woo long time

Well I've been up to a lot! And yet not much. I dressed as Sarah Palin for Halloween, got to get to a real knitting store, as well as doing loooots and lots of other stuff that I can't remember.

First thing: I have a Twitter feed now! Go there and revel in the minutae of my uninteresting life.

Second thing: I'm working on a niiiice big project now, cobbled together from four patterns.

Third thing: holy shiznat batman the English Gothic & Lolita Bible rufflytieredskirt from the second volume? Yeah the pattern is pretty much shite. It's far too short (my petticoat sticks out like four inches from the bottom), the directions are extremely incomplete (um...where does the zipper go?!), and it's basically turning the skirt of my dress into a slight mess. I'm having to add on another layer in order to make it long enough and I'm just not sure where it needs to go...Argh, argh, AAARGH!!!

Fourth thing: I have to be insane, because I am using a doll pinafore pattern for Blythe to make me a pattern piece for the top of my apron for this Big Project.

Fifth thing: Must..keep...working...@_@ Can't stop to blog...

Sixth thing: oh yeah and I keep running out of ruffle. BUGGER. It's expensive too, $4.49 a yard. :<
