FO Friday 100

Happy Friday! I'm so sad I don't have a FO for this week, as it's the 100th FO Friday. I tried my hardest to finish the cardigan and there was just no way. I've been knitting like a fiend and the past two days, I've had to drive back and forth from LA to drop of Milo at my parents. This weekend is Tiki Oasis in San Diego, a tiki convention we go to every year. Milo being at my parents will be awesome, as we don't have to worry about coming home to take care of him at certain times. I'm sure I'll be posting some pics this weekend on Instagram, so if you're interested, you can follow me at @candyskein.


Since I don't have a new project to share, I thought I would show a picture of my new tattoo. It's not finished healing yet (and I haven't been able to shave my leg at the area of the tattoo since) so I decided to share the picture of it right when it was finished.

As some of you know (if you've followed this blog for awhile), I'm a HUGE hockey fan and a gigantic Los Angeles Kings fan. In fact, I've been a Kings fan since I was 10 years old (I'll be 33 in October), and have waited for them to win the Stanley Cup since I started watching. They won this year, and I wanted to get a tattoo to honor the win.


Again, this is RIGHT after the artist finished the piece, hence the redness of my leg. Pretty awesome, right? I can't wait until it's fully healed. I think it will need a little touch up, but nothing major. As you can see, there is room under the 2012, to add 2013 when they win next year. ;)

That's it for me today! I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

Share your FOs!

    Have fun this weekend. Your tattoo looks sore. Very sensible to leave space below to add more dates. Here in Toronto we wouldn't need that space :(
    In fact, if it weren't for the Hockey Hall of Fame here, we wouldn't even know what the Stanley Cup looked like !

      Okay, this made me crack up! You'll have your time. You just need to get Burke out of there and get someone in who will rebuild the team properly.

      It was sore at this point, as he had JUST finished it! :)

    Okay, woman. You win. You're officially a more hardcore hockey fan than me. :) Also, you're totally awesome, but we knew that already. Happy weekend, my friend!

    Oh Tami, I love it! My friend Jenn and I have a pack to get matching tattoos the next time the Pens win the cup which should be in 2013 so the Kings better watch out. I hope the lockout doesn't happen and we have hockey starting soon.

      Thank you!!! I'm sorry, the Kings are winning it in 2013! You'll have to wait until the 13-14 season. ;)

      The tattoo studio who did it, the owner is a DIE HARD Kings fan, and offered them for 50% off! He's tattooed a ton of Kings players in the past as well. Pretty cool.

    WOW, that's some awesome ink! I wish I had an FO to share, too, but I failed to finish my sweater during the Olympics. *sigh* I have a lovely stack of blocked pieces I could show, LOL!!

    What a shapely leg! Your tattoo is stunning but I am sorry it is giving you so much trouble and not healing quickly. Hope your leg gets back to normal soon.
