No photos

My daughter has my camera so I can't post any photo's! Lovely child, but she doesn't return stuff.

I finished a baby hat using the same pretty lace pattern that I'm using for my STR socks. Finished a pillow for my friends art gallery.

Finished the gussett of sock two, can't wait to wear them, so pretty!

Need to shop for my JLT swap partener today or tomorrow. Want to get it done before I'm no longer mobile! So many choices for her! Sssh...she might read this, but probably not, I don't think anyone does. No matter.

Working as a para sub again today for E. She's really sweet but I can see that her life will be difficult, hopefully some special classes in her future to help prepare her for life. Gotta run!

Baby Hats

Wed as I'm tying on the cards and getting the warmupamerica package ready to mail, I realize that I only have 10 hats! There are 12 from my mom and only 10 from me...ack! So this am I finished knitting the 2nd hat. DD took my camera, but 1 was a burgundy tweed yarn and 1 was white red heart with a purple stripe, just cause I got bored knitting the plain white.

Mailing it tomorrow as well as as the lace baby hat. Glad someone will get use out of it.

Sat is the day the Townies get their swap parteners! I have to work 9-3 with Nut rehearsals then run to the flu shot clinic before I can get to computer to see who I have, then out to YARNS to buy my parteners yarn. I always feel guilty that I don't support them (as you know I have been knitting up stash yarn since Jan!) (although I was mighty tempted by the Uncle Sam Opal at astrids site! Since I found out that JKL needles was out of business (even though the site is still up and acts like it takes your order!)I'm still searching for new needles for the halloween vest because the addi's are driving me nuts.

AND TODAY MY COMPUTER GETS WEIRD! Music teacher gave me a cd to copy off the song I'm doing choral-ography for the boys for. It ripped okay, but NOW I can't hear any of my music files! I've tried all the troubleshooting stuff and still nothing, only sound coming out of speakers when I try to play a music file is a "purring" sound. Computer makes all it's other sounds (dings, chimes, etc) just won't play my music.
sigh...this is serious...I can't edit my studio music if I can't hear it.

Friday the 13th!



I've never minded Friday the 13th...and after Monday the 9th...this can only be a breeze! Monday was one crisis after another, including my "almost-daughter" D getting seriously injured in an incident at school when a weightlifting bar slipped and fell on her neck, striking her in the head. 1st cat scan showed neck not broken, 1st MRI showed concussion, waiting results of 2nd MRI to show if there is a tear at C3 or not. A scary time for her family and those who love her.

The blue pillow is a stash buster...just used up some odds and ends of blue stuff. Kind of cute I think.
The sock is STR Club sock color Tatania, pattern Central Air. Colors are much prettier than they show!

Friday Oct 6,2006




Well, I have ripped back, reknit dropped stitches, and reknit rows on that Halloween vest and even got 1 new row I'd never knit before done! I always think it's going to be fun to make these incredible color work things and I end up driving myself nuts. Can't wait for my Crystal Palace needles to show up, I really, really, don't like these Addi turbos's. The Socks are STR Tatania (club sock #4) in the simpler Cabin Air pattern. I really like the colors, I don't have too many darker toned socks. I decided not to carry the pattern down the foot as my sneakers press on the top of my foot a little and I don't like the feeling with a patterned foot.

My knee feels soo good today, the cortisone shot kicked in, nearly pain free for 1st time in 6 weeks! woo hoo!

Sunday 10/3/06


Last night was so much fun at my friends Gregg and Shelley's 30th Anniversary/50th Birthdays party. Always fun to be with the cyrcle! Tried to dance without using my knee but it really hurt this am, so much not have been successfull!

Knit on the halloween sweater and the socks today, trimmed some more iris, read a good deal of Rocky Road to Romance (love Janet Evanovich!) and wrote payroll checks! Busy day for a goof-ooff day.

Tomorrow I take Kate the Russian Ballerina to the Manhattan,Ks airport to leave on the next leg of her training tour for the Moscow Ballet Nutcracker. We've had a very nice visit, but I'm a little concerned because she stayed in her room all day today. Don't know if she's just resting or whats up? Enjoyed having her stay, and hope to keep in touch with her as she returns home.
