A Novel Idea

I was reading the Yarn Harlot's blog the other day and she was talking about her husband's Gansey sweater that she has been working on. She made the statement that the Gansey was in its 48 hour cue. Meaning that it is the project that she will work on for the next 48 hours. The concept smacked in the back of the head so hard I thought my teeth would fall out. I love having lots of projects on needles at one time and I get overwhelmed when I feel like I am getting no where fast, but I want to start the "next" cool thing too. So I decided to take the advice and place WIP's in a cue. I think it will help me start new things without taking away from the old ones. I am working on socks from the cover of the Interweave book Favorite socks. I still have the rest of today to work on them, but I have most of the leg done and I think I will get to start the heel flap before its turn is up. Then I'll work on the MS3 for 2 days, and finish up with the brown wrap sweater. I feel really good about the way this is going to work. I let you know if it works! Happy knitting!!

I've been doing that too. I got two pairs of socks finished and finally finished my first skein of a two skein feather and fan scarf I haven't touched since February,

I too thought that might work for me... then I fell off the wagon for the Kauni. I've been knitting it to the exclusion of everything else.

The Birthday Hull

A few of my dear friends, Kara, Kathy, Carrie,Mindy, and Shannon and hubby got together with my family for celebrating my birthday. We went to Brazie's literally right up the street from my house for dinner. None of us had been there before so we were not sure what the food was like. We were a little surprised at how fancy the place was. Of course we had to make fun of the hostess' tasteless outfit of way to short shorts and high heels. She did not fit the rest of the atmosphere at all. Of course we decided that she would if she had on longer shorts. Of course the poking fun continued when one of the bus boys just happened to go to school with both of my kids. He asked DS what he was doing and , son replied "not much of anything". Lawn Guy made some kind of noise and I thought I should crawl under the table as I looked around at my all to knowing friends and our own rolling of the eyes and giggling. Unfortunately, DS doesn't get life, but hey, he's moving out

Dear Gardagami

I wanted to let you and EVERYONE WHO READS MY BLOG AND SEES YOUR NAME - DO NOT OPEN COMMENT!! For some reason there seems to be a virus attached to it! I can't imagine just what I or any others have done to bother you so. Maybe your a hater of the fiber arts? Well if this is the case, then don't read the blogs that include that kind of love. For you fiber related friends, again I must repeat don't open anything that says Gardagami for the blog name.
