Sometimes

I wish I worked downtown.  Not often, mind, the last time was when the new gov was sworn in. 

A water main broke.  The people downtown got to go home.

We have to stay. 

Bummer.  I don't have flippers, so I should get to go home as well.

Rainy days

when you don't have to be anywhere are good for knitting.

Horrible for picture taking, but good for knitting.

I finished the socks with no name yesturday. 

I haven't decided if I'm going to write up the pattern or not. 

I got to the border on Persephone and I should get it finished today.  I have 3 1/2 border repeats left.  Then I have to do math to figure out yardage.  Dang.

Persephone

The Hades and Persephone shawl has become just a Persephone shawl.  Full circle or half circle, knitter's choice.

It's gone for test knitting and tech editing.  Of course, tonight I found an error. 

Mortal flat out told me she was going to test it.  She's going to bead :)
A hint.

And you wonder why

we have no budget.  The feds cannot do math.

HELP!!!!!

Somebody, anybody who can open doors help me!

There is no food in my bowl!



Another 1 bites the dust

Annis is done!

1 full skein plus about 15/20 yards of a second skein of Socks the Rock lightweight.

I had a little help while taking the pictures.

I still haven't finished clue 3 of the mystery shawl.  I hope to get through at least clue 5 over the weekend.  This maybe a possibility because the new tsock hasn't come yet.

Squirm and I went to the West Shore Farmer's Market today and then headed over to Borders.  We may have bought some books. 

I think I need more bookshelves.  Oh, wait -- Borders will be selling their bookshelves eventually! 

Fiber Update

My hat for the Mad Hatter Swap is done!  S requested ears, and I think that I fulfilled that request.  My mother kindly modeled it for me.  She is now annoyed because I never made her a hat with ears.  She has never asked for one.  She says that she didn't know that was an option.  She tried to keep this one. 

I went to the Souper Bowl sale at the Yarn Garden with Mortal.  She got a sweater and a shawl.  I got a shawl and a pair of socks.  

I borrowed a mannequin to get a better pic of the medallion shawl.  Mortal came up with a better name.  It will be called "Girl's Best Friend", since diamonds are a girl's best friend.  I like that song. 

I have 2 1/3 clues done on the mystery shawl.  Clues 4 & 5 are out. 

I started an Annis using STR.  I orginally started with Noro lace, but I didn't like the fabric.

I won a box from the FIX drawing.
