I wasn't really hiding but there was a lot of stuff going on this week and so I've been neglectful of this here blog stuff.
First, the progress.
This is my Forest Path Stole. I've finished the second rectangle. This is very slow for me because there are two little kids and one big man who insist on talking to me every time I pick it up. As I am not yet familiar with the chart I can't talk and knit on this at the same time.
The other problem is that with the second rectangle I had an extra stitch that didn't get worked into the pattern.
I don't know. I'll try again and see what's happening.
Here's the progress on my Rowena Cardigan. Now this is what I need right now. Brainless, pretty and soft. Reminds me of some girls I used to know - heh.
Alright, one thing about this. I'm using my Lantern Moon Destiny circulars for this. I love the needle. I am o.k. with the join. I hate the cable. See how it's still all curly. I can't get it to relax.
And, by the way, you guys were no help with my needles decision for the shop so I had to make the decision alone. Well, not alone. Betty and Pam helped me (my spinning teacher and my lace knitting and spinning friend). I went with the Addi Lace needles and the Addi Naturas. I started with only the 24 inch length because I want to see how it goes. I'll probably expand the inventory in the next couple of months.
Last Monday was my birthday. I am now 42 - though I feel much younger.
Lou got me these fabulous roses and we went out to dinner - which I neglected to take pictures of. Let me just say that we went to Macaroni Grill and the diet was out the window. D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!
These roses come from the local flower shop and they are still fresh today like the day I got them. That is the best florist we have ever found.
And finally here's Buster.
Just a boy and his goldfish (crackers).
Your Brain is Green |
Of all the brain types, yours has the most balance. You are able to see all sides to most problems and are a good problem solver. You need time to work out your thoughts, but you don't get stuck in bad thinking patterns. You tend to spend a lot of time thinking about the future, philosophy, and relationships (both personal and intellectual). |

Oops ... sorry to read about the extra stitch! Did you manage to find out what happened?
I love the menu of Macaroni Grill too!
Happy Belated Birthday! The roses are lovely. Buster is too cute curled up around his snack.
Happy birthday!!
So when do the lace addi's arrive? I really want to try a set of those and haven't found them yet.
Hi Beth! Sorry I haven't been able to comment on time. Happy birthday (again!) and I hope you have been celebrating with the other goodies too! PS: I may have the buy those Addi Lace needles from you b/c I can't find any US1 needles anywhere around here!
