I finished knitting all the pieces for the Must-Have Cardi Turned Sweater!! I blocked them all, and boy, does blocking do wonderful things >.< They're all flat and fabric-y and nice, yay!
But lo, no pictures :/
HOWEVER I started on the vintage stripe crochet blanket and here's some pix:
This feels so retro, I don't know WHAT to do with myself!
This gave me an idea for hip stripey scarves for Xmas. Crochet has a use!
The blanket is at about twice this width now, so I want you to imaaaaaagine the wonderous colors I've chosen for it. Ehhhhh, actually, I'm sorta, kinda running out of colors, but I still think it can look nice and tacky and oh, so seventies.
And to give you an idea, this blankets height? About 7 feet high. Why do I do these things to myself?
So me and boyfriend Pat will be moving the Chimichanga experience (our band, if you didn't know!) about a mile or two from where we are now.
A quick word about our summer fun band -- we may be having a show at a local Anarchist venue in Tucson on July 7th! Crazy, right?! We need to upload a myspace with our music (we need to record good versions of our songs we have down) and just get some pictures up and see if we're A-OK for those rule-dodging youngsters! Much fun. I've never been in a BAND like this and never played drums in front of an audience, so this is a big thing for me. Pictures of that will be posted when it happens!!
Now, tomorrow, we sign the lease for a year, give them our deposit and pet deposit, and see when we can start moving stuff in. It might not seem like it, but
I'M. SO. EXCITED!!!!!!!!
No joke, I love moving and I love decorating even more. I love putting things on shelves and putting couches in different places and, and, and... OK, I'm all right, but you get the idea. EEEEEEE! I usually wouldn't be so stoked, I guess, but it's in a better neighborhood (not right next to the bum-park (ie, the park that was infested with bums who would lock us in our own front yard (long story) and knock our gate over when it was broken just for fun and try to creepily keep up conversations with us through an open window at 3 a.m. -- while we were sleeping. Also a long story.)). Anyways, it's overall a better place I think. No carpet, which I'm VERY glad for (rental places seem to always have shitty brown shag rug and stains everywhere, aimirite?) and is a cute '50s construction.
I'll show some decorating pictures later.
Oh yeah! KNITTING TOO!
Wish me luck on the house, and, oye, on that blanket that will take me years...
