Mood-Everyone is home from Minnesota and the funeral. Things went well. Well this is Friday and it’s a holiday weekend. I excited about a extra day to KNIT!!!! But Tuesday will be wicked here at work.


WIP – Well what can I say about the Pullover. I had to frog the ribbing again. Not a pretty sight. The twisted stitch didn’t look good at all. And my wrist and elbows are giving me fits. I sure hope it doesn’t interfer with my knitting this weekend at the cabin. I’m almost done with one of my DH slippers. I ‘m almost done with the wash cloth with the twisted stitch. I do think it looks good but not on that particular sweater pattern. I got my camera back so I have to work on pictures.

What I’m Doing
– Friday night knitting as usual and we’re going to the cabin for tomorrow and the fair on Sunday or Monday.

What Audio Books I’m Listen To – “The Sleeping Doll” by Jeffery Deaver Read By Anne Twomey. On disk 6 of 13 very good – I’ve just not had time for listening and knitting this week.

Weather
Tonight: Rain Showers this evening. High 64 low 49
Tommorrow: Partly cloudy in the morning. Rain showers later in the day.
Sunday: Considerable cloudiness with occasional rain showers. High 56F
Monday: Showers possible in the afternoon. Highs in the upper 50s and lows in the upper 40s.

Mood- This is a very sad week. My father in law passed away. He has been sick but we thought he was getting stronger. He was 86 years old and had lived a full and wonderful life. Now he’s with the Lord. My DH and DD are in Minnesota for the funeral. I could not get off work for this service but will get off for the Arizona service….but I still wish I could be there for support. All alone and what do you do…. Pray and Knit!

WIP- Pullover for Boo-Boo is almost done. I think that’s a repeat. I did finish the sleeves and have start the bottom ribbing.. I’m going to use the twisted stitch. I’ve been practicing on a wash cloth. My knitting friend at work showed me the technique but pointed out I was twisting every row on the knits. For the bottom she recommends every other row. Hmm I’ll try and see. I’ll let everyone know. I planned on taking a picture of my wash cloth but my daughter has my camera in Minnesota. .

What I’m Doing – Friday night knitting and garage sales tomorrow. Looking for good deals. Now is the time to good used cloths for Boo-Boo.

What Audio Books I’m Listen To –“The Sleeping Doll” by Jeffery Deaver. Read By Anne Twomey. Very good so far.

Weather -Tonight: Showers this evening becoming less numerous overnight.Low 49F. chance for rain. Tommorrow: Partly Cloudy –
High 64- Sunday: High skies – High of 60.Rain on Monday.

Mood- Tonight is game night so no knitting..
whine. I feel like knitting not playing cards. I will knit
tommorrw at the cabin.

WIP –The pullover for Boo-Boo is almost finished .. a friend at work showed me the twisted stitch for the bottom ribbing. I finished the other sleeve last night.. but the ribbing is tighter so I will frog the left sleeve and re-do the cuff. I finished another washcloth. I started the “The 5 hour Baby Sweater” revised pattern. I started it a Friday night knitting and they showed me how to do the M1 and knit into the back. Well……….reading the instructions (after your past the 9th row) it say’s to use EZ backward loop M1. That is not what I was shown, or at least what I thought I was shown. “Pick up the bar between the two stiches and knit into the back” is not the same as making a backward loop and put on left needle then knit into the back. Sigh I sure hope I will not have to Frog this sweater too.

What I’m Doing – Game night with the girls.. “Hand and Foot” and potluck then to the cabin tomorrow and some serious knitting on my DH felted slippers.

What Audio Books I’m Listen To – I finished “At Knit’s End” audio by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, a birthday present and I am starting “Double Homicide” by Faye and Jonathan Kellerman. Good so far.

Weather Tonight:: Partly cloudy. Low 53F.
Tommorrow: Intervals of clouds and sunshine. High 63F.
Sunday: Cloudy with a few showers. High 59F.
Chance of rain 30%.

Mood- Sad.. I had to frog my sweater not enough yarn.
