I Am Legend! Ok, Accused of Stalking...

I don't mean to bring up He who must not be named again, but it's sort of your fault...




I was accused of stalking Daniel Craig by the Ogre!!!


He caught me watching Daniel Craig in love (please resend link-I have been banned from watching it) while I was supposed to be cooking dinner-no wonder dinner is always burned.


He thought I had somehow set up video link into Daniel's real flat. Yes, because I am internet crime magnet living in Michigan with spies all over the world.

Currently in the field, spy 47

I would so drive a nicer car that doesn't bottom out in the drive way.
Anyway, I am an international woman of mystery with extreme spy skills. If only knitting paid so well.

We are the Crafty International Bad Ass Duo!

Dear Kristina, or Canadian A Broad, or A Canadian Yarnie in Europe,

Ok, so you are a bit more International Woman of Intrigue than I am, but well, I am holding my own on the Bad Ass part. Ok, I am at least sassy.

I won't post photos since you are photo upload challenged right now. Ok, I am just freakishly lazy. But I am making mad progress on my Garden Gate Scarf and will soon be adding loud orange and fuchsia flowers to the blue and green gate back ground. It's so kicky.

Now, to torture the scarf pattern into hat form...I have just enough of a chunk of hair left for a side spit curl. Bless this 9 months of Winter Weather! Bring on the next Ice Age! I love hats!

Cheers to Cheap good beer!!!

you madwoman you!

Dear Holly: that is madness indeed! Wish you weren't snowed in, otherwise you could come up here and rearrange my furniture. I would provide cocktails and hoser hats, of course.

I am as well snowed in... mainly because I'm not willing to trudge through 6 inches of snow. JJ has the car. This is all good, though, because I finished my Tilted Duster!!




Of course, I had said to myself this morning: "No knitting until you finish that last bit of office work and do all the laundry". Well, guess what? The knitting is finished and posted, and the laundry just got taken downstairs. As for the office work - I think I'll be burning the midnight oil. Sigh.

Just hoping this will clear up by tomorrow as we are meant to fly out at 9:00 a.m.! Gasp! Wish me luck! They are not as yet predicting that flights will be cancelled... will be posting one last blog post tomorrow AM before I go with fancy umbrellas and stuff so do drop on by... I'm not sure if I'll get the chance to post very much while gone - so if we don't talk, have a fabulous Christmas, hope that Santa is very generous and see you next year!

Cheers,

Kristina

You are Fancy, but Are you Awesome? Awwh, Yeah!

You are super fancy. But are you super silly? Yeah, you would have fit right in with super silly. We hung out in a 140 year old house that was heated only by space heaters, mexican food, and craftiness. I was also warmed by my own bad fashion.



Oh, I also stayed warm by knitting the base for a Carmen Miranda scarf. I have no photographic evidence because my friends have deemed my camera evil and limited my use of it.

How can I take revenge?


I know! I'll stuff them in the coal stove!



Good times.




Spinning dog into gold.


Did I mention the bootlegged soda from Mexico, the chocolate from Europe, the coffee from Guatemala and the yarn from well, all over? All we needed was a knitter/mosaicer from Canada. Yeah, it was pretty sweet. Chilly, but sweet. Sweet as in rad. Like radical, like, awesome. Yeah, it was awesome.
