You are pink aluminum.  Retro, straightforward and fun, you love classic
things. If they're 99 cents at Goodwill all the better! You are moved by striking colors and tasty morsels, and you like a stitch-n-bitch
session in the sun.  Just remember, while you're being kitschy cool, don't get too cold.  Ice cubes are best kept in your cocktails,
baby!

Hmmmmm..... At least they are pink!! 

:D  HOORAY!  *does a happy dance around her living room* I signed up for a class!!  I am going into Atlanta to get my hair cut in a couple of weeks and I checked out the class schedule at a couple of LYSes in Atlanta.  And, one of them had class on finishing!!  YAY!!  We are going to seam and block and pick up stitches.  I know I need help in these areas!  I am so pumped!  I checked out the String of Purls website, and they don't have their class schedule up yet, and hopefully they will soon.  I hope I can go there when I am up in Atlanta soon.  They had an Aran cable class on 9/11 and I hope they repeat it.  I really want to learn how to do cables. 

YAY!!  What a good day!  Now, I just have to be patient!

I had not seen this post on KR, but Amie let me know they were there!

I can make a mini-Hendrix and Lynard!  I love them!!

Here is a photo of the pattern that I am using!  But, it will be a little bit shorter than the one in the picture. 

Thanks to Ivan, look what I did!!

You can't see the poncho very well because it is black, but it looks good.  I wanted a basic poncho that I could wear all the time.  It doesn't get too cold here in the winter as it does a lot of other places, so I can wear it all the time.

And, here is a washcloth!  It is my first attempt at chrochet.  I am taking a class in the outreach program at Auburn.  I am enjoying it, but knitting will definately be my thing.  It will be nice to be able to do some things for edges and a purse or a pillow or so.  I got Candi Jensen's Hooked on Crochet book, and I really like it.  It has some great projects in it.  I think I may make the pillows. 

I am dying some yarn today, so I will post pictures later!!  I haven't dyed with Kool-Aid in a couple of weeks and I wonder why I waited so long!  I love it!

Oh, and here is a pic of Philip and I!  We took it before we went to a wine trail in Opelika.  There is a pic of my friends and I after the trail, and it is bad.  We had a little too much wine. 

Ok, so I just have to vent for a second.  I am watching a Makeover Story (no work because of Ivan!), and there is this beauty pageant mom on there and she thinks she looks worse when she is made over.  She looks so much btter.  And, she is telling her friend that her friend looks older.  She is so negative, it's awful.  She makes me so so mad!!  All her friend said when she told her that she looked older was, "I love her hair."  This poor woman!  GRRRR...

We are preparing for the good ole hurricane!  So, I might not be back for a couple of days if we loose power.  Grrr......

Lots of good knitting time!! 

YAY!!  I got my poncho yarn today!!!!  I started my poncho and I have about an inch on it!  I have been working on stuff for church and attempting to work on my second sock.

We should be getting hurricane weather here in the next day or so, so I may be out of commission for the next day or so.  The power may go out for a couple of days, but I should get some knitting done!

I finished up a square for Afghans for Us and I taught myself the long tail cast on!  Go me!  It wasn't too complicated once I got the hang of it, it was mostly just making sure I had the yarn on my hands right!  The squares look good.  I am loving the 365 stitches book - worth every penny!!

I am starting a crochet class on Tuesday - it should be so much fun!  I am not going to give up knitting, but it will be nice to know how to do some basic things, especially for edging and shawls.

That is a picture of cute little Lynard.  I still need to take a picture of Hendrix. 

But, HOORAY!  I got a package from my SP today!  There was a slight mix up with the mail - my mailman didn't leave a note like he was supposed to.  Oh well!  But, I did get 2 books - the Joy of Knitting and The Joy of Knitting Handbook.  They look like they are going to be great books!  Knitting books have become my new favorite things.  Thanks SP, you are the best!!

I am trying to get myself motivated to get some things done for church!  The ECW (Episcopal Christian Women) at my church are having a craft/bake sale in October and I need to get going on some projects.  We are raising money for the church and for the Humane Society.  So, I have started on some scarves and I am going to make some washcloths.  I posted this on KR, and several people have suggested making cell phone cozies, which will be super cute as well as some catnip mice which will be adorable as well! 

I'll take a picture of Lynard and Hendrix today, and hopefully post that pretty soon!  My Secret Pal has sent me something so I am patiently waiting!
