tea and knitting go very well together :)

my package arrived today

I'm so excited, I just got my package from janinga!!!

The yarn is a beautiful cotton yarn in black and purple, the soap smells great and I have to defend the sheep against my son. Not on the photo are 2 cars that he immediately unwrapped and started to play with. And if I didn't stop him, he would eat all of those skull gummi candies at once.

I just love the content of the package, now I'm away from my computer to find a pattern for the yarn...

contest entry...or shameful display!

I'm not sure this is punk at all...it might be like antipunk...but for a punk to make something faux punk...thats punk :) Anyways, I really wanted some of those short sleeve hoodie things. I saw them in marshalls, wanted one, was cheap, and then wished I bought one. So instead I knit one! I know it is terribly hottopicbrat of me but I wanted one so :P. [of course before I finished this I went back to marshalls for wedding shit and found the short sleeve hoodies were like 5 bucks and so I bought two....] but anyways this is pretty cute and I like it :)

Punk Knits Contest

halter
Originally uploaded by kasiaiscarly

OK - So here is my contest entry. I really don't have much on the needles right now, let alone something punk. I've been feverishly knitting on my so-called-scarf for the red scarf project deadline. (that is the slowest moving stitch pattern EVER!) I guess the 'punkest' thing would have to be my halter top in the 'no one can tell me what to do' way, since I'm making up the pattern myself. It's also planned to be worn under my suit. .. so when I have to be corporate I can still be wearing a halter top and no bra and no one will know :) Unfortunately, I've lost momentum when I got thru the first skein and haven't picked it up in a month or so, but this is the latest picture

Also, If anyone is interested, I'm running a contest on my blog. The prize is the materials to make the Best Friends Bag from Knitty :)

Looking forward to seeing everyone's packages!!

My package arrived!

I got my package a few days ago, but I've been so busy dyeing yarn for Stitches that I kept forgetting to post it here. Anyway, my pal sent me an awesome box, complete with the coolest knitting needle bracelet! I even attempted to bend one myself out of one of my old needles but gave up pretty quick :)


There's more info on my blog.

Spoiling the spoiler....

One of the PRGE-ers contacted me about spoiling the spoiler. She wanted to do something nice since her pal had been so good to her. She picked out some markers from my etsy shop and asked me to send them to the spoiler - since I could find out the identity and she does not yet know who the spoiler is. Very sneaky!!

The spoiler contacted me today and asked me to post the package that arrived at her house. So to Megan a HUGE thank you from your spoiler, who will be revealed soon. The markers were a hit!

( I think I got all the spoilers and spoilees right.... and still kept the secret...)

Happy Knitting and Spoiling!!

Pre-Package Love

I got this card from my pal and had to share! When you open it up - it sings Kung Fu Fighters! I have been giggling over it all weekend!
Thanks so much Amidala!!

Man Fiber Sooooo Nice!

Hey Bones, Don't Bogart that Skein my Friend...


My sneaky pal is raising the bar. This time she/he sent some "man yarn" direct from the source. Oh this is Bones. He is the latest addition to our home. It fits the PRGE theme sort of and it's getting closer to Halloween.



I love the Fearless Fiber. Not only is the name cool but the fiber is soo soft and I cant wait to cast on.

Thanks Prue

I dont call it punk but I'm sure its still cool

I dont know if it really is punk but it was just finished.

2 work friends are due to meet their little baby this week. Dad loves metal as well and even look forward to introducing his little one to the finer points of the music he loves. Bubs even has some metal shirts to wear just like Daddy.

I guess it has the background but I know that Mum will lover the blanket to wrap the little one in as well.

punk knits...

I didn't knit much punk during the last months and don't knit anything punk right now, but a few days ago I finished those fingerless mitts. They are made with a super soft alpaka yarn I got during PRGE mini - thanks again Ms.Pixieriot - and I absolutely love them.


Now I'm planning to knit a scarf or hat with the rest of the yarn, but I didn't decide on a special pattern yet. Perhaps just as simple and ribbed as the mitts. If you have any suggestions, that would look great with this yarn, feel free to leave a comment...

My contest entry

So the punkest thing on my needles are my schoolgirl knee socks - inspired by the Toe Up sock tutorial in the Summer IK. The one that is finished fits amazing and of course I didn't write anything down, or really pay tons of attention when I was knitting it. So now I am counting lots of rows... I am even using my little skull sock markers...

For upcoming punk, I just finished writing my skull christmas stocking. I am really excited to try out the pattern - even though mr.sunneshine said it could not be my "real" stocking. And at the same time I wrote a Hanukah stocking - which I also find to be quite punk. Both will be cast on by the end of the weekend!

Happy Knitting!!

received my july package!

Or was it June?? (lol, so long ago i can't even remember which J month that swap was!) Anyway...getting a photo together but...wow! Love it!

I received some beautiful turtle stitch markers, a double pointed needle case with a few other stitch markers, a cute sushi wallet kit (so cool), 3 skeins of yarn, beautiful, a small funky retro change holder.... I just loved it all! I may even be forgetting an item or two, i was suprised with how well it suited me! I , again, will try and get a pic up tonight..but wanted to post that it arrived safely. Must go drag myself to work out now, then off to work!

My Contest Entry

Okay, so I have taken stock and discovered that I am not knitting anything of "punk" value at the moment. Here it the one thing on my needles that I hope to get off soon. I am working very hard on a project for my Pal at the moment and hoping I can get it done in time for the first box. If not, it will arrive when I get it done. As far as things in my Ravelry queue, I'm gonna go with the Licorice Whip top.( http://www.bluealvarez.com/bluealva/patterns/licoricewhip.html) Can't wait to make that one!

Sending Packages

Hi All - I was just wondering what y'all were doing for timing of sending packages. I'm trying to decide if I should wait until the very last minute to send out my package so it arrives on the 1st or if others are already sending them. I noticed on Twisted Knitster's blog he received his, so if they are already starting to go, I don't want my pal to feel left out and the last one to get something! Will you let me know what your plans are?

It Looks Like I Have No Life

Or...I am the first to post in response to the contest.

Well, as far as punk things I am knitting...hm. I just finished another pair of those baby chucks. Man, I actually hate knitting them, I just realized this. Actually, OTN, I guess Goddess? Sure, why not.

In my queue (under things I consider punk) I have:
Tsanta
The Republic Hat (it's the button)
Deep V Argyle Vest
Pirate Baby Booties
