Squish-Slip Scarf

I made this scarf in about 3 hours. It was super easy and fast.





Materials:
size 50 needles (25mm)
2 Skeins of Lion Brand Thick and Quick (any super bulky yarn you like works of course) :)

Note* 2 strands of Thick and Quick held together throughout the pattern.

Pattern:
CO 10 Sts
All odd rows: Knit
All Even Rows: *Slip one (as if to knit) Knit one* Repeat to end

Bind off when you either run out of yarn or the scarf is long enough for you.
You can always CO more stitches if you want a wider scarf you just won't have as long as a scarf as mine turned out unless you add more yarn of course.

It's squishy and soft I love it! one side looks loopy and the other looks bumpy. Neither side really looks like a wrong side but I like the loopy side more.

I hope you like your scarf as much as I like mine, it's easy and fast and is a great quick knit gift.

Birthday weekend

So this weekend was my birthday. Sunday to be exact. Well Saturday I want out to dinner with my 2 best guy friends and one of my best girl friends (Fez, Tony, and Kesia) we ate at Pokez; a Mexican food place in Downtown that has vegan options. Then I went to a local dive bar that was so much fun my drinks were taken care of all night because we know the owner. I got drunk and had a lot of fun since I am usually the D.D.

Then on Sunday I went to eat at The Mission a really great breakfast place. After that I was off to my tattoo appointment. I got a Dr. Seuss sleeve and I am in so much pain today. lol. The actual tattoo didn't hurt as much as I was expecting. It took about 3 hours so far and we got 95% of the lines done. We skipped the inside of my upper arm because it was already 3 hours and took a lot out of us both (my tattooist and me). I have gotten a lot of good response and the only one that was negative really is my mom is upset I got such a large tattoo. here are the pictures of them, if you click on them they get bigger.

Vindication, well a little taste of it...

I got my wireless Internet to work at 3 in the morning finally!!! oh man i feel so dumb it was such an easy fix too. Oh well.

I am so happy to have a day off. And you know what, the first thing today someone tries to get me to cover their shift, hmm 9 days working in a row, again, no thanks.

I went and bought an i pod Shuffle (I can't believe I gave in and bought an i pod) but it's only for the gym, mine is kind of large and I don't want to buy an arm band that it only kind of fits in. Besides if I loose all my music I would be so sad and the shuffle was the best bang for the buck of what I was looking for.

I need to finish the pair to wrist warmer/fingerless gloves I'm working on. I have so many things I "have" to make and I am trying to knock them out because I want to make a sweater for me, and start making scarfs and hats that I can sell. I'm going to start making knitting cell charms. So far we have about 5 or 6 balls of crimson red "yarn" balls. I'm just waiting on the nylon little cords to come and then I'll post a picture.

Here we go

I've decided to start a blog as a way to get some of these things out of my head.
My name is Julie I'm 3 days to 24 and I'm so very tired of the blah-ness of it all.
I work at Chili's, I work a lot. 6 days a week almost every week.
I knit and I love it so much, I try to do it everyday but that doesn't happen as often as I would like.
I am single but never have time to meet anyone because I'm always working and way too tired to go out. Besides I so don't want to meet someone at a bar.
I joined the gym about 3 weeks ago and I am going but not as often as I would like to, once again work = too tired to live.
I have a pug that is my baby she is so funny and weird it's great. I used to take her to dog park but she is scared of all the other dogs.


So today:
I'm tired my manager's are treating me like shit, well really only one. Like just because one freaking table says that I was rude it negates that like almost every other table says that I am such a nice girl and a wonderful server etc.. ugh! I could spit! Apparently I'm the only person at work that can't call in sick because I'm the only person that can call in at 11:30 in the morning say I'm sick and still have to come in and close that night.

My car is crap. Money is coming in and so I hope I can get out of debt. I want to buy a new car so bad. I think I want the Nissan Rouge (I might go test drive one tomorrow).

I washed one of my Nintendo DS games. It still works but man that sucked!

I can't get my wireless Internet to work and I am super pissed about that.

I really wish I had time to find a new job; but all I know is the food service industry, that is what I went to school for, that is what all of my jobs have been for the past 6 years.

My birthday is Sunday and I am going to start my half sleeve (oh yeah I have 9 tattoos so far and this will be the start of my largest). I am so excited but nervous. I think my mom is going to flip out on me. Oh well it's my life and my body.

I think I might go to the gym right now. It's 1 in the morning but I don't know I'm not tired but I don't think it's safe to go at this time of day alone... maybe I'll just go in the morning for a long time. I just want to be able to shop at the majority of stores so bad!!! I don't want to be restricted to like 4 stores and the smallest section of the other stores with the worst selection!!!!!!!

I'm going to go knit want watch tv...
