Yay internets!

But not from Comcast. We still don't have their Internet but it was getting ridiculous so we asked AT&T about a month to month plan and they were like "we can get you reconnected today!" So I was like, yup, fuck Comcast I need internets. So we're still waiting on them because we need the faster speeds with both of us gaming online, but we at least have something until they get their shit together. 

In other news I've been working on the loom because my wrist has been giving me problems and it's the least wrist intensive. Now to find some food, and prepare a little for starting a new gym program. I'm finally going to be not fat.

Still noooo internets

So we are like day 12 or 13 of no Internet. I officially hate Comcast. And Starbucks will put a shot of espresso in a vanilla bean frappe thing and it tastes like awesome.

I've worked a little on the cream scarf. Went to the gym. Took a nap. Pretty productive if you ask me.

Serious Face!

Okay, so I had a moment at like 2am where I had to go through and reorganize all the yarn projects in the house. I pulled one out because I really don't know if (a) I like the direction it's going or (b) I know the direction it was going so I pulled it, rewrapped, and put it back with the other unused yarn.

After inventory I have:

3 scarves (2 weave stitch 1 awkward knit)
1 cowl on the loom

I thought it would be a lot more too. It's not. Granted I also have two blankets, but one's the scrap and the other will never be done and I just have to accept that. BUT! Those listed will be the ones I finish first, hopefully by then I will have either found my embroidery needles, or I will have made enough money to get a few more. Then I can continue work on Epic Pokemon and get most of it done before I get the itch to do something else.

I have a lot of funny cross stitches to do. I am excited about those, but I promised myself, as I was buying the 105 floss colors that I didn't have, that I would do at least 70% of Epic Pokemon before I started anything else.

Now, here are the pictures of everything as they are right now, with my dog as a model because she is such a good little model.

Weave stitch #2

Cowl on ze loom

And awkward knit.

That being done, I need a Xanax... Because its 3am and I can't calm down.

And I have to work in the morning because someone has to put food on the table. Preferably bacon.

Well, if I don't have internets

I might as well be productive... I've got quite a few projects that need to be tended to and with no Internet/FFXIV to occupy my time between sleeping and working I might as well finish and/or make some kind of progress. I mean lets face it... work, sleep, and video games is really all I do. 

I still can't find my embroidery needles and I know as soon as I buy more they'll fucking show up. It happens every freaking time. I mean I have one and it'll get me by on Epic Pokemon but being able to have a few colors going makes it easier to count stitches and to not get bored. For now though I have a blanket, two scarves, and a shawl to finish.

Also, I love my father but sometimes he takes forever to do things... I really want my sewing machine. I have things to fix and alter... Oh well... It will happen. I just have to wait.
