I also grabbed a skein of blue to maybe put in a stripe at the very end of the scarf to see if it might be nice. i wonder if it's too girly. what do you think? gimme your opinion! hhehe|W|P|113254393867380562|W|P|Chocolate Seed Stitch|W|P|purse.ho@gmail.com11/20/2005 10:14:00 PM|W|P| Anonymous|W|P|I don't see anything girly11/21/2005 07:22:00 PM|W|P| Anonymous|W|P|looks good!! it's not girly - brown is a great color for a guy and the stitches look great. =)

BIGGER!! if you see the set of bootees, the key is just a bit smaller than the pair of bootees. but no...the solo bootee...it's GIGANTIC!!!!!! it can't be me. when i first got this book..i thought it was all me. but i'm a bit more seasoned now...i know more of what i do. i don't think it's me!! WHY?? hahaah i'm working on a bunch of scarves for my family. we are going to Toronto right after Christmas and it's going to be COOOOOLLLLLDDDDD. us hicks in Texas do'nt know what cold is until we go up north. :) i'm excited. i picked out all the yarns for my family. I got chocolate brown Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Superchunky for my brother. i'm working on a seed stitch scarf for him. for my mom...i got the grande Baby Alpaca in burgundy red. then for my dad...i got some multicolor Encore. pics will be shown later. :)|W|P|113237895610563451|W|P|Baby Bootees part Deux|W|P|purse.ho@gmail.com11/21/2005 08:43:00 AM|W|P| Anonymous|W|P|These oversized booties are great mobile phone cozies! :)11/14/2005 10:31:00 PM|W|P|Jen Da Purse Ho|W|P|I'm still on an erasure/andy bell high. hahaha. I'm trying to make some baby bootees for a shower this weekend. i wanted to make like 5 pair. i have the 50 baby bootees to knit book. Man...i made a couple of pairs out of this book previously. but this was when i picked up knitting again and thought i was doing stuff wrong. i'm a bit more seasoned now (not bragging)....and the textured cuff bootees i made came out GIGANTIC. i was all "*#$!! these could fit ME". i did it according to pattern, needle size and same size yarn. what the F. so i had to shrink it down a bit...and they look more like a bootee rather than a freakishly small shoe. i'm kind of mad! b/c i spent like 3 hours doing that one bootee (i was distracted while watching Desperate housewives and grey's anatomy). i'll show pics later. i didn't feel like whipping out the camera tonight. :0 is something wrong? jennifer doesn't want to take pics? what day is this? note the time..... sigh. I had dinner w/ an aunt and uncle that were in town on business. I'm not too fond of this aunt b/c in the past...she has a tackless way of talking to people. like every year i saw her...she would say "dang. you got fat". so you can see why i didn't want to talk to her too often. and i'm not exactly thin...so i was dreading seeing her today. i was even thinking of just telling her i made other plans...but i felt guilty. my aunt has really mellowed out since i last saw her 5 years ago. so dinner was ok. she was really nice. i'm in shock. we went to a buffet in Plano that was....pretty good. so freaking pricey though. they had lobster on the buffet!! LOBSTER! too bad i dont enjoy it. hahaha. too difficult to eat..too much messy. i'm sleepy...food coma. :)|W|P|113202945418280196|W|P|Baby Bootees|W|P|purse.ho@gmail.com11/15/2005 12:20:00 AM|W|P| Anonymous|W|P|lobster!!! ugh, i know what you mean about avoiding some family. sometimes you know how chinese people are so tackless, and even the "fat" comments are supposed to be a compliment. if she says that comment in the future, i'd totally act ROYALLY OFFENDED and make a fuss about it, so the next time she'll think twice about opening her mouth. to hell with being the obedient nice chinese daughter/niece/whatever. haha11/16/2005 08:00:00 AM|W|P| Anonymous|W|P|That's the nice thing about having a fat family. Nobody would call me fat because of the whole pot, kettle, black thing!11/16/2005 10:15:00 AM|W|P| Anonymous|W|P|Again with the bootees being too big?! What is it with the patterns in that book? Glad it's not just me. Glad to hear your aunt visit went better than expected.11/17/2005 05:15:00 PM|W|P| Anonymous|W|P|I love lobster! But it is terribly messy as you say. I only eat the tail and large claws, the other thingies are just too much trouble.

