Sockwars - Target Two Eliminated

Well I recived the second targets socks half finished from the lovely halfasheep and finished up the socks last night. Kitchenered and everything! Usualy I like to do a 2 needle bind off but since the first sock was graphted I went ahead and graphted as well and you know what it looked great. I must have been on a roll because I usualy screw that up so bad that I never want to try again. In my excitment to mail off the socks I forgot to take pictures. But the important thing is that another person is dead and I am one step closer to winning. Ha! I want to win! If you arange the database the way some people think it should be aranged to figure out who is after you it doesn't work for my first target and I but it works for my second target and her assigned killer. So if I am simply an anomily to the progress then 10 of the people above me on the database are dead already so my socks have probably bounced around a bit in the mail and that is why I am not dead yet. So cross your fingers and wish me luck.

Sockwars - Target One Eliminated

The lovely halfasheep has been eliminated! She is also fortunate enough to be eliminated by famous socks! The picture I took of the finished weapon of destruction was selected to represent the Scar pattern on Ravelry. I heard from her today and she loves her socks and she is mailing out my next victim's info and socks today! I hope I don't get killed before I can assasinate another person.

Emergency Knitting Kit part duex

I know I went into a whole tirade about the emergency knitting kit. Well I was serious but like some political figures I under estimated the amount of time it would take to enact my plan. So this is not the entirety of the plan but here is one of the most important parts of it.
Tada! The MissAKit! It is the most fantabulous tool any knitter, or woman could ever have. My camera is currently in the shop but I'll try and take pics of mine with my PC camera when the sun comes through my kitchen window. For now here this is from their website.


The scissors well duh all knitters need those. Nail file / ruler totally needed. I have used that little ruler for swatching many a times. The pen for making notes on pattern changes or getting some hot guys phone number, not that I have ever done that I am a married woman people! Or perhaps to jot down your blog for a curious knitting bystander. The sewing kit can easily have a darning needle added to it. The knife will be handy in fighting off those zombies and evil flying monkey ninja vampires who take over the world. Tweezers, well a girl has got to look good, even when on the run from an erupting volcano. Tweezers can also be useful for picking up dropped stitches. Bottle opener, well need I say more? And well you can fill the mini perfume bottle with perfume but don't you think that perhaps the killer bees would be attracted to you if you smell like a flower so I suggest filling it with ever clear, morphine, or perhaps some other fun substance that will make coping with disaster easier. I would however advise against hallucinogens as they, I've heard make dealing with Giant blood sucking bats a tad bit trickier than would normally be the case. Throw a couple Valium or aspirin whatever you like in the pillbox and bam you are ready for any knitting emergency or apocalyptic occurrence.
More supplies to be placed in said kit will be added later.
Goodbye for now.

Stash

I know the contest is over but our hostess was nice enough to host a contest and I thought it would be fun anyway. I've got to take more detailed pics later because I've just gotten onto Ravelry and am addicted! It's better than I even imagined! my screen name is SinKnitty of course. So without further ado my stash. As you can see my stash is small. Here it all is on my couch. Here are my cottons. And my sock yarns.
Not a big stash but I like to use my yarn. I will spare everyone a close up look at my bag full of acrylic and novelty yarn. We've all seen it before and the novelty yarn is left over from those days a few years ago where novelty yarns called me back to the world of knitting. I will now use them to entice new knitters. mwahahaha
