Another episode of “I’m an idiot….”

(I’m not really an idiot - but who wants to read anything titled “yet another example of why I should think before I act” or something similar.)
Anyway - I amuse myself and my boss but he’s not here right now to appreciate this one - so it’s becoming a blog entry.
My boss brought in this [...]

Dashing

The yarn came in for my “Dashing” gloves today.  (And/or Fetching).  Since I got 2 colors, I’ll probably do a set of each.  One is a dusky purple and the other is a burnt orange.  I like them both!
I think I’ve decided on a yarn for Pat’s blanket.  It’s by Estelle and it’s got [...]

Yarn search continues….

I found an alpaca blend here in town for a really low price and bought up the last 10 balls.  They were a 100 grams - so they were REALLY a good deal.  I wasn’t too terribly certain about the color though.  I liked it, but I just wasn’t positive.  Knit the swatch, blocked it, [...]

Friday…..

I am a night person.  It’s just a fact.  I am.  (It’s 2:00 AM where I am right now.)  I like the night.  Given the option, I’d sleep during the day and be up all night.  but the world (for the most part) doesn’t actually work that way.  and the world of a CHILD - [...]

I really hate thinking up titles….

here, there and everywhere - randomness from my brain:
I saw on Enchanting Juno’s sight there’s something about you’re supposed to list your top 10 favorite blogs.  Hmmm…   let’s see what I got (in no particular order):
The Yarn Harlot (Duh…. - by the way - it’s her blogiversary. head over and wish her well! )

Hey, wait a minute

Did anyone else who has a wordpress site notice they just gave us more free space?!?  (seriously - about the time I hit post on that last one I noticed I’m only using 1%.  2 days ago that said 38%.)
 Whee!!!!!!

Nothing

Nothing blogworthy going on really.  Last night I went to bed pretty soon after my kid, so got no knitting done.  I get very little done during the week anyway.  I carry it back and forth to work with me, but lately because of the AP/AR person being fired, and then the other secretary having [...]

Oh, and

anyone have suggestions on a SIMPLE wristlet type thingie that I can wear to keep my hands warmer while I’m knitting?  Keeping in mind that I have never done a “thumb gusset” or anything like it?

Snow in Georgia!!

Look!
                               
(the bird picture(s) were taken from inside - and with the zoom on my camera in the “digital” range which combined, made it a little blurry.  but I’m still really proud of them.  I’ve got several cause I loved the red birds against the grey and white background)
Amazingly enough though, it was [...]
