KnitTech

Oh Snap

I broke down and turned on the air conditioner today. It's only 95 out there. It's going to be a long summer.

Happy Solstice everyone!

Stupid program quits working after one scale up, then I have to exit and re-enter. Now it's working fine
Seriously, you want to move someone when we don't have any bodies to replace him? That ain't happening
Eww, Cubemate, that was stinky
I'm wanting to eat everything in the place. That needs to stop
I left my knitting at home today, and the project I'm working on is dragging... shoot me now
Have a good weekend, I'm out of here

My birthday trip to Jackpot is done and over with. We lost. We're talking next year a trip to the coast instead. It would be something different and out of our rut.

Down the street on an almost summer day.

I picked up some yarn with my discount from the LYS. I can't wait to finish Grilltech's hat to start on a pair of socks. This yarn looks amazing.

I made a couple of wash clothes. It took me less then a day to complete them. One on Saturday/Sunday, the other on Tuesday.

Adulting?

Last night we went and talked with a financial planner. It's like we're real adults or something. I'm leaning towards the or something because there is no way I'm ready for adulthood. After our meeting, Grilltech and I went to dinner at a local brew pub. Grilltech is very attached to Poutine and I had the salmon BLT. I added another inch to the hat while at the meeting and dinner.

We also stopped off at the LYS. I picked up two sock yarns. One for me and one for him. I'll post pictures later.

While getting out of the car last night, I dropped my phone and cracked my gorilla glass. It's just a small crack, but enough to be annoying. I'll have to live a week with the crack.

Nothing else exciting is going on, maybe I'll knit tonight. Who knows.

1000 Words

Down the street on a muggy spring/summer day.

My newest bathmat. I made one like this one, only smaller and I didn't like it. So here is it's replacement.

I finished my socks. I really like the random colors of this pair.

Baby Bird wanted a scarf. She picked her colors and I thought they'd look really good with enterlac. I haven't trimmed the ends, because I need to find out if she wants fringe or not. Who am I kidding, of course she's going to want fringe. She's a 10 year old girl.

Last up is a dishcloth knit on game night, start to finish. Not GMing gives me more time to knit.

Date Night

Today we're going to go see a movie after work. We rarely go to the movies during the afternoons, because we expect it to be busy and if there is anything we hate, it's crowds. But the thought process today is, it's still early enough, we might miss the crowd.

I'm working on another hat for Grilltech. He likes how long the first one was but says it's a bit too tight for him. So I went from 68 (I think, it might have been 64) per side to 76. I'll do a couple of inches and have him try it on to see how it's fitting. wish me luck.

At work today, we had a potluck. I made cheesecake. The guys are going on like it's the best they've ever eaten. Really? It's a basic cheesecake nothing exciting.

Finished my socks, started another hat for Grilltech
Oops, pulled my loop through on the hat, now I have to count again
We're going to see Wonder Woman tomorrow
Change of plans, no taco's tonight, but BLT's
Have a good night

May

It's suppose to be in the 90's today. Which mean I'll be melting in the house because it's not quite warm enough to turn on the air. But fans? Hellya, those things will be going full tilt.

I finished Baby Bird's scarf. Perky suggested I keep knitting until the second skein was done, but that wasn't going to happen. Today I started the toe on my sock, so that will be finished soon. Not sure what the next thing I'll be working on.

Forgot to count the cars today
I left my knitting at home, this sucks
Oh yea, gotta take my pill
Sure today, when I don't have my knitting, the call runs long
Stupid hiccups
The day is mostly over and I haven't had any melt downs
Hope everyone has a good evening

Tuesday

It's a Tuesday. Nothing exciting really happens on a Tuesday. There are tacos, but I'm not having tacos tonight. It's left over pork chops. Yum.

I didn't do any knitting last night. Instead I finished off my book. Well mostly finished, there are some short stories in the back that I'm reading so, mostly done? Not sure if I'll get around to knitting or not, because it's karate night.

Weekend Recap

I had a really good mother's day. The Eldest got me a bottle of wine. I drank half of it last night, and will finish off the other half tonight. Perky and Kommandant took me out to dinner. The first choice place had a line out the door. There was no way, I was going to wait that long for dinner. So we went to second choice place and had a nice Mexican platter, then everyone left the house for two-three hours leaving me alone. It was nice and quiet for a while.

Saturday was crafting and tea. I finished my first sock and started the second one. That was my only weekend knitting. Usually I work on Baby Bird's scarf, but instead I read. Started a book (Empire of Black and Gold) on Friday night and by Sunday I was 3/4ths done with it.

Anyway, that was my weekend, How was yours?

I think there was two cars at the coffee shop this morning
My calves are still sore from Tuesday, it's annoying
I'm working on the 60's rows of the bath mat, only forty more to go
Sure, I have no problem undoing the work I did on Wednesday
I don't care, just fucking do it
Now, I'm trying to cough up a lung, I swallowed wrong
The day is almost over!
Hope everyone has a good weekend

Sore

I didn't do any knitting last night, instead I was playing Zuma. It was a good mindless thing to do before Karate. Then I talked Perky into coming to yoga with me. Turns out, it was karate not yoga, needless to say, she wasn't too happy. Not sure if she'll come again or not. Because I wasn't expecting to do such demanding physical moments, I didn't wear good shoes. Today my right heel is killing me. So, I've got to remember to bring shoes always.

Day Two

Day two of a headache. Ibuprofen helps take the edge off, but doesn't knock it out. So I'm just dealing.

I've finished the gusset on my sock, so I might finish it this weekend at tea. Last night, I did another 25 rows on the bath mat. Figure I'll need about 100 or 110 rows to complete the project.

I've also decided it's time to start walking around the block again. Havoc and I need to get more steps in than 3500, which is pretty low.

Monday Catch Up

Friday night, we gamed. I made an entire dishcloth. Not GMing gives me plenty of time.

On Saturday, Grilltech took me to see Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. I must admit, I really enjoyed it. It wasn't a rehash, but something fresh and new. Course, anything with Kurt Russell in it, will make me swoon.

I've been working on Baby Bird's scarf. An Enterlac scarf which looks pretty awesome, but man, I'm getting sick of it. And I have half another skein of yarn to go through. Ugh

Drive By

One of the things I hate is when a blog goes all radio silent. Here I am doing the very thing I hate. This is me, trying to be better.

I've been working on bath mats. I've done two, but the first one is too small in my opinion, so I'm making another. On the plus side, it's size 15 needles and three strands of cotton. A quick knit.

I've been playing a Pathfinder game on the pad. That's really been sucking my time.

Saturday we're going to see Guardian's of the Galaxy 2. Hope it's done well, because most of the time, the second movie is just a rehash of the first. I don't like those.

Hope you're day is lovely. See you next week.
