Since The Creator has been busy at work creating his goals for the next year, I've decided that I will have some of my own. Someone has to have them.
First, I must get my wee little room in order.
1. It needs a fresh coat of white paint. I say white because it make me look tan and buff. 2
2. I must get The Creator to get to IKEA to buy two more yarn storage cabinets. I'm tired of having yarn all over the place in this wee room.
3. I need a proper place to sit so that I can watch TV.
This brings me to my next subject. I fell madly in love with Julia Roberts. From what I have found searching the internet from the blue box, she knits. But, that isn't why I fell madly in luve with her. You see, The Creator left the TV on and I started watching Pretty Woman. You know that cheesy classic of girl meets boy, boy give girl credit card, girl falls for boy, boy does something stupid and boy chases after girl. So, I didn't stop there. I pulled up NetFlix on the TV and started watching all the movies I could get my hands on.
I've decided that I must meet this Julia Roberts. This is my second goal. I have a grand plan. Yes, a grand plan has been hatching. I logged onto the Creator's Amazon and went to town getting the Best Boyfriend Ever. It's all part of the grand plan that I'm hatching.

Fiber Forward
Hi Horbert here...
I have found receipts for yarn that isn't in the room as I have been stashing away in Ravelry. I have spent a month looking for this Magic Bean yarn from A Verb for Keeping Warm. Said yarn was purchased at Twisted in Portland. I have been scratching my plastic little head look for this shiny green/blue/yellow yarn.
As I was perusing Facebook for what The Creator has been doing, it appears that he GAVE THIS YARN away. This uber sexy silk/merino yarn.
Here he is showing some Mike guy how to knit with this luscious yarn. He even bought needles to support Mike's new habit. It's like crack. Once you start, you never stop. You acquire more yarn. Boxes. Rooms. Retreats. Yarn groups. It's a thing.
It's one of The Creators joys to share the knitting craft with someone. In fact, bringing someone in to the fold is fun. So, imagine the surprise he found last weeks sitting on the door step from some guy I haven't met. Well, I may have at that retreat thingy he raves about.
So, imagine the surprise when The Creator found a box on his front door step. And inside this box was this:
And this little card was inside:
It seems this fellow sent him this fab box full of fiber. He has a fab fiber arts blog and fab taste in fiber. He also teaches to spin and is crazy about fiber. He got this fiber from one of those places The Creator coveted. He is going to make yarn. I'm not sure what he will make but, I see a scarf in the future. I may have to roll around in this goodness.

Grandma's Pink Flamingo Sweater
Gram's Sweater is done. YAY! Now we can get on to some boy things after working with the Knit Picks Andean Silk in the Pink Flamingo color. It's now a discontinued color and he used 9 or it may have been 14 balls of the stuff. He made a duplicate order of the stuff. He must research his and find out how many he actually used. I think, he can't remember how much he ordered nor did he enter the information in Ravelry.
The Creator put some effort into the detail of this one. The button band was crochet and the buttons we selected with care. I think they are shell of some type.
You can see the edging here a bit better. It really makes the sweater. The Creator deviated from the pattern as he liked a smaller picot on the edging.
It seemed like this project took forever. But, this was the second full sweater The Creator has completed. He has already casted on for one for Grandpa.

Terribly long time...
Hi, it's me again. It appears I have been terribly horrible about blogging about the happenings in my little plastic world.
First, let me just share with you how much I detest what the creator has done. He has created this lovely pink sweater. I don't have a problem with that at all. No, it's quite lovely with the little crochet edging. But, did he have to really put it on me and use it as a model? Not only did he put it on me, but he took (gasp) a photo of me wearing said pink sweater. And don't you think he could have cleaned up around my base? I mean, really. I am not this messy!
Anyway, he is about done with that and he can ship it off. I wish he would just get it done and off my back. It's not becoming on me as it would be for his Grandma.
In other news, The Creator has been busy. He has photos of what he has completed, however, they came from the new camera. I can't find the new camera. I've sent Horbert after it to see what he can find. He hasn't come back. Of course, he may have been side tracked.
Oh, and I should share with you the travisty of the TV. For the longest time, I've wanted a TV to occupy my mindless mind. I have no head so I just need something to may my flesh colored shape look very good. So, The Creator found a TV at Best Buy for $199. He bought it thinking it would be a grand thing for me to keep me company while I wear the things he creates. It was ok the first few weeks. After that, the screen started rolling and frankly it was very tiresome trying the surf the channel for repeats of Rikki Lake. So, I turned it off. The Creator took it back for me and they wanted to send it in for repair. The Creator fought a good fight and told the 19 year old clerk "It's a piece of CRAP. I would like my money back." Now, we have to send it in to be fixed. After a few more words, The Creator gave them the TV and left for Portland.
I had a nice surprise when The Creator came back with another TV. LED, and 5 inches bigger. We all know that 5 inches is a good thing. And it connects to the Internets. I may have to get my own facebook page as it has a direct interface. Cool!
And then today, I received a nice TV stand for it. It matches the yarn cabinet. I'll have to take photos, but not before The Creator paints. I would love a lovely light green with purple trim and a gray carpet. It would be outstanding and show off my lovely flesh tones. I'm thinking he is opting for ultra pure white. I'm not sure I'm down with that. It will wash my tones out. Sigh. Someone with some decorating sense needs to talk to him.
I have a few more things to do before he shuts the light off and I can't do anything.
Cheers!

