Down the street on a cloudy day


Finished a wash cloth on game night


Finished Grilltech's hat, I think it could have been a bit longer, but he's happy with it.

Gah!

For the third day in a row, I've left my knitting at home. While I only knit during the morning call while at work, I'm really missing it.

You're Not My *Real* Mom

I'm coming in from the back porch to the kitchen. Ruby is on the counter with her head in the bowl of grated cheese eating. I don't know why the kids taught her cheese is a kitty food, but that's not awesome.

Whew, Close One

Last night, I got to sit in my spot for all of ten minutes. I even managed to pull up the pattern for the shawl I'm knitting and looked at it. Then it was time to go walk the neighborhood. I didn't get the spot back again. So instead I went to bed early. It took me about 30 minutes to fall asleep. Then I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't get back to sleep. It was a rough one for Uggy. She had to move about every 30 minutes. Worst pet guardian ever.

Zap

Well, so much for this post. I had quite a bit written out and then my computer shut down on me and everything is gone. :( So I'll try again.

I keep looking at these knitting bags, and wonder if I really need another bag. I like them, but I have a nice bag that I use. On the other hand, purple is my favorite color.

I'm not getting much knitting done at night. Mostly because Perky is sitting in the best light spot. Since she's recovering, I don't want to make her move, so I'm doing other things - playing computer games.

Last night, we watched the original Disney Beauty and the Beast. Perky picked the extended version and they added a whole new song. When the girls was young, I totally could dialog the whole movie. Today? Not so much.

This time of the year, I'm really electromagnetically charged. I'm sparking practically everywhere and it's annoying.

Bath Mats

A few years ago, I knit some rugs for the shower. They get swapped out on a weekly basis, so each one doesn't get too much wear. When I was doing laundry on Sunday I noticed one of them was starting to fray. Today I noticed the other one was was also fraying. Not good. Trying to decide if I want to re-knit two more rugs or just buy bath mats and call it good.

Sock

Last week, I worked from home. It was an interesting experience. Not sure I would want to do it full time, but every once in a while will be nice. In today's morning meeting I was able to turn the heel on my sock. I'll be heading towards the toe in no time, just have to deal with the instep. Go sock.

Down the street on a rainy day.


Grilltech's new socks.


Socks for Perky's MIL. Her husband died recently, and I thought she needed something to help her remember people love her.


A sock for me

w00t

I'm so close to being done with this row. A good thing, because I'm tired of working on the blanket. I'll finish the row then put it away for the season. I'm day dreaming about working on my shawl, something different then endless miles of knit. I'm sure the first time I have to purl back I'll be wishing for the blanket.

I'm pretty much over the cold. Yea! Spring is mostly here, so it's time to start yard work.

List Day

• Gas is at $2.41 per gallon
• There was one car at the coffee shop
• I think my left ear is clear, but now my right one is acting up
• I hate dreaming about getting up and getting ready for work, because it makes getting out of bed that much harder
• The trash guy came from the wrong direction, it really messes with my OCD
• I need a new drink, trying to decide if I want more tea or a diet
• Really? We're crossing the line after the deadline? What is the point of having a deadline if we're going to fix it anyway?
• I went with a diet, now I'm drinking water
• The day is almost over. Then I'm off to get an new iPad
• Have a good night

Squares

I worked on the never-ending blanket last night, finished three squares. I've found three is the limit before my neck and shoulders get stiff. I'm getting closer to being done with this row, then I'll be posting pictures.

I've started the heel of Grilltech's second sock.

For the past three weeks I've been working with the lights burned out over my head. It was dark enough that I would want to put my head on my desk and nap. Today they replaced the lights. Now I can see all the dust bunnies living on my desk. Guess it's time to dust. :(

Blah

I am feeling better. My left ear is still blocked. Hopefully it will pop soon and I'll be able to hear out of it, instead of the constant ringing I've been hearing for days. It's very annoying.

I haven't started knitting yet. I should pick up the needles at home soon. I still knit at work, during the morning meeting. I'm about half an inch away from starting the heel on the sock. Might have this sock done by this weekend.

List Day

• Gas is at $2.41 per gallon
• There was no cars at the coffee shop
• I'm feeling better, but still sick
• Got some unhappy news about Perky
• The waiting game sucks
• Have a good evening

Fran checking out the dish clothes I've been working on


Grilltech's next sock, I need to start the second one

Sick

Tomorrow marks a week of the crud. I'm at the coughing stage and my ribs hurt already. I wish my head would clear up. I'm ready for this to be gone, like winter here. It snowed again last night, and again this morning. Ick.

I've been knitting, just not on the blanket. Been making dish clothes because of the large needles. Easier to see.

Stay healthy, because this sucks.

Sick

I'm on day two of the plague, sore throat and a slight runny nose. I talked to the one of the guys and he says he's had it for more then two weeks. Crap. I'm not going to enjoy this.

I'm about done with my row on the blanket. Not sure how many squares that works out to be, but I'm working on the thing. I'm trying to decide if I'm going to start another row when I finish this one or put it away until fall. I'm getting a bit tired of working on it. I might be able to get another row or two done before April. Who knows.
