Tangelled Angel

Although I thought I’d have loads of time last week to spend on catching up on blog reading, I found that I didn’t really have the concentration to do so for the periods of time needed to catch up on so many of them….my bloglines is up to 174 can you believe!! Some of these I havent really caught up with since I came back from Italy and you can understand how many posts have built up in each of them since then. 

Occasionally I would make a valiant attempt to read through a few of them, only to come back the next day and find that they had posted again!!! (How dare they!) So I found that I was going to the blogs with the least posts to read, to not have too many posts to catch up on, but that didn’t take away the fact that I was still ignoring the ones with a lot of posts…I tried to bring down the amount of blogs that I read, but though I managed to cut it by a few, of course I find others through regular blogs that I get really excited about…

Oh well.

One of the things that I just found this morning actually, and really liked was from this great blog and the rules say that you should open up google and type in your name followed by likes to, in inverted comma’s, and press go.

So for example “Sara likes to”

Then you copy the first 10 things into your blog.

I did that, then had a look through the next few pages of google and copied the other ones that I liked the look of, just down to pure randomness of them, or because I liked the way they sounded.

Here they all are:

1. Sara likes to do it getting around. “I enjoy riding with my kids to school – I know they’re travelling safely and I get fitter too!
2. In her spare time Sara likes to SCUBA dive, sky dive, wakeboard, free-diving and catching lobster.
3. Sara likes to play basketball
4. Like V I, Sara likes to sing, in an amateur way, has a hopeless passion for the Cubs, loves Italian shoes—and is obsessed by the search for the perfect …
5. Sara likes to work out with the engineer and the secretary. Who is the secretary? Answer:. You can use a process of elimination on this problem. …
6. Sara likes to tell crazy stories about her family. Sara believes that kittens are made of pure fluff. Sara always looks like a stonefox! …
7. Sara likes to beat other teams because she knows that she’s doing her best to score a goal. Sara is so happy about soccer and is confident that she will get …
8. Away from school and work, Sara likes to watch movies and spend time with friends and family. After graduation, Sara hopes for a social work position …
9. Sara likes to call every single one of these students, “her kids.” 34000 kids through college!
10. Sara likes to sit on the very top edge.

The others:

• Sara likes to read books and imagine things.
• Sara likes to play with the hand whisk, and I’m wondering what she might have in stall for Minka…… 
• Evil Princess Sara likes to tell people what to do! But what people do with her advice has nothing to do with her.
• Sara likes to change up her looks for the show and sometimes she likes her hair to be straight except for a little bend on the ends. …
• In their spare time, Sara likes to figure skate and skated competitively until junior high
• Ted likes to cook; Sara likes to eat. Ted likes small bubbles in his mineral water; Sara likes small bubbles too.
• Sara likes to knit, for to concerts, and pretends that she can tap dance. Once upon a time she really liked to act but she’s taking a little break from that …(See- Knitting gets in there somehow!!)
• When she isn’t fighting crime and helping the blind see, Sara likes to spend time with her friends and family
• Sara likes to look around and see all the new things that are around her.
• Sara likes to be on location in the vineyard a half hour before sunrise.  (OOH, like this one!!)
  
• Listening to Troy and Sara, it seems Troy is more content to get a good night’s sleep but Sara likes to party on after the gig
• Sara likes to dip her food into water…so, why not a puddle? And, back at the house… Sara doesn’t look too amused, does she?

I do have  little bit of knitting to show here.  First up is the teacosy that I em, eh, oh, ah casts on for my sister for her birthday eh, last year (shh, dont tell anyone ).

Oh wow I can’t believe it took me so long to finish this!! Its so simple too. I didn’t really follow the pattern, just looked at the picture (which is very very badly placed in the book- who puts the main picture of the pattern you want to make in the middle of 2 pages so it runs along the spine??) and winged it from there. The book I used is Knit- handmade style. 

I used two different yarns, can’t remember which they were but think one was Rowan cashsoft, does that contain angora? The other was a Donegal tweed blend, DK. Used 2 strands together and basically just knit until it was long enough to fit around the teacosy, with a little extra. I did knit a top to put over the top of the cosy but ended up leaving it off as it didn’t reaaly go with the look of it. I stranded a tie through the top of the cosy to pull it in together, and crocheted a single loop to put in between the handle to hold that area together with a button on the other side. So really it ended up nothing like the teacosy in the pattern! More photos to come, I forgot to take photos of the button area.
