not dragging my feet...being real sure

I can't count the times I've re-knit the blocks for lesson 2 of BBB. I still think they look less than stellar. I have given myself until Friday to redo them as much as I plan to & then off they will go to be looked at by my super nice instructor. Scary stuff.

this past weekend the hubbs and I went to Thomasville Ga. Top Ink Tattoos....Chris Morant is one of the hubbs friends from high school & he & I ...well all 3 of us...came up with this design. If you can't tell it's on my wrists and the yarn ball is a 'screaming' skull...The skull on the skeleton is pretty daggum awesome if you ask me....I'm very pleased. GO by there. You won't be disappointed by anyone there. They are all true artists.

legal mombo jombo: Chris Morant was kind enough to agree to allow me to post this on my blog & on www.ravelry.com no where else, no one else, no ONE, has permission to post this elsewhere or claim these tats as something they created. Chris plans on using this in an upcoming publication & no one wants to get involved in copyright legalities am I right?

should you desire to put this on your site, etc. feel free to contact me directly & I will give you further information about the publication, etc.

of broken foot and tracking mail

I haven't posted on here much because some ugly hit & run incident that left me with at the very least a broken foot. I'm hoping that it's not going to be longer than 6 weeks.

That being said, here's how things stand


I consider this my prep-class for my Masters program & is necessary in my opinion an absolute must for me to feel like I have covered all the bases to have truly earned my masters in this area.
1/13/12-paid for my membership to The Knitting Guild Association and officially starting my road to my masters...basics, basics, basics first
[On My Road To Masters][1] is my blog that I am using to track my progress in this undertaking. lol
AJHoliday1's Channel on YouTube is my reference point for this programs 'how to'.
1/26/12- I don't know if I am prepared enough to send this in. I'm going to have to think on it & re-study and look at the blocks to see if I can fix any of the millions of mistakes. Right now all I can see how I didn't do them exactly right & I don't think that I've blocked them correctly. :( I'm a harsh teacher. I don't know...I'm so unsure.
[HOW TO MASTER][2]
2/13/12-after 2 weeks of hell with my broken foot, etc. after being a victim of hit and run I finally mailed off my lesson 1. I re-knit some of the pieces 8 times because I wasn't satisfied. I'm still not very happy. I'm afraid I will have to re-knit.
