well then

I actually entered and won a contest, fancy that. I guessed how many books on knitting that Spinnity had in her collection. Well I was about 20 off and go figure that woman has 171 books on knitting. But her prowess with the needles really shows the education from all those books.


Neat-o banditto.


This incoming yarny bits certainly would be perfect for a second chevron scarf, as I think the first shall become a holiday pressie for the new mum-in-law. But a second, hmmm well maybe I could keep something for myself (like that'll happen with the coming holidays!)


The scarf progresses a bit, last night I got fed up with separating the plies from each other while on the needles, as well it didn't really work. So I broke the yarn and separated them while watching Eureka. I love that sci-fi channel, such great shows, and such horrid B movies on the weekend.


As I was sitting on the couch knitting on the Chevron scarf, the husbeast turns to me, and asks if I wasn't just knitting something for him. As in his requested pair of fingerless gloves, or his double sided scarf. My reply was a bit rude, but true, I told him, no I was making a scarf for his mum, and that he was just too picky. But now I think I should start working on his gloves, not that he doesn't already have a pair, that just needs the finger holes closed up. And not that he doesn't already have a scarf in Fair Isle that reads Triumph across the neck with a set of iron crosses on the ends. Both items of knitwear being done in Alpaca only, as he refuses to wear anything else! But I'm actually rather honored that he likes my knits so well, that I think I will make him that double knitted scarf for Christmas...another Triumph or Thruxton down the middle with something on the ends. I don't know. But I do know that there wouldn't be a any surprise, just because he is so picky, I insist upon his collaboration in these matters.





You'll have to excuse my writing today, as I've just downed my typical 3 shots of espresso, but on top of the 12 hour Claritan, I feel a bit off sorts. In fact my limbs are a little numb and I just feel totally weird.


I think we may have thunder storms tonight, or soon. It's just muggy and warm and overcast, but rather warm. I love thunder and lightening. They're a real treat in over here in Eastbania. Like maybe once every other year we'll have thunder and lightening. And no where near as dramatic as in the desert, but it'll certainly do.

I'm done,

cheers, and happy knitting
