my apologies if the image isn't showing. i suck at importing pictures/links/etc. am i still eligible for free yarn? pretty please, some vegas or verigated rock? with yummy cashmarino on top?
hahahaha. her yarns really do rock. i got mine at webs.com. i have rock in siouxsie, love in joel & clementine and craft in cathie and steve. so tasty.
foist of all i FINALLY finished my SIL's hooded scarf (after only about a million frogs and buying 2 more skeins of yarn praying that they'd match). it's mushy, warm and has a point at the top of the hood so my SIL will look like a kewpie doll when she wears it to penn state games.
i also started a hat for the boy's scooby-doo constume - lion brand wool-ese thik N quick in brown. could NOT find a pattern in any of my knitting books for making a kid's hat with ears. so i'm just doing a quick garter knit (switching it up by knitting flat instead of in the round, i'm too lazy to purl), stitch up the seam and will (attempt) to make triangle ears. since his winter coat this year is brown and he's been badgering for a hat this should be perfect. i also need to knit a blue dog collar. the rest of his costume is fleecy brown sweatpants and a brown shirt i bought on the fly from oldnavy.com. at least his hat and collar will be made with love.
let's see...got the rest of the needles from KP's harmony set (am currently using the 13 on the hat). also got the KPs harmony DPNs (and saved a boatload of money - can't wait to try them!). they are a little longer than my other sock needles (i use 5" ones and these are 6"...) so this ought to be interesting. got some knitting books on dishcloths and snowflakes (hubby offered his crochet thread for the snowflakes, aww...) got my favorite british knitting magazines at B&N yesterday...found out that they have coupons inside to give your local bookstore so they can order you issues so i'm going to do that. borders doesn't always carry my favorite one and i don't get to B&Ns very often.
i'm in another "don't feel like knitting" mood. i know i have 2 months til xmas but i'm feeling a bit overwelmed. 3 pairs of socks, a purse, gauntlets, a shawl, a pillow, 2 hats, the ice scraper...okay, take a deep breath. i'll get it done. i WILL get it done. my K&C group is starting tomorrow at church. i have several people interested but so many are saying "can't come that night for whatever reason, and i'm afraid i'll be sitting there from 4:30-8 with just me myself and my basket full o' projects. i hope this thing flies. i just don't feel too good about it.
to quote one of my favorite tv shows (yes dear)
"get the earplugs and some jagermeister. we're going to see the wiggles."
yes. my kid will be having an "experience" for xmas (seeing that half his thomas cars are getting recalled). we're seeing the wiggles at wacovia on friday, with a side trip to chuck e cheese beforehand. please pray for me. i have to do this again on black friday when we take him to see the doodlebops at the kirby.
on good note: next week we get to go to philly (even if it's just overnight). continental midtown, buddakan, ludwigs, rosie's reading terminal, philly cheesesteak - i need you!!
oh, and i wound up having to buy a NEW CELL PHONE and get a GO PHONE plan. turns out TRACFONE CAN'T PORT OLD NUMBERS AND MINUTES TO NEW (ALBEIT REFERBED) PHONES. JACKASSES. so now i have a new number and my old number (which i've had for almost 12 years) will go to someone else. hope they appreciate it as much as i did. hope they enjoy getting VMs from crazy message lady who had the wrong number (mine) and would leave messages for whoever she was calling and then she'd leave these nasty messages when they didn't return her call. lady i would have called you back...IF YOU HAD LEFT YOUR NUMBER (and didn't have your number blocked) I COULD'VE TOLD YOU THAT YOU HAD THE WRONG NUMBER TO BEGIN WITH! enjoy!
