Goodbye Harry, Hermione, and Ron

I was telling a friend of mine today that I feel like it is over. How many years have we waited for the next book, the next movie, etc to wander the halls of Hogwarts? He said he and his wife thought maybe they should actually see a movie or read one of the books so they knew what the world was talking about. I told him they must be the only people who have not experienced Harry Potter, the boy with the scar. I dont know that I want to see movie 5 even though it was my fav book or the other two except the magic scenes where Harry does battle. My niece is so much like Hermione, smart, a good person, totally into her books, etc.

I did not like the way she ended this book, just seemed so wrong and out of place, with lots of questions unanswered, who is running Hogwarts, what is Harry doing, etc. etc. etc. Ron and Hermione, what an odd pair dont know that I would have put them together but... I did not write the books. I also did not like that she killed Hedwig, how can you kill a pet, well ok killing Nargina was fine but then was Voldemort's pet really a pet?

I do have the Charmed Knits book and have marked several things I want to make out of there, so maybe I will keep the magic alive a little longer with my knitting.

PS The Yarn harlot will be close by in September so I hope to get a chance to go see her.

The kite is still in the tree.

Tote Exhange IV

I got my tote from Melissa last night. Isn't it beautiful and the colors are perfect for me. I also got some candles, notecards, note pad and calendar and bath crystals. I love the pattern as well. she did a really good job for a newbie knitter. I LOVE IT

Monster Crochet

If you have not visited this blog you need to when you are truly bored and really have an hour or so. In all reality this person is extremely talented because to create these pieces takes some major talent. www.monstercrochet.blogspot.com is a compilation of such things as slices of bacon, slabs of raw meat, a cheeseburger, olive loaf shawl, turkey purse, etc etc etc. I visit it often to see what she comes up with next. While most things I would never attempt to do even though the patterns are there there are some cool things that i printed off such as the bloody finger stumps for my Halloween decorating. I can see some uses for her stuff, like the eyeballs which my mom hates again for Halloween decorating. I was thinking of making my buddy McPhee some of the fingers cos he does Halloween more than I do, imagine that.


PS Someone please take the kite out of the tree.

9 days til the last Harry Potter book comes out. Do you have yours reserved. I do have the Harry Potter knitting book, it is great, too many cool things in there I have to knit, when do I have time? Too bad I have to work to support my addiction, I mean my hobby.

Subversive Cross Stitch

So today I noticed in the FYI section of my paper there is an article titled Naughty Knotty. It is about naughty knitting. Books such as Dominitrix and Stitch and Bitch and others are mentioned. It is really advertisement for a play in a city about an hour away "Her Knitted Burlesque Review." All the costumes are knitted right down to the G-strings. Apparently Nikol Lohr who wrote Naughty Needles lives in the city. Anyway the point of this is on page 4 of the continued article there is the infamous Bite Me cross stitch from Subversive Cross Stitch, I have the book and the calendar cos that is my saying at work. This website is not for the faint of words because the "F" word is tossed around like no one would be offended. I find most of her patterns something I would definitley find a use for. Anyway it is too cool that such a liberal pansy paper would write a large article such as this. BTW they list this book and the Dominitrix as more kinky craft books.

Back to the comics, must see what bucky cat is up to.

Tote Exhange IV

Here is the tote I made, it did not work out right so i redid it. The yarn is Plymouth Tweed, it felted soft but not very much. I made an eye glass case to go withit and filled it with some other goodies. I hope she likes it. I am so glad to be done with this.

BTW the kite is still in the tree.

License To Wed

I love Robin Williams, I don't care what he is doing, he is so funny and can you imagine how his brain works? It makes mine hurt to think bout it. I saw the movie, I loved it and it is funny. The kid that plays his mentee is great, looks just like one of the guys I work with.

Hope everyone had a great 4th, being allergic to sulfur stuff I can't sit outside and watch the fireworks but I am privileged to see them from about every window in my house.

I woke up on the 5th to find someone sleeping in their car outside my living room window. Freaked me out cos I did not know if he was alseep or dead. Called the cops, he was just asleep, I DO NOT live in a neighborhood where you sleep in your car.

The dreaded Tote IV bag is finally done, sure did not turn out like it was supposed to but I would carry it so I am sending it in the mail this afternoon. I will post pics this evening when I get home.

Now on to my DDS exchange.
