Alright! I'm back in the saddle again! I love being back home in smoggy LA. I felt like a kid when the plane was descending and I just couldn't stop staring out the window at all those thousands of lights. It still amazes me.
So me and Motley Crue! Yes. You heard it here first. No we don't have a tour booked to open for them. (at least, not yet?) But TotalRock.com is sending me on a mission. I am their press correspondent for the Motley Crue press conference and live performance on Monday! How crazy and whacked out is that? This will be my first time on THAT side of the press/cameras etc.
BAM ROCKS
Okay. So you already know I'm mad about my Bam. Well, he read my post about trying to figure out a way to store my yarn so I can see it and while I was away, he found a shoe-cubby hole shelving thingy at Home Depot and put it together and stocked it with a ton of my yarn stash. Could I be any happier? Well, we're getting another one so my happiness meter will go even higher! ha! (can you say.....ever growing yarn stash?)
Photo coming as soon as I can locate our digital camera in our insanely tiny house!
CONFESSION
Knitting sin #1: I bought a machine knit sweater for Bam. Okay. Here's my argument. Since my knitting leans toward the rebellious punky side, I would never knit a normal looking sweater like that. Plus I would have to use 2mm needles to make something similar and we know THAT is not gonna happen. Nevertheless, I am praying to the yarn gods for forgiveness.
TO THE COMMENTERS.........
To Tim, thanks dude! Your xx blog rocks too! I haven't checked out that Rolling Stone issue but I will and let you know.
To Jessica, thank you dahlink! You are too kind. I did get some fondling in of the Koigu but just saw fingerless gloves from the Kersti so I've dived in.
To Wendy, Yah, youuu knowe vut I vas tinkink. Yah. I tink youuuu doo. Vee Nords and Youuuu Svedes, vell, yah. It's da same tink, yah. I haf to go make some lefska now. yah.
To Kris, I think it says "God Jul". So it probably is just God Bless. But I have a twisted mind and prefer to think it says something far more nasty. Here is what my computer says is correct for my saying:
Kunn all av Deres fiser er stinky med glede.
To Crystal.....thanks doll. to answer your question about the white scarf....there were two. One was for my mom. She loves it and wears it every single day! The other one was for my step daughter in England. And she wrote to thank me and says she loves it. Good luck with your Christmas prezzies!

Hi Share! I'm a fellow Minnesotan, and I also teach at Needlework Unlimited! I talked with Karen (the owner) today, and she was just so excited to have had you in the shop a couple of weeks ago! Sorry I missed you, loved the "Bam" sweater in S n' B!

(It's not that important) but just FYI... "God Jul" is Swedish for "Merry Christmas" (I'm from a immigrant Swedish family).

Yah, Dianna is correct! "God Jul" is Swedish for Merry Christmas!
Gotta go check on the lutfisk!

ah, but in norwegian, "god jul" does in fact mean "may all your farts be stinky with joy". what a coincidence!
just kidding, of course. merry x-mas!