Asian families...*sigh*...they can be so aggravating, eh? I am Filipino and my mother's family is huge. Whenever the sisters get together they insult each other and cackle all night long. But in a good way.11/18/2005 10:43:00 PM|W|P| Anonymous|W|P|ha ha ha...you so crazy...those booties were BIG11/12/2005 04:02:00 AM|W|P|Jen Da Purse Ho|W|P|omg....tonight was freaking awesome. last week i was checking out when erasure was coming back to town so i could see them again. my surprise...Andy Bell was going to be in town on 11/11 dj'ing at Lizard Lounge.

i asked Bot-Gurl a few days ago....she said she might want to go. i called her a few times tonight before i went...she didnt answer her phone. I think she was working or something...maybe her phone was dead. :( i wasn't going to miss out! i went SOLO!!! and man..i'm glad i did. I've been out of the club circuit for quite some time now..i'm an old fart. So the flyer said that it started at 9p. i guess i misunderstood. The doors open at 9p. the show started at like MIDNIGHT! so i was just chillin....people watching. it was a good night to go. ALL my favorites were played in the club tonight. anything box, new order, erasure, depeche mode, etc. so awesome. then Andy Bell came out! DJ'ing! it was so exciting!

So this was when i was on the balcony. hehehe. then i had to go to the bathroom. I ddin't want to lose my place upstairs...but man...i stayed downstairs and got even better pictures.

this is when he was grabbing cd's to play. i was trying to hand him a $5 bill so he could sign it for me. hahahaa. i had nothing on me for him to sign...no cd covers...nada. but i had a SHARPIE!!! ahahahaha well, i had the chance to ask him...but i got SHY!! then when i got the nerve to do it...he ended his DJ set and grabbed a mike to sing. CRAP! he finished playing and then he sang FOUR songs from his new cd. man...it was awesome. He sang "Crazy", "Love Oneself, "Shaking My Soul," and "electric Blue". i took some video w/ my camera...but it came out kind of bad. hahaha. i was hoping for some oldies..."Oh L'Amour", "blue savannah", etc...but nah. he went into the crowd and shook hands and everything. so awesome! Then after he sang...and we were all screaming ourselves hoarse...they announced he would be signing autographs and taking pics!! so of course..i ran up to where they were doing this and waited in line. I made a friend in line...mainly b/c i had a camera and he wanted a pic w/ Andy Bell. a fellow fan...Jason. hahaa. he was very nice. there was some drunkard leaning on the wall...then he started sloshing over to me where he proceeded to lean on me w/ his sweaty hands for about 15 min as we waited in line. hahaah. i was scared he was goign to grab my ass!! not that it's so lushious and grabbable...but b/c i didn't want to be a bitch to a poor drunk guy! i kept pushing him away...hoping he would fall over and leave me alone. but that is mean. tee-hee. My new friend Jason and i commented on all the hot guys walking around us. hAHAHA. he's a BIG erasure/DM fan. i was amazed at some of the stories he told me. apparently he hits ALOT of shows...all over the place! and he even goes to the hotels the groups stay at w/ hopes to hang out. Apparently after the DM concert a couple of days ago...he got to meet the members of DM. i'm jealous! So anyway.....i got a picture with Andy Bell and an autograph!! it was so exciting! i just kept telling him "I have loved you since i was like EIGHT YEARS OLD!" but i don't think he heard me. hahaha. i think he wanted to go home already. hahahaha

