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.

Lost and Found
Yesterday morning I found my tackle box with my show setup. I was giddy. So much stuff in there would be hard to replace, whew! So I figured if I found that, I could find other lost items. I ran down to the studio to see if I coudl find that material. All 4 pieces found! All in different strange places, I'm not sure what I was thinking. One of these days I'll get a pic of the horrible clutter that is my fabric stash and maybe you'll understand. While I was searching for that fabric I found a t-shirt that needed to be a skirt and 2 pairs of jeans that would fit my increasing waistline. In my studio its in the basement and the carpet is placed right on the cement slab - can you say COLD! I have the pattern and yarn to make clogs, but I can't seem to bring myself to do it, there is a blogger out there making a ton, do you think she'd make me a pair? I'm getting lazy, i know, but I have bigger fish to fry than a pair of clogs. I decided to find my tazmanian devil giant slippers, M had taken then as her own stuffed toy a while ago. I found one in her toy box and while I was looking for the other I found a bag of yarn and my old Ugg style boots. Better than taz slippers, not as cute but now if I put on a mini skirt I"ll be in fashion with my Ugg's on. The yarn is acrylic but it was something I put aside to make an afghan, not that I remember stashing it under the bed.
What did I lose? A check for $400 for a show payment. It just disappeared off of my kitchen counter. I think I've also lost a little piece of my sanity.
We have snow, perfect knitting weather. If only I could take a snow day off. Maybe I'll quit early today. *thinking about what I need to accomplish* maybe not. I still haven't made less expensive bags, my goal for this week. I can't seem to force myself to use all cotton material without extra inner linings. I'll get some pics of the new ones soon. I keep thinking I should make small ones too. Maybe today is the day. I may not get to quit early, I get to cutting, creating, sewing and sometimes I forget to stop.
That's the doberkitten. I know I have some equally silly ones of our other darling. She does seem to try to be a little more dignified.
This is a knitting blog? How easily I forget. Rosedale is what I chose to work on. I've got the first 8 inches done and hope to start the increases tonight. And for tortuga's questions: I don't think this is possible; snag the code in toto subsituting your own image source address because you download their image and host in on your site in observance of netiquette If someone reads this and I'm wrong, let us know.
As for the IK mag, I can find good in most magazines. Its great inspiration. 
I want to do Stella but make longer sleeves and have a longer pattern repeat at the sleeve cuff (like up to the elbow). Retro cute in pretty pink?
I like the cabling on this. And may eventually make it without changing much. 
I love the purled polka dots. I like how it looks on the model but I know it won't work for me so I plan to do the polka dots to jazz up a plain tank top/shell. I might even go polka dot crazy and make them on a bunch of things. I do love polka dots, especially pink and black ones.
