Grumble grumble grumble

holiday knitting continues......and I am grumpy. I have been waking up lately feeling like the living dead. Me no likey. Anyhoo, right this second I am working on a crochet bath puff in Mission Falls 1824 cotton (yumyumyuym) in the most marvelous cool, dark grey. The first one of these I made is still in limbo. I held together some novelty yarn I wouldn't normally knit with the sexiest organic cotton ever made. My MIL is awesome about randomly giving me yarn she finds from her brief knitting career, but the yarns are hard for me to like. I LOVE fibers. Cotton and bamboo and silk and wool and even some polys and acryls and what not, but I do not love fuzzy yarns. I don't really even like mohair. (YET, I never say never) Soooo, I have this poof almost finished, knit with the yarn she gave me, sort of as a thank you. I don't hate knitting with the yarnheldtogetherwithsexycotton, I just don't like what it looks like. Feels ok. not so pretty.

WHAT DOES I DO? RIP OR FINISH? I'll try to post a pic later today when I rescue my camera which I leave at work. Why's it at work, interesting question. I need it to take before and afters when I do eyelash extensions. yurp. you got it. I do eyelash extensions in my momma's shop. oh, it's fun. it is a LOT of fun. I am about to convert to a different product and take some training for the new PLATINUM BOND ADHESIVEooooooooh. One thing I don't like about the world of eyelash extensions: everyone who trains is so freakin stuck up. I almost didn't sign up for training because the trainer, the one who I will pay, was rude to me. ugh. come on now people, come on.

My dad's side of the fam does a name draw for christmas. My mom actually convinced me to knit for the aunt and uncle I drew. Carazy. Let ya know how that turns out.....
