you people are fantastic …. I think.

Posted by ann

has something like this ever happened to you …… let’s say you lose a bit of weight, or you style your hair differently, or you slap on some make up or something. And then you go out in public and people are complimenting you right and left. You look fantastic! Wow!! Fabulous!! and so on an so forth. And more and more people compliment you and it just doesn’t seem to stop.

At some critical point, do you ever start to feel your nose get out of joint? What the hell? you think. I must have looked like complete and total crap up until now. What was I before all of this fawning, before all of these compliments started coming my way?

I suppose it is all my own fault. One too many fry ups, one too many chicken-viking hats. I post a picture of a lace project and get 22 comments!! I guess I can’t blame you guys for not knowing I can knit – really knit – if all I churn out are the comic relief projects.

Thank you , thank you for all your kind comments on the Trellis Scarf ….. and why yes, I have lost weight. And I do have such a pretty face!

I suppose it is not the best time to show you another FO ……

am I squandering my talents?

I finished the Trellis Scarf last night! Hip Hip Hooray! Today I will be blocking it and am going to follow Yarn’s Harlot instructions. I have high hopes for that string through the edges portion …..

A little bit ago, I won a contest at anapurls with a winning guess of golf club covers. Yesterday’s mail brought the spoils – look at the great prize she sent! The needle case is so elegant,and the stitch markers so pretty. Any ideas on a project for the Patagonia? I love the way that stuff feels! Anyway, a big giant thank you to Ana!

Yesterday’s mail had another package. It was a bonanza – gotta love getting packages! This one from Amazon – Mother’s Day provided the perfect excuse to expand my knitting library …..

Irish Diamond Shawl which I Intend to knit. And look what conveniently arrived in yesterday’s mail, just in time for my “i” …….

That is Jaggerspun Zephyr in a color called Basil. I got it on Ebay and I will say that the color on the ebay site is much more true that my picture. I took that snapshot yesterday and maybe it was too sunny. Although I took it in a shady spot exactly as instructed (by someone who knows more about this type of thing than I do)!

I is also for Invitation!
Care to come sit & knit?