THAT'S ANDY BELL!!! LOOK!! HE"S HOLDING MY SHARPIE!! hahahahah!! (please ignore the fatness that is my gut) i was getting sleepy as i was waiting for him to start playing...now i'm all hyped up i can't sleep!! crap!! hahaha. I called my brother right when i left the club at like 230a (he's still up)...and i was all AAAH! YOU WON"T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED!!!! steve's response: why the freak are you calling me so late? hahahaha|W|P|113179007126693533|W|P|OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG|W|P|purse.ho@gmail.com11/13/2005 12:20:00 PM|W|P| Anonymous|W|P|Is Bot-Girl kicking herself?! I would be!11/10/2005 11:28:00 PM|W|P|Jen Da Purse Ho|W|P|I've started spinning! I was inspired whenever i saw Mary Jane spinning when i first started hanging out at Simpatico. Inspiration really stuck when someone came into the store w/ a castle-style spinning wheel and it was small...and the right price. ;) I let it sit at the store for over a week b/c i was a bit intimidated to try it on my own...but me spinning at the store was very nerve wracking. i was very nervous and kept screwing up. but i brought it home last night...and i'm happy to say i think i'm getting the hang of it! i filled up a whole bobbin! i'm working on the 2nd bobbin and then i'm going to ply them together! look at me! i know new lingo! hahahaha My friend Mario made me a niddy noddy when i showed him one made of PVC pipe. Look at my niddy noddy..it's 12" long. :) hehehe. i want to paint it purple. can you paint pvc pipe?

This is the 2nd bobbin i'm filling up. :)

It's a sleeping beauty spinning wheel!|W|P|113168740740713735|W|P|you spin me round round spinnin round round....|W|P|purse.ho@gmail.com11/11/2005 07:43:00 AM|W|P| Anonymous|W|P|Oh, I am GREEN with envy! That is so cool that you found a wheel, and one with such a fairy-tale name, too!

As for painting PVC, Krylon just came out with a spraypaint formulated for use on plastic -- check with your Home Depot or Lowes!11/11/2005 09:22:00 AM|W|P| Anonymous|W|P|Wow - nice wheel(s)! he he I like your sleeping beauty wheel and am very impressed. I'm a bit scared myself of any spinning and the such.

As for the niddy-noddy that Mario made for you - did he find instructions on the web, or make them up as he went? I'd love to make one myself.11/11/2005 06:06:00 PM|W|P| Anonymous|W|P|Did you know that you can also use PVC pipe to make a Didgeridoo? I found that out in Australia. Surely you can paint your niddy noddy. Just need to make sure the color doesn't come off on the yarn. Very creative noddy, btw.11/11/2005 08:57:00 PM|W|P| Anonymous|W|P|B taped my niddy noddy like he used to tape his drum sticks in high school. So far, the tape is holding steady. :)11/09/2005 10:28:00 PM|W|P|Jen Da Purse Ho|W|P|i went and saw depeche mode last night. it was freaking awesome.

I didn't have AWESOME seats...but they were good seats, nonetheless. Im' on a DM high right now. i went w/ BotGurl and she wrote down the songs as they were sung. she was all "i'm going to make my own concert cd". hahahahaha. DORK! but a funny dork. Check out her blog to see the details about the show. i had such a good time....i remember so much of it...but she's good. it's like you are there when she tells you about it. hehehe. we rode the train up there to avoid paying $20 parking fees...and the train was only $2.50! freaking sweeet!! and the train was so clean and relaxing. this was my first time riding public transport since i lived here. i was pretty impressed. too bad i can't ride the train every day to class and work. i had a great time. i heard many of my favorites...esp just can't get enough. i was so happy. This weekend Andy Bell of Erasure is DJ'ing at a local club. i think i'm going to go...even if i have to go solo. hehee. i had such a good time at the Erasure concert. i know they won't be singing singing...but i think i just wanna hear them do their thing and such. |W|P|113159698620911698|W|P|I just can't get enough|W|P|purse.ho@gmail.com11/11/2005 08:59:00 PM|W|P| Anonymous|W|P|I am so jealous you went to see Depeche Mode!
