spam, doilies, and quilling
Remember that entry I put up about hating blogspirit a couple of entries ago? Yeah, well I'm pretty much back in that mindset. I got a couple of emails last week saying I had comments that were just numbers. So I knew something was up, also because they were on old entries. So I login to BS (appropriate acronym, I must say) and check my "list all comments" page and there are hundreds of spammed comments on this one entry that just say the title of the entry. Now, this probably has nothing to do with BS but they are going to be my scapegoat. I have no idea what the point of them was, although I didn't check the URL they linked to. I just deleted. Like CRAZY! In the process (I think!) I accidentally deleted a couple of legitimate comments from my last few entries. I just wanted to explain that was what's up with that. I don't hate you ladies and your comments or anything. It's truly quite the opposite! ;)
A random thought: I really want to knit some doilies. I know they're usually crocheted/tatted, but I know there are patterns for knitted ones out there. I saw a couple in a book at the library last week, but I wasn't too sure about them at the time. Anyway, if any one has any recommendations for a book or pattern, I would love to check it out. I know doilies are not the hippest things, but I do like them. If I wanted a pattern for something made with Fun-Fucking-Fur I could find roughly forty-thousand, I'm sure. [Can you tell I've been reading You Knit What?! a lot lately? I laugh so hard when I see that ugly stuff, so often made of Fun Fur.]
I am so excited, because tomorrow I am going to a quilling class at my local scrapbooking shop. Yes, quiLLing, not quilTing. It's where you, more or less, roll paper into little shapes. I think it's too cute and will try to take some pictures tomorrow. I think it's one of those things not many people would know by name, but you would probably recognize if you saw it. It looks crazily hard to me, but I'm hoping it's one of those things that looks hard but turns out to be rather simple when you break it down. Like knitting, for instance ...
I really need to get around to make (a) button(s) for this site. I started to, going with GeeYouKnit as my theme and trying to incorporate 50 Cent and G Unit, but I got frustrated or bored or something like that. I am fairly good at playing around in MSPaint, no photoshop for me. I just need to find something that inspires me. I think I will peruse google images soon and hope for such inspiration.
Mariah Update: I've got everything together on one needle and I'm about halfway through the yoke. The hood instructions look strange, so I'm just waiting until I get to that point to even worry about them. Usually stuff that seems weird makes perfect sense when I get to that part of the pattern.
I'm also back to working on Letter Have It. I just get so sick of knitting inch after inch of garter stitch! I feel like I'm working on a scarf or something equally as boring. Hopefully I will get it done soon, and not run out of yarn in the process.
I tried my hand at making a mitered square the other day, on a whim. Lots of fun, easy, and an easy way to get rid of scraps. Lots of my friends are going to be getting potholders and coasters in the future, I can tell you that much!
also, PICTURES NEXT TIME! Pinky swear! I am slacking majorly.

Thanks for sharing about quilling. I'd never heard of it. So, now I'll check out a book or 2 on it. Also, can't wait to see some knitting.
Knit on!

Blogspirit sucks, they get two middle fingers up. I hate those friggen spam entries.
Button! Do it! I will put it on my page as soon as you get it up. Photoshop frightens me, I use some kind of Photo Studio that's way more simple and does mostly the same stuff. My husband is cracking into Photoshop and doing alright. I don't want to read manuals to make a button though, screw that.
Looking forward to some pictures!!
