Its a sad, sad day...

The Knotty Girl's ghetto camera is no more.

Sigh...it died St. Patrick's night, along with all the photos on my memory card.

I've seen it coming for some time now, but it still hurts. Deeply. Now what I am going to do? Rely on my crappy camera phone?

I apologize in advance for the lack of photos during my mourning.

Its a good day to be Irish!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day Kids!

So today is St. Patrick’s Day. Do you know what this holiday is all about? I know that I celebrate with green beer each year but there really is a meaning behind this great day!

St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. Scotland born Patrick traveled and converted the Irish people for over 40 years and used the shamrock to explain the trinity to the people of Ireland. St. Patrick’s Day is to celebrate not St. Patrick’s birth but actually his death and its considered a feast day in the Catholic religion. As many of you have read, the Catholic church has actually granted a dispensation for eating meat this Friday so that people can enjoy a classic feast of corned beef and cabbage. Now being the crappy Irish girl that I am, I don’t eat meat…ever. So I will celebrate with beer which is one of the major food groups in Ireland. What? Its true! ;)

In knitting news…
Normally I’m one of the laziest people in the world. But I’ve turned over a new leaf (or shamrock!)…at least for the last week or so.

Look what I’ve finished!



Oh yea…the Knotty Girl is booking along! Now who is the lucky receiver?! You will just have to wait and see. ;)


Everyone have a great day! Be safe, be merry, and Erin Go Braugh!

Lets play a game...

What do


And



have in common?

No idea? Well it’s the ever so lovely Odessa

BUT! Its not for me! Who is it for you might ask? Well…you will just have to stay tuned to see.  I love surprises…especially when I know what the surprise is!

In other knitting news…

Bobblicious is coming along swimmingly. Its about 50% done. I’m a little nervous about the whole seaming thing. Its not a lot to do on this project, but I suck in general at doing it. I decided to sign up for a class at my LYS to learn a little more about finishing so hopefully I can finish this project off nicely.

I made a super cute chunky neckwarmer the other day with some fun funky yarn I had hanging around. I even got to make a pit stop past a button store (who knew that stores existed for the sole purpose of selling buttons!). Pictures will be coming shortly.

Speaking of pictures…can I just tell you that I have the most ghetto camera in the world. GHETTO. I drop it constantly. I leave it in my purse. I leave it on the floor of my room. It rolls around my car floorboard. Do you know what happens when you treat your camera in such a naughty way?

That is the bottom of my camera where the battery cover was just hanging there for a bit (with duct tape over it). However, on Saturday I dropped it while I was climbing over a fence (another story) and this is the product of that mishap. No battery cover…just duct tape. How sad is that?!

Here is another view from the front.

Notice all the scratches on the lens part. Yea…I’m cool. Sigh… One day The Knotty Girl will buy a new camera. Until then I'm ghettoing it up all over Boston. :)

One day I'll be cool.
