Yarn Harlot

The Yarn Harlot is coming, the Yarn Harlot is coming, the Yarn Harlot is coming. Ok she will be 3 hours away but I have to go see her. My mom does not knit but she is coming too cos she needs a little one day trip out of the house. Let's see I have to get my copy of Cast Off, I know where it is with my other YH books, my latest modular knitted socks, and my Karen's gloves cos we need to get her into the KAL. Tickets are free and this is on Sunday so ..... I am soooooooooooooooooooooo excited.

Where did my post go from yesterday?

I just wrote some drivel yesterday and it is not showing as being posted but when i go to edit posts there it is, hmmmm something is wonky.

The kite is still in the tree and the eggs were gone when I got back from LA.

I saw most of the eclipse this morning on the way to work, almost a Halloween sky with it, too cool. Let's see if this gets posted.

Where has August Gone?

Wasn't it just August 1? Where has the year gone to, it is just whizzing by so fast I can't even keep up anymore. I got to go home for a week compliments of my job, of course besides having a good work week, I hit Venice Beach, I think we were the freaks cos we were normal; my Dodgers won the game in the 7th inning-they don't play here so I can only watch them on TV, and I spent some time with 2 of my cousins. All in all it was a good trip, the weather was great and I was not here at work.

I been knitting ballbands for xmas presents and found the 12 oz skeins of bernat xmas yarn at Joann's this weekend so bought one of each color and will make an xmas dishcloth for each gift as well.

Will post some picures later this week.

DDOS Exchange

I sent out my box today finally after staring at it for a week and when I got home there was my box, boy did I ever get spoiled. The orange dishcloth is my own pattern and the blue one is a pansy, my knittee's collectible. I sent her some blue/yellow/white yarn, some hot chocolate and tea, a pansy tea bag holder, a knitted bag with chocolate soap, and some M&M calendars for 2008. Hope she likes them.

The one with the ballband cloth is my box I got today, I got SPOILED. I got a yellow/blue ballband cloth, and a blue sailboat cloth. The ballband is one of my favs, how can you go wrong with it. Dark chocolate, pink lemonade, pina colada soap, some yarn to make more dishcloths, a lighted fan to use while it is in the 100's the next two weeks, animal crackers and a pattern book to make some more dishcloths. I LOVE IT<>

NY Yankees

My father is 83 and has been a huge Yankees fan since he was 10, so he has all his wearable stuff but not a dishcloth so here it is. I can not tell you where I got the pattern from, just it made his day because when we went to the game the Yankees lost to the stinking Royals, how humiliating. I am a Dodgers fan being born in LA, so next week I get to go home and see my team play. Hope they win.
