79 day till christmas, 178 days till the wedding

ugh another night with no sleep! between stressing out about christmas and trying like all hell to try and figure out a honeymoon that we can afford, and madly trying to get my christmas knitting all done in time there is just not enough hours in a day.

Godfuckingdamnit why does everything have to be so bloody expensive? So This morning i have a few things sorted.

1 I can afford the wedding, but i can't afford a honeymoon that eveyone is happy with.

2 I reallly really really need to get a job or two. Someone who can work around Dale (my man) shifts cause we cant afford a babysitter, not when they charge what we earn an hour.

3 i was hopeing to have a little money for christmas as Dale doesn't like anything knitted (I'm hopeing the wedding present is the exception to the rule)so i could buy him a present, but if i want to get married in april thats not a possibility. Now i have no idea what to give him.

4 the present list... well mostly anyway.

* My sister garter stitch scarf 100% done














* My step-dad's red yarn vomit scarf 60% done














Pattern can be found here Yarn Vomit Sarf

* Lana assorted knitted foods for her dolls to have picnics with. Not started yet. I also have some dvd read along books i got on special for $3 that i have stashed away. Would really like to get her a bike from santa, but i just don't think its feasable. Maybe ii could ask the grandparents to be santa this year?

* My step mother Party lace scarf Not started yet, not sure if i can afford new yarn for it, it needs lace weight and i dont have anything close to thin enough.
Pattern can be found here Party lace scarf

* My dad rug made from t-shirt yarn. Not started yet.

* My little brother I would love to make him a doctor who scarf, but once again i dont think i can afford the yarn

* littlest step brother NO IDEA!!!

* Mum i cant deecide between a mobius scarf and a chunky braided scarf. I'll probable leave it till last and llet time dictate which one i choose

And thats the list!

Christmas decorations done so far:

knitted tinsel.



Pattern is very easy one ball of eyelash yarn, size 10 1/2 us dpn's.

CO 3 stitches, (5 for thicker tinsel) and knit i-cord until tinsel is the desired length. weave in the ends. TADA! i think it would look extra christmasy in metalic eyelash yarn (if such a thing exsists, but i have yet to find any.)


And Bows for the presents upcycled from old magazine pages.
