High winds and pouring rain. blah!
My spinning guild is having our Roc Party or St. Distaff’s party tonight. As is the custom, rather than bringing a grab bag gift, we will be exchanging 2 ounces of our own handspun. I need to wind some off and wrap up.
Not much else is going on —- it is a stormy, gray day and all the dogs & cats are laying about. So am I. I need to get my arse in gear and do something!
are you wondering why I’m not telling you about all the fun I had at Kathleen’s today? her fabulous new kitchen? her delicious vegetarian chili??
does this answer your question ……
do you think someone wants attention?
this week’s letter is B ….
Boar!
and did you notice my favorite B is doing two of my favorite things? bossing the snowblower around while wearing his handspun berretta! Gotta love those weekend snowstorms where I am not the one out there behind that behemoth.
For the record, I was inside whipping up pancakes. We had an ice/snow/wind storm come through here on Saturday night – the roads were in awful shape yesterday (haven’t been out yet today to see if there has been improvement) and we had a tree come down, in addition to branches etc.
Now to the knitting news….. the Jaywalkers are officially on hold now while I wait for the arrival of some Koigu to finish them. I have cast on for the Chinese Sweater using the Brooks Farm Four Play that I picked up in Rhinebeck. I will ignore the calligraphy design and just knit it up as a wide ribbed tunic with the neckline detail. The sweater from Poor Miss Finch that I originally planned was possibly/probably not a good match for this particular yarn blend, so that will have to wait.
Did you come here from Cara’s? Did you see I have been a bad Jaywalker alonger and got a WTF?? Once I saw that, I knew I’d better post something and quick. Freakin Cara. Let me tell you something — there are reasons I haven’t posted about these socks. And here is the main reason:
I HATE THEM.
Am I the only Jaywalker Alonger who is standing in the middle of the intersection whining? I am running out of the fu*king yarn. Yeah. I know. I knew before I started that I would run out. Still, I am pissed.
Margene (who, by the way, never says WTF to me and only sends me presents and I think she sometimes sings me love songs…. I know she at least hums them) actually had some good Jaywalker advise last night and so I have once again picked them up and am working away. But it is more with the cranky air of get-these-things-off-of-my-needles than the giddy happiness of other Jaywalkers.
one more thing ……. today I got a job. A temporary, part time job. The world is always after me to have a job and about every six months or so, someone offers me employment, even though I am not seeking employment. I must look job hungry.
Today it was Kathleen and Granny – so I got me a little bit of a yarn shop gig!
