Its all true, the boogie girl is real, and you've found her. She knits, sews, spins, does pottery and writes it all down in this blog.

pencils down, times up!
With xmas closing and that shawl and a pair of socks sitting in my knitting bags. Unfinished. Right now I'm sitting down with lunch so its *bite, type, search, type, bite, bite, read, post, list, bite* I've looked a few other blogs and I'm amazed at the work that people get done. All night knit-a-thons? At least one sweater a week? Where do they get the time. I don't know these people but I have work and a child and a husband. That's my excuse but I hope to have my knitting done for xmas and I really really want to get more knitting done period. I have so much yarn (and more on the way) and so many ideas but I run out of time and dammit I'm tired. *sigh* My fingers are just itching to try these 3 new patterns I've written. I've bought some bulky yarn which I normally dont use, maybe that will speed things ups, especially on a sweater for my giant husband. Why do I always use such tiny yarns? Holidays are so tough to get fun things done, but I need to work to pay bills right? So I'm off to work more while my daughter runs around in her undies because she has discarded all her other clothing. I wouldn't mind if it weren't below freezing. Time to turn up the heat and pour a glass of wine. then we'll ba making xmas cookies for Santa, who this year has requested rum balls made with jaegermeister. Ummmm chocolate chip cookies it is.
