Happy St. Paddy's Day!

Well, hope you guys didn't have too much green beer today!

I wish I could say that my step mom is wearing her cartidge stitch cowl today but.....nope.  As the Stockinette Zombies say, "It's a HO".  Yup just a ho.  Hopefully I can get my fat tukus in gear and get it out to her next week.  Instead of working the heck out of it last week, all I could do is sleep.  When I was home, instead of knitting and looking for a job, all I could do was lay in bed and sleep.  Yup, the Portland rain is getting to me.  Just want to follow the sunshine for a while.  Maybe in June I will get the rainy funk out of my veins. 

Watched the latest Knitabulls vidcast and Diane referenced a new vidcast.  I am on the second vid and not sure about it.  Its called The Fat Squirrel Speaks.  Not sure of it yet.  Another one Diane mentioned was....The Knitting Den...Had to switch over to itunes to check.  So before Diane's video I was down to like 18 hours of knitting vidcasts...(snigger) I am back up to a day two hours worth of video casts...Oy!  Gotta stop getting sucked into searching new knitting itunes things!  I will never get everything listened too!  I am finally down to 1 TheKnitGirllls vidcasts but I have about 2 months of Wolfe Farms and Yarnivore podcasts each.  Seriously!!!!!!  Argggghhhh!!!!

I finally finished the Potter series, just got both seasons of Downton Abbey in the mail today.  So I have to decide to finish the last season of the West Wing or watch Downton Abbey.  Guess which one is actually going into the dvd first????  Have to resist and finish West Wing!  Maybe I can get some knitting done!

Ha! Knitting Angry!

I am making progress on my step mom's cartridge stitch cowl, with the incentive to not get lazy and finish it w/ getting to her on St. Paddy's day.  She deserves it.  The Readers Digest version is that my step moms niece should be charged with elder abuse of her grandfather, who is one of the sweetest people you would ever want to meet and is in his 80s and really feeble.  And had gotten information of what she did to his house and is horrid.  Hope that karma bites her big time.  So I have been making progress on the cowl by knitting angry, just because I am trying to divert anger into something good....  Why does it seem like family drama helps get things done when they have to be?

One thing, the boys, Chuck and Bob from the Humaine Society, are obsessed with me and the ball winder.  They are either both watching the ball on the carpet or one is watching the skein on the floor and the other is watching the winder.   If they are not totally zonked, they are right there watching or trying to get entangled in the yarn.

Just need to keep the knitting angry mojo going for a couple of more days.

Am listening to Knittin in the Fly podcast, give a little good mojo to Katie because she needs it, and give a little extra to her sister.

Peace.
