Amen and Pass the Ammunition!

have finished the purple people eater hitchiker.  All I need to do is wash it, cut the loose ends since I am not a 'let's weave in the ends type of gal' and then I will package it up to send to my friend for her birthday.  Of course it is not as big as the picture in the pattern, definitely did not use woolmeise.   Gotta save up my pennies for that stuff or the American version of it. 
Last weekend, my mother and I went to the Oregon Flock and Fiber.  It was nice to wander around the pens, looking at the goats, sheeps (yes I know its sheep but there were multiple different type plus I am a little punchy tonight), alpaca, and llamas.  We had the chance to pet this lovely dark brown/black llama.  O....M...G....!!!! Didn't matter if was the neck area, which wasn't sheered, or the sheered body, he/she was fabulously sooooo soft.  I didn't buy anything but am really jealous of the fiber and yarn.   There have been suggestions of conjoined projects (throat clearing-mother), where I knit and felt things and she sews cloth to them to make something or another....Number 1, good idea.  BUT  I don't know ANYTHING about felting, when I am I going to do these felting project?  On the bus?

Sorry just got a 'squirrel' moment.  Just saw a clip on the local news about Mr. Yuck stickers, I haven't seen those since the '70s.  Yup, old fart.

One thing my mother did bring back from her cruise is a boat load of Lopi yarn.  A lot of it is lace weight.... So guess who's going to learn how to use lace weight????  Yup, moi!  Maybe not right away but soon. Still getting used to work and school and long bus trips between the two.  Yes I do work and go to school at the same place but one of my classes is at the farthest branch away from me (about an hour and a half  bus ride if lucky)  then either a shuttle bus (if they dont leave early-had that happen) or a 40 minute bus ride up to the branch I work at.  Wahoo. 

Other notes....I really have slacked off with knitting videos on itunes.  I have about 2 1/2 days worth.  Am I the only one that seems not to be able to keep up with them on a daily basis because life kind of gets in the way?  Well gotta go to bed....can't stop yawning and that's not a good thing.

Ciao!
