Postscript

Tonight I realized the dearly departed Knitpurlgurl, was the creator of the Walnut Grove shawl.  I now regret now rifting away about how it seemed like she was always pushing that shawl.  In hindsight, I guess I wasn't very nice about complaining about the whole thing, even though I bought the pattern.  I hope that karma isn't going to bite me too hard in the ass about being a witch.

Squirrel!!!!!

Definitely feel like I need the cone of shame today.  I am sooo not concentrating right now!  I really want to finish knitting off all the cotton yarn in granny's dishcloth and get the left dishcloths out to my step-mother before I totally get bored of the pattern.  But I really want to try on knitting on the My Wish shawl by La-La and try something else.  I keep knitting two rows of a dishcloth, dust some, knit two more rows, toss a couple of things into the recycling, knit yet two more, lets clean off the tv stand, vacuum, curse the despotter which doesn't want to despot, knit 3 rows, go to dinner...yeah.  I could have finished this thing about 3 or 4 hours ago.

I am trying to get through a couple of knitting vidcasts.  This is not funny but I have 7.2 days. yes you heard right or read right, over 7 flogging days of vidcasts.  I watch 3 or 4, then the next thing I know, I have 6 more vidcasts.  I know I should just delete some of them but I don't wanna!

Yup, if you have ever seen the film 'Up', you know why I should get the cone of shame!  Or hopefully someone out there will sympathize with me.  Think I will watch vidcasts, watch the Sarah Plain and Tall triology and knit on sometin!

Peace.

PS...Its the 22.5 Degrees pattern that I am working on.  And I figured why I wanted to watch Sarah Plain and Tall.  She likes the colors of the sea, blue, grey, and green.  When I wrote the above I heard Heather of Highland Handmades makes a color variant of the same colors.  Guess it was a subliminal suggestion!

My Heart Is Heavy

Firstly, my heart goes out to the victims families from the Clackamas Mall, in Oregon, and am saddened by the shootings in Newtown, CT.  Makes any knitting success for the week feel totally not a success at all.  Senseless waste. A virtual hug goes out to the whole school.

But on a small note 3 acrylic and 4 cotton dishcloths.  I am going to try to knit more so I can get a bunch more done and sent off to my step mother.  Maybe I can try to make a couple of chenille washcloths out of the same grandma's favorite dishcloth pattern.  (I really would love to get rid of some balls of chenille!)

If I don't post again before the holidays are over, if you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, or any holiday this month, I hope they are safe, happy, and spent with family and friends that are close to you. Thank you all for reading my blog. Also have a good New Years.

Yup, I have been sucked in!

I tried the Grandma's Favorite Dishcloth on acrylic yarn, liked it, did another one.  Ended up at Michael's today and bought 5 skeins of sugar 'n cream.Realized what I was thinking was a mistake in the pattern was actually incorrect thinking because the yarn over makes the hole on the end of the row.  DOH!!!! If Sean from His and Hers podcast can attempt it why can't I?  Just have to make at least 5 of the cotton ones and wash them before the cut off to mail them out to Maryland, I will be a happy camper!  Why do I start these projects during finals weeks and too close to Christmas.  I hope that I am not the only one that does this!  Oy vey!

I am sorry to hear about the Knitpurlgurl.  I have heard through various podcasts/vidcasts that she died about two weeks ago.  My sympathy's go out to her family.  Wish I actually knew her in some way or other before she died, she seemed like a very special person.

Well, back to knitting dishcloths.
