In order to maintain my status as a knitting blogger let me tell you the following:

1. I have finished the pumpkin hat for my cousin’s son
2. I am almost done the first sleeve of Banff and have one to go!
3. I am mulling over The Sweet and Lowdown Chair from the latest Interweave. Love the way it looks, but have no spot for it and have heard the chair itself is uncomfortable.


You will be heartened to learn that I did indeed put my sorry self to bed early last night and am feeling much better. There was a time when lack of sleep didn’t effect me, but those days are over. **perhaps I should work up a list of things I was able to do in my 20’s that I shouldn’t even consider doing now ….

1. drink more than two alcoholic beverages in an evening
2. do cartwheels into the pool
3. pull all-nighters
4. drive for hours without needing a pit stop
5. put up with other peoples’ crap
6. stand on my head
7. sleep double in a single bed
8. touch the bottom drain in the deep end of a pool

I’m sure there are loads more …. what’s on your list?

This is my horoscope:

This past weekend may have been somewhat intense and filled with sudden changes that you hadn’t planned. You Aquarians like it when the lightning strikes and things get turned upside down. As if you haven’t been through enough, today is a crash-course in your learning process. If you can hold onto what is important to you, then you’ll be able to engage others in intelligent discussions, even if your opinions differ.

As you know, the most exciting thing I did this weekend was to try liverwurst.

Today’s thrill quotient isn’t going to be much higher.

And yet my horoscope uses action-packed wording – intense, sudden changes, lightning strikes, crash course etc.

I am so low energy, I will be lucky to make it through the day without tipping over.

Real Horoscope:

Hey Aquarius, you better get your ass into bed at a decent hour tonight, or you can expect more of the same tomorrow. Good luck with holding yourself in an upright position today. Stay away from sudden movements or operating heavy machinery. Your best bet will be to sit in an air conditioned room. Keep your mouth shut for a change – you’re babbling. Keep the eternal knitting set at mindless as to avoid any future frogging. An even better bet would be to go take a nap.
