just ruins my life – and all my friends think mohair is too ’scratchy’ which narrows my gift-giving scope just a titch).

OHmyGod I think I’m going to have to start counting the minutes.

The bottom half of my new sweater that is under construction. It’s eyelets and cables and I’ve only screwed up once so far!

Here is the gift bag I knitted for my friend’s birthday out of the silk I purchased a few weeks ago. You would not believe how lovely this is in person :o) I admit, this wasn’t just a gift for her, it was also a treat for me to knit with the silk!
