A long walk on the beach today, it wasn't too cold but it was very surreal & cool no one was there just a few people and their dogs. we walked for about 1hr. I love it there when no one is out there in the winter. you have to see all the rich houses, it makes me sick.

West Hampton Beach.

Ok here is the story of right before I met Mark. My friend Carol and her cousin took me to West Hampton beach in like January three years ago. It was really beautiful And cold but it was worth it. So Carol says that when she goes there she feels cleansed and all the spiritual stuff. So when I was there with her and momo. That's what we her call cousin. Right before we left I looked up and said something like as if someone was there and made a wish to find someone really nice and get to the next step in my life. And that was it in the next two weeks I met mark and that was it he was my wish. So about a month later Mark, Carol, momo, and I went back to the beach all together and it was so funny we had a great time. It was still cold mind you .... But all the rest is history. So we try to go every so often just to bring back the memories. So about three years ago last week it all started.

New yarn came from turkey. I found it on eBay. It has been waiting at the post office for 3 day's had to sign for it and I couldn't pick it up because it was under his name. I was so mad. I like it a lot but don't know what to do with it. I have 10 Sceins of it.

Did I say I love my CAT!!!!!!!!
Posted by Hello

I love my cat. He is the best . I dont have kids yet. so this is my child.
I have never had a cat long enough to really understand the affection that a cat can give to you. It is the best thing in the world.

Almost done. I just put it together this morning. I like it a lot but it seems to be too short. But I measured it and they are right. I think I should have made it a little longer and adjusted it as i go. I hope after I finish the edges I can wear it.

This is the inside of the jean needle roll . It took me a while to figure it out I got it off the midnight knitter, She has a great blog. I really like her site.

I made this a long time ago when I started to quilt. I got the pattern from the midnight knitter. She has a great blog. I cut up an old pair of jeans and cut the butt out and sewed around it and lined the inside with fabric. Then stiched pockets for my needles . I could of done a better job but I was kind of working blind, I didn't understand what it was saying and I had to read the instructions over and over again. so it took me a while, I really gave my sewing machine a workout.

Knitting is my passion

Hello all knitters
Name: Charisse
Occupation: for all of you that know me and My Thursday outift.
Im a Dental Assistant.
Age:28
Married and love it.
I love my parents. I think my mom is the most amazing mom in the world. she's a very strong person, she has been through a whole lot in her life. And she is still kicking, She is my Idol. I know my parents are very proud of me and they love my unconditionally. And I love them both Unconditonally. I have a brother, We were really close at once but we are six years apart and we split apart when I was about 17. I do love him too. I just wish I can change a few things.
I have a lot of great people in my life and I can't imagine my life any other way.
I met my husband and I love him to pieces. He really is the one who changed my life I often wonder where i would be today. and if i would be happy if i did'nt meet him. There is so much more to say about my life , but it would take to long to go on
But enough about the sappy stuff, and I have to tell you how I started. My future mother inlaw at the time taught me and I loved it so much I took off with it. And I have been knitting for three and a half years. I remember She had projects all over the house and I would sit up stairs By the computer and I always looked at the scarf that she was working on, on the computer chair. Then one day I asked her if she can teach me. It did take me a while till I stopped with the scarfs and moved on to the good stuff. I made a ton of scarfs and then knitted my first sweater, It was a kit my mom inlaw gave to me for christmas one year It was so funny I have to take a picture of it to show you guys, and all my projects over the years. And then I knitted a lot of hats and then I made in all colors the sitch and bitch loopy cowl neck, I had so much fun with them i love to knit in the round. and then ponchos in the round. And now I was really turned on to making and felting bags by this woman in the LYS , she is so cool and very sweet. So that is my next project.I can not wait. I am going to using lambs pride in fushia light pink Lime green, you can see it in pictures I posted. I am very excited......
I have to update my blog in the next week and I will take pictures of every thing so you can see. And I have to learn how to use this blog better.
