I ordered 2045 yards of yarn last night.
I may have a problem.
(Not really though because it was an awesome deal and it’s white 100% wool so I can dye it to any color I want.)
It’s still a crazy amount though.

Evie just got home!
She left with my dad around noon and he just brought her back! I missed that little girl so much! I didn’t know what to do with myself while she was gone.

It's been a long couple of days.
My grandma’s wake was Wednesday and as soon as I saw her I broke down into an ugly crying mess. I had to go outside to find some sort of composure. She looked beautiful in her blue dress. My grandpa tried to hold it together as best as he could but every so often, that tough old man couldn’t keep it in and he’d start to cry and that broke my heart even more. SO many people came....
I have caffeinated water in my fridge
But I’m too tired to get it.

Censorship is fun, huh?
I’ve censored the following, in protest of a bill that gives any corporation and the US government the power to censor the internet—a bill that could pass THIS WEEK. To see the uncensored text, and to stop internet censorship, visit: AmericanCensorship.org.

Hey knitters!
I want to buy a set of circular needles because I have the money and if I don’t do it now, I never will. The book I’m learning from (Stitch’n Bitch, The Knitter’s Handbook) has three different sizes it says I should buy, along with straight and double pointed needles, but I can’t buy all three circular sets right now. She says to buy a 32” set, a 24” and a...

I’d love the distraction.
(Also, to everyone who cares, I’m finally getting a new phone in 3 to 5 days so I’ll be able to text again! Expect a barrage!)

She was fine a month ago.
How the hell did this happen so fast? She was supposed to be around long enough for Evie to remember her. She was supposed to show Evie the greatness of thrift stores and how to act like the world was at her feet. She was supposed to teach her how to tell if a pie crust was handmade but not how to actually make it because we are supposed to be served the best, not know how to make it ourselves.

My grandma died.
And I started to cry and it upset Evie so much so I’m not going to cry until her naptime but I don’t know if I’ll be able to wait that long.
I’m going to miss her. I’ve never had someone this close to me pass away. I don’t really know how to deal with it. I feel numb, which I’m just fine with right now.

Anonymous asked: Don't worry crumpet. The knitting gets easier <3
Just ordered a printer.
Ah technology. I lived without your grace for so long but no more! Now I will be able to print tiny box templates, crochet patterns and invitations with ease! Oh yeah, and Eric will be able to print his resumes at home, which seems like a nice idea too.

Eric is out to lunch
With his dad, who he hasn’t spoken to since we got married.
I hope it all goes well! I’m sure it will. He was really excited to see him.

Knitting makes me want to punch someone in the face.

The more you do it, the easier it gets. I know that sounds really cliche, but really. Once you find your rhythm, it starts to flow and becomes very meditative.
After I posted that, I put the needles down and crocheted a little bit and it seemed to bring...
Evie is wearing my knee socks
Because it’s freaking cold in here and they go up to her hips. It’s adorable.

I just learned how to cast on!
Well, double cast on. In knitting I mean. I bought those two Stitch ‘N Bitch books and after reading 30 pages in the first one, I’m finally learning how to do something. Not that the beginning of the book was boring, mind you. It was actually very well written and entertaining. I learned a lot of things I didn’t know before, much to Eric’s chagrin. (Whenever I get excited...

Sad pants.
Eric didn’t find the Bunny. He had a guy that worked there helping him look in every fold of every bounce house to no avail. Eric even made an announcement to all the people there about the lost Bunny and how he’d pay anyone who found it $20 and while he said there must have been 25 kids and 15 adults looking, no one found anything. He did get a lot of sympathy from the mothers there...

My dad took Evie today.
They went to the bounce place and they were gone for a really long time so when they came back I expected Evie to run to me and give me hugs with a smile on her face but instead, I saw a sobbing Evie run through my door.
They lost her Bunny! My dad tried making it sound like it wasn’t his fault because “it’s hard to keep track of what she does with it” but that’s...

Evie’s face broke out with eczema again last night but this time her one cheek is swollen. I have no idea if this is normal so we made an appointment for her tomorrow but I wish I could do something for her now…
