Strollin Kat has something to say

Wednesday, August 30, 2006

Many people have asked why I gave birth to a preemie. My family has a genetic malfunction. In spite of being sports minded, healthy and slender. We never smoked or did drugs and wouldn't even take caffeine whilst pregnant, we had premature births.
Our women folk have incompetent cervixes. It effects 50% percent of my family. We did not share our family information until it was too late for seven children in our family. The newest generation may escape the painful history. I pray they do. McDonald Cerclage saved many of my cousins, my niece and my nephews.

You Have a Sanguine Temperament



You are an optimistic person who is easily content.

You enjoy casual, light tasks - never wanting to delve too deep into anything.

A bit fickle, it's easy for you to change plans or paths when presented with something better.



You enjoy all of the great things life has to offer - food, friends, and fun.

A great talker, you can keep the conversation going for hours.

You are optimistic and sure of your success. If you fail, you don't worry about it too much.



At your worst, you are vain. You are obsessed with your own attractiveness.

A horrible flirt, you tend to jump into love affairs and relationship drama easily.

You're very jealous - which just magnifies the craziness around you.

Okay Lets play a game which is whiter... my hubbies leg- or the curtain behind him?
Dear Hubby models my first attempt of a bootie sock.






Okay, I am having a blast. Problem is, time is hard to come by.
Can you believe school has already started? Even the local College.
Next week the tiny tots return and free time for this mom is now fleeting.
I work part time outside of the home and I am a full time mom.
Once you sign up for the job you are a full time mom.



Back to knitting...Someone asked why Knit hats? Well, it keeps my brain busy.
More importantly hats and other wonderful home made made with love things can be donated to Charities.

Such as these:

I will never forget the tiny booties and hats that unnamed folks
knitted for my baby. To keep her tiny head and feet warm. Every day a new pair and every day a new prayer.
I will never be able to say how grateful I was then and remain.
I have two knitted pairs of booties, a lock of blonde hair and few photos, the mere
keepsake of my baby. The memories of course: scarred forever in my heart.
So that is why hats, booties, and blankets. I an trying to learn as quickly as I can.
If you can, get involved. Please.

Katrina --

[adjective]:

Extremely extreme!



'How will you be defined in the dictionary?' at QuizGalaxy.com

Knit Knit- Purl Purl - round and round we go





Blue loom is the start of my first Christmas Bootie. Using Caron Yarn.
All I can say is, Big foot where are you Boy? I need you to wear these
booties for me. Chances are this will be another frog 'fore long.

Knit Knit- Purl Purl - round and round we go and we make a big mess. Frog it and start again.Then somehow a another hat is born. (english teachers hate sentences that begin with 'Then')<-- mindless thought.
You can never have too many so they say- hats, that is. Mindless thoughts, well they are just naturally born. What is a mindless thought? How can a thought come from something mindless? ( I am awfully good at it)

At any rate. I am now on my third real project. A scarf not shown and 5th project- another hat. Matching the second finished hat, ( yellow loom) a couple of love birds, will wear them to annoy the unloving and fashion police.

WEAR WHAT YOU WANT! NO ONE GETS OUT ALIVE! LIFE IS SHORT!

Look what I can do... see the pictures!

Never in a zillion years would I think I would take up a knitting tool of any sort, Not that I believe it is anti feminist, I think anything a person wants to learn is a positive step for all kind. I am just - all fumbles... yes my skills are less then a monkeys when It comes to using my hands. Everything would be great if my fingers weren't involved. Really tho'- Monkeys are very agile, positively fleet footed. Another statement to ponder.

Looms- an old fashioned craft brought back for the new fun fur crowd. Cute Stuff!

Yellow Loom is using Lion Brand... homespun... two strands. I love the feel of it. Heavy and lovely. Feels like it would wick the wet snow from your head as you build a snowman. I love it. And yes I used the yellow loom. Adult loom. I am the only one in my family that has a smallish head. Less Brains then the rest. I got the looks.( Woot?) And we still haven't made any money. Ponder that for awhile, think 80's tune's (Brains Looks, lets make lots of money) go get an ipod. Hey did you know people knit covers for those?
