Well, I’m currently typing and knitting at once. I type a bit and then knit a few stitches. It’s kind of hillarious. I’m nearly done the first of the 2 hats mom’s students requested.
Oooo, what fun! Only about a dozen more projects to go before I knit for knitting’s sake. I’m about ready to to use my yarn as a garrote on someone! I need to vent at someone who’ll understand, ya know? Unfortunately, there’s no one around who’ll just let me vent without criticizing me for venting.
I’m still sick though. Mom thinks that I need to get my bloody tonsils and adnoids taken out. Hahahaha—-so not happening. I mean, I’m trying to lose weight for this summer and the weddings.
Anyways, my bff, Sweet Pea Heretic, is posting an entry on Knitting and she interviewed me for it. It was pretty cool. In depth too. But I don’t think she’s posted it yet. As soon as she does, I’ll put up a link for ya’ll to read what it’s like talking to me. Aiight?
Okay, so today’s entry is actually going to be pretty short. I’m going to be logging off to log some hours on the old television and watch some sadly ignored animes I’ve got stored on DVR. lol
Love ya’ll!
Hats, hats, hats and more hats! Wednesday, November 28, 2007

Alright, so I started making hats for the Dodge County High School Cheerleaders for the Friday night football games seeing as it’s cold according to Georgia standards and we’re past the normal football season and into region playoffs, I made three last week from Saturday to Friday, and considering I was sick and still am, that’s pretty damn good, right? Right. Mom gave the 3 hats to a student of hers that is a cheerleader and told her to hand them out. Well, that student and another of my mom’s students got hats and some other girl. And today at school, Mom was asked if she would ask me if I could make some more hats for them by 2 or 3 other girls that she teaches. So I’m just going to knit up about a dozen plus the requested 2 or 3 and send them in with Mom for a free for all bit. But I’m starting work on the requested ones tonight and I should be done them in time for Monday. So there will be about a dozen and a half hats {or more} made by Margaret Ruth Lowe wandering around Eastman, GA by the end of this school year.
And then there’s the ones my Grandmother’s told me I should knit for the stockings I’m giving my Sunday School class.
Hello! I’ve only got so much time before Christmas. And I’ve still got to knit up the doll that I said I might knit for Tammy but somehow she managed to change the definition of the word might to the same bloody definition as will! I tried telling her I didn’t have the time or the high powered pain killers to do all of the knitting people are expecting me to do, but geez, you’d think I told her that I hate her beyond all reason or something the way she reacted. So now I’m knitting up a whole bunch of hats for my kids at church, my mother’s students, Miss Frankie at church, a doll for Tammy, hats for my friends, Ellie, Kristie and my Double Trouble Sister Forever, Britty, and I still have to finish Blue Snow and once Brittany and Bubba find out what they’re having I have to make a baby thing for them! I only wanted to make some hats for those poor freezing girls for region playoffs and a blanket for my sister. How did I manage to lose control of my own free will in knitting??!!
Knitting is supposed to be my outlet from the crazy things in life that make me want to kill myself. But people have even managed to take that from me. This is why I hate people. Knitting is supposed to keep me from going mental, but with the amount of people demanding things from me concerning my knitting, I’m about to snap at somebody. It’s taking everything I have in me not to go up to Tammy and wring her neck and shake her back and forth screaming in her face that my bones and muscles and joints disagree with my knitting too much and the pattern may be cute but it takes a lot of time and patience and tiny needles and worsted yarn DO NOT WORK WELL TOGETHER! And don’t get me started on my family!
So, that’s about it for tonight. Love ya’ll. Now leave me alone!

Well, I’ve been sick since last Sunday. And Shopping and wandering all over Georgia. UGH! I hate the holidays because I always manage to get sick. But oh, well. Hopefully I’m nearly done with this “Severe Viral Infection” as the doctor diagnosed. Little baka.
Okay. All last week I knit hats for the cheerleaders at my mom’s high school, Dodge County High School, because it’s been really cold at night lately. Not as cold as Vermont, but cold by Georgia standards.
I’ve also discovered this really cool rpg game. It’s called AVALON. It’s a basic script entry game, but really in depth and awesome. Here’s a link up to it. Avalon — The Legend Lives Anyways, it’s cool and if ya’ll are into that sort of thing, ya’ll should really check it out. My user name there is Mizuko and my character’s from Mercinae. Love to see ya there!
I’m making some of the Christmas Presents I’ve got to make. But Tammy’s going to have to wait on the doll for her birthday (Dec 25th!) because well, the pattern’s with tiny needles, worsted yarn and my arms, bones and joints are killing me thanks to knitting and crocheting 24/7.
Yeah, my mom thinks that I’ve most likely got Carpal Tunnel, but I dunno. All I know is I carry major pain killers for it. lol
Next weekend, I get to be off my meds for 2 days for a psychologist appointment, woohoo. This oughta be fun, teaching Sunday School unmedicated, huh?
I’ve taken a slight hiatus from working on Blue Snow to work on hats and I plan on trying out a mittens pattern as well. But I will soon be back on track with Blue Snow.
So any readers yet?
Yes, I’m rambling. I tend to do this when I’m sick. So, please bear with me for the time being.
So with no further ado, I bid you adieu!
lol
