Wow! What have I been up to?<br>
<br>
Well apart from the usual knitting and crocheting, I've been learning how to machine sew. I've always been in awe of those who can and so wanted to do so myself. <br>
I've had an old new home for a few years gathering dust but everytime I went to use it, it drive my MAD and I threw a hissy fit at it! stoopid machine! <br>
So I bought a new one that, a derpy beginner could use. <br>
After consulting my favourite sewing teacher, I purchased the Jacome 3300. <br>
It's perfect! I đź’—đź’—đź’—đź’— it.<br>
I still can't see very well, but it works without me crying and screaming at it, so I call that a win đź’—<br>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I chose to make these circle socks for <a href="http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Walter">Walter </a>in Stargate Command. He's the guy who dials the Stargate to other worlds. He's very cool in my opinion (just don't let him talk your ear off), so deserves a nice comfy pair of socks that look like little Stargates :D</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I visited them today and found this dvd in there. It’s been on my dvd must have list forever and I’ve finally got it for my collection. I don’t generally buy brand new if I can find it in there. It may take some time but its worth the surprise as I never know what I might find.</span></span><br />

SG-1 had got in touch with the Tok’ra, an off shoot from the Gao’uld but not evil like them, to seek out an alliance. The Tok’ra thought an alliance meant that they wanted to “blend” (become hosts) with them. This is a symbiotic relationship between both Tok’ra and human giving them strength, long life and the ability to heal most ailments in a human. Unlike a Gao’uld that takes over the host.</div>

Cutting a long story short, Sam Carter’s Dad was asked to become a host to Selmak, the leader of the Tok’ra who’s previous host was coming to the end of her life. <br style="line-height: 1em;" />Selmak healed him and they lived quite happy with each other.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I made a slight change (apart from the colours) in that I made a second oval and stitched both ovals together before construction.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fast forward to the present and I get a reply from <a href="http://thedaileebailey.blogspot.com/">Bailey</a> asking me for that very pattern. So I've done some digging over at sprite stitch and found it :D</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been working hard on my diet (I've lost 4 pounds during January, Yay!), but I must keep it up. I know I can do it but I've been craving naughty food all week, my will power is holding fast but just about. I've also noticed that my energy levels have risen a bit and I think this might be down to my diet. I have fish and chips last weekend (a treat for my little boy) and the day after I felt quite sluggish so I won't be doing that again any time soon.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've also had my haircut, its really short. I've had it short before but I think this is the shortest</span>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z_2FTxSNI7k/TUxCukINlHI/AAAAAAAAAb4/P_gwyU2WwHs/s1600/haircutfeb11me.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z_2FTxSNI7k/TUxCukINlHI/AAAAAAAAAb4/P_gwyU2WwHs/s320/haircutfeb11me.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've also finished the Doctor Who scarf I made for my brother <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/fr3ck5">@Fr3ck5</a>. I'll post about that next time.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Other than that I've been mostly knitting and gaming. I'm really into knitting socks right now but I'm still scared of circular knitting (I know how to, the needles are always too long though), so I've been making them on straights and there turning out nicely.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Happy Crafting</span><br />

I couldn't let this lie so I've started again with the proper pattern from <a href="http://www.doctorwhoscarf.com/season12.php">Doctor Who Scarf Site</a><br />

<br />
My first challenge was to find similar yarns to match the American ones that I cannot hope to get hold of with my meagre budget. I finally settled on <a href="http://www.deramores.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=patons+fab">Patons Fab dk</a> and <a href="http://www.deramores.com/sirdar-bonus-dk">Hayfield/Sirday Bonus dk.</a><br />
<br />
Here are the Shades I settled on:<br />
<br />
Sirdar Bonus DK <br />
<br />
Claret 0841<br />
Charcoal 0837<br />
<br />
Patons Fab DK<br />
<br />
Beige 02331<br />
Yellow 02302<br />
Fern 02341<br />
Red 02323<br />
<br />
These colours are as close as match as I could get with exception of the Red. I fear this may be a little too bright a red, but we'll see. I may be fretting for now reason.<br />
<br />
I'm putting a scarf o matic bar on my page so you can follow my progress in percentage form. So let the project commence :)<br />

My Brother @Altias (twitter) and I (@jelibe) went blackberry picking the other day and just in time too cause the council were using there power saws to chop it all up! I was agast but we got stuck in and we managed to get 2 cups of blackberries which I've made for my pie today.<br />

This recipe is very easy and was really tasty. I'd really recommend Ice cream, cream or custard with this. I got the recipe from <a href="http://www.helpwithcooking.com/pastry-guide/blackberry-pie.html">this site</a> and its called Simple Blackberry Pie. If your a beginner like me this is a great one to start with. You can't really go round, even if, like me, you don't get enough shortcrust pastry for it (note to self: buy more next time). Its very forgiving as you can see I just did a pastry top.<br />

I couldn't wait to taste it before taking a picture so that's my portion eaten, I can't hide from the truth, I'm the only one here! ha ha!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
