Never Mind the Bollocks!

Obviously, I love pink. But I didn't know I would go so mad over pink and green. It's so very Sex Pistols and I knit up this swatch.....I'm not sure I like the combo of yarns but I love the combo of colors. Soooooooooo loud!

You can see how bright that is! The Pink is Berroco Suede and the Green is Online .....oh shoot. I can't find the ball band right now. Well, anyway you get the idea.

I also started a fan and feather scarf for someone. Very pretty. Very not me but very very pretty. I think it's important to knit for the wearer and not for me!

hmmmmmmmm..........well, I'm rambling a bit here.
We drove to the beach tonight and went for a bike ride in the dark on the Venice Boardwalk. It was AWESOME! Nobody around to crash into and very quiet. Plus it was really mild. Not too windy or anything.

My knitting problem? I love love love to start projects. But I get so bored and hate going all the way. Having said that, I do actually finish them. Sigh.
what can I say?

Did I mention we've given up coffee too??????????????
yes.
no more cappuccinos.
We've been trying Yerba Mate. It's .........ahhhhh.........well,.....interesting.
Getting used to Green Tea.
Just trying to make ourselves healthier and more ready for anything.

Oh. Here's a funny one.........I took a snap of a big box of yarn. I was gonna sell it all on Ebay. Then, knitter's regret struck me and I couldn't part with it. Sheesh! Will I ever knit with those six balls of scratchy white mohair yarn? Will I ever use the sorta dull blue yarn? Probably not. But I just wasn't ready to de-stash it all just yet. LAAAAAAME!!!!!!!!!!!
Does anybody else go through this?
I can't believe I couldn't go through with it.

How much yarn can one person have? I don't even know what I have anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ah well.
I guess that's why this blog is called knit ADDICTIONS!
later fellow enablers.
I know you're all gonna tell me that it's okay.
Hey, it ain't cocaine, right?
just yarn.

Regarding the destasher's regret, I found a good solution. Try finding a charity that needs yarn. There are a couple of online resources for charities revolving around needle craft. Some want finished items but some just want yarn.

It's a lot easier to part with yarn when you know it'll be put to good use :)

Hi Share, I think giving up coffee and trying to destash all in one week is brutal on the soul. One step at a time, sister.

As for giving up coffee, I recently gave up my daily cuppa tea and found it easier by following some advice I'd read in a health magazine: Eating an apple will wake you up just as effectively as drinking a cup of coffee. This actually worked for me so give it a try.

Here's to your health and wellness!

hey, it could be worse...you could be like Carrie Bradshaw (Sex in the City) and her shoes...100 pairs of Manolo Blahniks (or however you spell them) and no money to buy her apt!

"Are you telling me I spent $40,000 on shoes and I have no place to LIVE?!?!!?

I really WILL be the old woman who lived in her shoes!!!"

ps - have you tried Wheatgrass? There's something about LA and wheatgrass, they GO together. It's good shit. LIQUID SUNSHINE! Try it. But chase it with peach or mango juice instead of an orange slice...the orange counteracts the greeny goodness and peach just tastes better :)
