Do you want me to start with the knitting part, or the part where other blogger’s sexy husbands are sending me presents?

Fine, but you chicks are twisted ….. yes, yes it’s true! I did order yarn for the facing hem! I decided to forgo the Colinette and instead ordered some Blue Sky Alpaca/Silk from KPixie in the color garnet. While I was at it, I also ordered some dyed cotton in circus peanut. oops! I believe I may have ordered the last of the circus peanut stock because the picture is no longer on their site – it’s a lovely pale orange/peach, exactly like those god awful Circus Peanut candy thingies. I want to try knitting a Baby Surprise jacket and think that cotton might be just the thing. While I am waiting for the order to arrive, I spent my knitting time yesterday working on finishing some long lingering projects. I like to do a little fiberly tidying up in between projects.

Now can I tell you about the sexy part?

Well, you know Nancy? Beside being one cool chick, did you know that Nancy surrounds herself with very sexy guys – and I ain’t talkin’ about her sons?! (although, those two are adorable; just on the young side) Rinaldo, ladies, Rinaldo! when I say his name, in my mind I roll my r’s and emphasize that o at the end. go ahead, you say it – isn’t that sexy? oooo, I just gave myself a little shiver. I first met Rinaldo at Rhinebeck a few years ago. I thought he was very cute. Then he and Nancy bought that house and Rinaldo strapped on a tool belt. Well, that sent me over the edge. First the sexy name, but now the tool belt?! I am a sucker for a guy in a tool belt.

***yes, I meant every pun and innuendo. ; )

Yesterday there was a package on my doorstep. The package seemed to be from Nancy, but then I read the note.

Did you read the part where Rinaldo said I needed it? ahem. need I say more? and did you notice that Nancy put that cute little winkie thing at the end, but you just know she doesn’t mean it?

I wonder if Rinaldo bought Nancy a crumb sweeper?thank you Nancy and Rinaldo!

I hope this doesn’t send Rusty, Kevin & Georgie into a tailspin ……

Yay for me,Vicki, Vicki’s sister, and Flair !!

does that count as four?

these little guys are lined up along the thermostat in our bedroom. I think they are actually tiny erasers.

It is crazy cold here. The outdoor thermometer read 11° this morning and the wind is wild. Our yard is full of branches that came down during the ice storm and today will add even more to the heaps. Once the weather warms up our chipper shredder will be getting a workout. I think I would like spring more if it didn’t mean so much yard work!

I’m making meatloaf for dinner tonight – I have a butcher’s blend of beef, pork and veal. Anyone have an all time favorite recipe?

one more update for the plagiarism saga: D#2 heard that the other four students who were accused as well will also be allowed to rewrite their papers. I did not realize that their cases involved this very same assignment. So I am extra glad to have pursued this – it sounds like there was a lot of confusion regarding the paper.

I realize that the drama of all of this may have blinded you to the very real knitting content of yesterday. Knitting content is something of a rarity around here and I would hate for you to miss it! It involves knitting, mathematics and a very cool doohickey! hurry, don’t be the last to know!

I also forgot to mention that I have decided to approach the Pig of the Day project a bit more methodically. At first I was just snapping pictures willy nilly. But as of this week, I am going room by room. All of this week’s pig pics and most likely next week’s are in my bedroom. I do this as a favor to you all since I understand it is imperative that you know the exact placement of items in my vast pig collection. you’re welcome.

Do you remember those Reese’s commercials where two people would be walking along, one eating a bar of chocolate and the other munching from a peanut butter jar? And they would bonk into each other, co-mingling their respective snacks and each exclaim, “You got chocolate on my peanut butter” “Well you got peanut butter on my chocolate!” and it was kind of lame but we all got the message and here I am how many years later remembering it all so it was worth every penny they spent on that advertising campaign? Well this picture is exactly like that minus the lame business

my two favorite things, together at last!
