Drat!

So I didn't win the lotto but I did win $1 , so I guess that means I can play again next week. On the knitting front, the wedding planning is sure cutting into my knitting time. I feel like a little robot, work, gym, cook dinner, clean up, watch smutty reality tv, bed.. Sometimes while watching the smutty TV I may knit. In fact I am almost done with motorheads giant cable footies. I think that I just have to do a couple more rounds of the cable pattern then start the decreases for the toe and then kitchener stitch them closed (which takes a bit for me sometimes)..
Best of all now since I have the pattern down pretty well and have the yarn to make myself some...maybe i will :)
I really want to make a clapotis or try out some lace...decisions, decisions...

Molasses

Isn't there those times of the week when work seems to go by sooo slow, like molasses? Ugh..maybe I will win the lotto and then I can quit the TPS reports and either a) have fun b) go back to school and be a nurse like I wanted to or c) move outta cali, start a fun yarn shop and spend my days surrounded by yarn..haha...

Okay a girl can dream, right??

Stash

Lately I have been mesmerized with yarn. I search the sites like http://www.loopyewe.com/ and http://www.kpixie.com/ looking over the beautiful hand dyed yarn. I put items in the cart, but have been able to refrain from buying lately due to my pretty large stash. I am going to try and not buy any more yarn this year. Although I may hint to others about my desire for more yarn..haha...

What I really want to get is another knitting bag, one that doesn't really scream, hey I am a knitting bag. I like the new Namaste Cali series bags..but they don't start shipping until Feb. What is that I was instant gratification, but then again Feb is only a week away so maybe I can hold out. The bags are pretty reasonable as far as knitting bags go and I might sell my lexie barnes flo to make up the difference. Hmm..I wonder if I could put it on ravelry? Any ideas? Since both colors that I like are gone...sniff..sniff.. (then again I should wait until I get paid again in a couple weeks, the bills sucked me dry). I can't figure out which color to get. I like the turquoise and the olive color. Maybe by the time I save up for one the loopy ewe will have some more back in? Votes on color??

Oww..

So I must admit I am not a very good sick person. Then again who is? I would much rather be at home knitting and being sick than be at work sick writing TPS reports.

Knitting Friends

So I had the opportunity to finally meet up with anothe knitter last Thursday and it was great. I met up with Kate at our local coffee shop and we chatted about all sorts of things. Hopefully we can meet up again!! It's nice to finally have met a fellow knitter.
I did have a busy weekend with my best friend L. I drove up to my old stomping grounds for her birthday weekend. We stayed in on Friday with her adorable daugher Delaney and I got a chance to finally try on my wedding dress for someone in person. I am glad that she was as excited as I was about it :) Saturday we went out to sushi and to a local bar and crashed out early. Its true about what they say about getting older..you just can't party like you used to :)

I did have a chance to show her older daughter how to knit..she was so excited :)

S.C.U.B.A

Last night Motorhead and I started taking our SCUBA classes for his certification ( I am taking the class for a refresher). We have to go about twice a week for a month and then do our final dive in the channel islands. I have already been on about 12 or so dives in Hawaii but this will be my first cold water dive and I must say I am not so sure that I am looking forward to freezing my booty off. I know, you wear a wetsuit, but the whole dynamic of the wetsuit is that the suit fills up with water then your body warms the layer between you and the wetsuit keeping your body warm..so its those minutes in between that I think I am dreading the most. OHY!!
I received my coveted package of woolmeise yarn in the mail...it smells heavenly..weird for yarn but true!! I will post pics soon!