Two Things Must Be Shared
OMG. Horbert had to dig me out of the disaster that is my room. I don't care that The Creator found a TV on the Open Box table at Best Buy and had to set that on my lovely little stand and I have been repourposed to the floor. I mean really! And then, to make matters worse, he put boxes of yarn around me. I think it is yarn. Only one box is open and I see that silly blue face Leicester from Rowan in it. I don't know why he loves that stuff so much. Anyway, it took Horbert and that silly girl hours to dig me out to tell you this.
First, The Creator has sold his first pattern. I didn't think it is anything special. I mean it is just a cover for his iPad. Although, it could be used for a hot water bottle. I'm not really sure.When the pattern is avaliable for human consumption, I will post more about it. It's going in a collection of one hank wonders that have all been designed by men. The concept rocks the knitting world.
Second, The Creator, the token male in an all girl knitting group, was featured in a local newspaper article. Horbert was there when they were interviewed and he tells me it didn't go down like that. Here is the link.
Knitters bring love of yarn
Read this. I did. I don't think they love all yarn. I don't think they are the hottest knitting group. They are The Group in the greater Denver area. Just saying. Also, I think The Creator was misquoted. He has skillz and can crochet like a mad man.. but did he really buy his first ball of lambs pride when he was 20... Yes, he recounted the story. He went to a yarn shop with a friend when he attended University in Laramie. He bought two skeins of light blue and two skeins of dark blue. Evidently, some Birgit woman was with him. She was there. He said she was the witness to said enabling. Also, did you know he is the most mentioned in the article. Horbert said there are more interesting people at the group that they should have focused on. Like little Will, the token Kid. He is a supermodel in knitting magazines. He didn't even get a mention. Besides, little Will loves Horbert enough to suck on his head. I don't think Horbert agrees with this.
And that is all I have today. The Creator is off to Taos. He is in the car with the J's -- Jen, Joy, and Jean. Lord help us all! I don't need more yarn is this room and he best leave the TV on to HBO and turn me around so I can watch TrueBlood. That Tara girl and I are tight!

Horbert found the Little Blue Box
Horbert Here...
So... I found the little blue box. I have stuff to say.
First, look at this:
I know. This is my professional shot taken by this fellow. I had it done without The Creator's permission. It was taken with the hem of this and a ball of wool mentioned in this post.
Since I had my headshots taken, I haven't found the little blue box. I think it is because The Creator has been using Manny's Room as a Yarn Way station. I lost where the little blue box is. I would take a photo, but I can't find the little red box that makes photos to show you. He has been busy going through his yarn stuff and putting it in ravelry. Oh, and he has been to IKEA to buy book cases to store yarn. He has one. He needs two more I think for proper yarn storage. Of course, I also think he needs to get a desk where he can properly put the blue box and the red box for us to use.
Anyway, I'll be in Taos this weekend perusing the yarns there. I want to find something yummy to be photographed with. Maybe a goat or two as well.

Knitting with the Mens
I can't believe The Creator took me to the Rocky Mountain Men's Knitting Retreat this past weekend. I sat in a chair and watched everyone. All the gentlemen seems like they were having a good time. I sent Horbert out and about to talk to them all. He has yet to let me know how others enjoyed the retreat. But from my chair and later the table, I could tell people had fun. I was sitting on the table where we had all the books and fiber. It was all amazing. I hear The Creator now has a relationship with an Alpaca. There are pictures of him kissing said alpaca. I must acquire said photos for black mail purposes.
I didn't see The Creator knit much. I guess that is because he co-created the retreat with the Frank guy. It was a bit fuzzy for me. Horbert should know as I did send him out and about to take photos. Horbert took a good deal of photos with people and things. I can't wait for him to share them with you all. I do know The Creator has almost lost Horbert, twice. Once was on the path. A nice fellow picked him up and returned him to The Creator. It appears that he fell out of the pocket. I have told The Creator time and time again to make him a harness to keep him safe. The next time, The Creator stuffed him in a bag and forgot where he was. An ABP was put out and people were searching high and low for the little pip-squeak.
The Creator is quite tired so I have to be quiet. I just wanted to let you all know that the retreat was fun and I can't wait to attend next year's retreat. It's been years since I knitted with the boys.
