Knitting for Boozehags

Okay, I think I am ready to fully move on over to www.knittingforboozehags.com so if y'all would be so very kind and update them links, I'd be much obliged.. I'll keep this blog for a bit longer as I move stuff over, but will be posting on the other one from here on!!

Thank you guys! Love you guys!

Things that seem to have dissapeared have been moved to the new site! Don't fret! And please everyone, check the links page for your blogs.... If I forgot anyone (or if you would like to be linked) please email me or leave a comment!

possibly the funniest blog ever! I love this girl! You guys gotta read it!

Goddamnit. There is like a MAJOR fuckup on the Bevin tank. I have no idea how or why, and yes, it's my fault, I sent them the wrong directions on the lace pattern.  (you all know I've got like 2 and a half functioning brain cells left by now, RIGHT??!!)

So the lace pattern is THIS, and THIS I SWEAR IS THE TRUE CORRECTION!!!!

1)(RS) Knit
2) purl
3)(RS) PURL2tog (3x) yo KNIT 1 (5x) PURL2tog 3x*
4) purl

I feel horrible and very blonde, but maybe that's the real Bevin rubbing off on the pattern.. Bevin is an actual blonde, I am just blonde by association.. I shame brunettes abound... There must have been some genetic mutation/mistake.

So, as far as I know, Cara (the poor girl) is the ONLY person who has attempted to knit it or has brought it to my attention and my apologies to her!~

Wow you guys! You have to see what Andrea and Aria have been up too on my new site!!! I dare say so myself, it's GORGEOUS! It's still not completely ready, there's a ton of stuff to do still, but everyone go and see!!

I am just super elated!!!! It's coming along so great! i am so proud!

I'm sorry I have been such a slacker with returning emails and stuff, I've just been busy, but am trying to get back to you all!

Okay, who out there, my dear, dear readers knows ANYTHING about wordpress? I'm giving Aria a major headache and I can't seem to find any simple how to's...

Here is what i need..

To make a banner, change the background colors, add navigation links to the upper toolbar thingy, somehow get a paypal shopping cart on the patterns for sale page, if possible get an rss feed for the links, and I also need how to figure out how to immediately auto-send patterns to the buyer..

HELLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPP! Anyone who helps will get a lifetime supply of my patterns, any or all of them! It's a gift that keeps on giving! Just leave a comment or email me at knittingforboozehags AT gmail DOT com! And if you would like something else other than patterns, I'll work it out with you!

Thank you babies!

PS, I think I may still keep my blogspirit account!

Okay dokey! Thank you all so much for all of the suggestions, advice, answers and whatnots!! ISELA, DIANE, LUCIA, SYLVIE, and ANDREA!!

Andrea has stepped up to the plate and is doing all of the wordpress stuff! This is PERFECT because her site is pretty similar to what I had in mind! So I am just completely ecstatic, elated and downright pysched about that!! Honestly, if it weren't for her, there may have been no new site. I didn't realize at all how very difficult it would be, or how completely inept I am at this shit. My main goal is to just get everything up and running so I can concentrate on other projects, assuming I won't end up in a cold sweat wearing a straightjacket mumbling incoherently things like 'css, rss, theme, template, theme, and I am about to get kicked off of here, so I am going to save and post it up

Okay, I'm back. This "your session is about to expire" stuff is for the birds. So anyways, Andrea rules and i am going to have to do some VERY NICE things for my momma!

And thanks to Sylvie and Isela, who both emailed me with the "payloadz" info, which I am going to do! It works in conjunction with pay pal and is what automatically sends the pattern after payment.

Seriously, girls... I feel so very very lucky to have such a great network of support! I honestly would be utterly lost without all of you helping me out! The biggest thing that sucks is that I can't rally you all together and buy you all drinks!

As for my "other' projects.. I have in the brainstorm department ... a GREAT idea. I can't divulge too much as nothing is solid yet, but let me just say that it will involve a handful of some VERY talented folks. And of course, I'll be knitting my rear end off with new stuff for free and for sale.. Up untill Andrea stepped up, I was feeling extremely overwhelmed! And I do need to do alot of research and homework, so it'll be a while before this all comes to fruition, but I will keep you posted!

Okay, I'm off to pop a vicodin, drink a glass of wine, find my pocket protector and glasses and get all internerdy!

Bevin tank CORRECTION!!!!

There is a TYPO!

On row 4 it should be KNIT not Purl!!

Erika from knitrider

Jen from Craft Lily

And Pam has tagged me! (I think I did one very similar if not the same, but whatever, I know you all are just DYING to know!)

5 CDs in your Player:
1. Coldplay, 2nd album, stolen from Bevin. Even my husband digs it. Gwenyth Paltrow you lucky dog, what a sweet man you got!

2. Hawkwind, I can't remember which one of the top of my head.

3. Unida, the first one. I am terrible with titles, have you noticed? I used to know everything down to the liner notes, old age has mellowed out my music nazi-ism.

4. Kyuss- sky valley. If I had some pot, I'd probably smoke it and listen to this, but it's a soothing album and very summery.

5. Warhorse, Jerry gave us the 1st warhorse cd where this chick Krista (not his wife, Krista) is singing. I like Jerry singing better.

5 Movies You've watched Recently:
Easy peasy, all I do is knit and watch movies..

1. The Machinist

2. The curse

3. A terrible christan slater/stephen dorff/tara reid one

4. american pie 2, regretfully.

5. Sigh, Garfield (yes, as in the cat) about 6 times in a row yesterday.


5 Nice Things That Happened To You Lately

1. Well, my daughter peed on me this morning (that's a sarcastic nice)

2. I got to spend time with Bevin the other day

3. Aria is helping me with the new site (read, pretty much doing EVERYTHING, with me just sending pics and ideas and can we do this and thats)

4. My husband does nice things for me everyday, whether it's a bottle of wine or bringing me home my favorite lasagna *no connection to the garfield movie)

5. My daughter hugged me this morning, said "give me a kiss" and then gave me nosies.. Usually this takes way too much time out of her busy schedule and it's always me asking for them!

5 MP3s on your playlist

Umm, this is easy. I don't do i-pods or mp3's or anything that might put me in modern times. I can't even figure out how to answer a cell phone!

Who shall I pass this onto?

1. Sylvie

2. Aria

3. Jacey

4. Jennifer

5. Erika

I haven't posted  in a while! I have been knitting alot though!

I have a bunch of blocking and finishing touches, so pics soon!

I am adding MORE to the gallery! I've got new photos!

Jess's HALTER top Lelah!!!!!!! Love this! She's got the how-to mods on her blog!

Whose got the hippest MOM ever???? Why it has to be the lovely Miss Erika from Knitrider! She made her mom this!!!!

And,  Jennifer from Craftlily made HER BABY a LELAH!!!! Too cute! I now have to make Helena one immediately! Not to mention that this is another GREAT STASH REDUCER, as you wouldn't need much yarn!

Look at how cute!

So this was my idea for a button. Of course, I couldn't save it with the color I chose, nor the font (imprint mt shadow)... But what do you guys think?

So Tara sent  me this pic this afternoon!!! Check out her "mystery yarn" Lelah! I have ALOT of mystery yarn. Most of it acquired from my mother, from like the 70's and 80's!! So we'll NEVER know what it is! Anyways clicky here!!

And for you computer savvy folks.... HOW DO YOU MAKE BUTTONS?? (for the blog) I think I need one to go with the upcoming website!
