What’s Going On - We're staying home this weekend. I hope to plant flowers, go garage saleing, and KNIT.
WIP – I'm still working on DH felted slippers - I did get allot done. I'm on the 9 section of the Forest Canopy Shawl" and...... I'm sure happy for life-lines. I'm thinking of getting some of the "new NORO sock yarn" that Zaynab just got in - I'll take a picture of it after I decide on the color--- like I need more sock yarn.
What Audio Books I’m Listen To – "The Front" by Patrica Cornwell.. read by my favorite reader... Kate Reading. In the car - "Critical" by Robin Cook read by George Guidall.
I finished "Compulsion" by Jonathan Kellerman rb: John Rubinstein. 5* very good.

What’s Going On - – Memorial day on the way!!! Finally a 3 day weekend.
WIP – I’m working on the “Forest Canopy Shawl”. I think I finally got the hang of it. I love the way you can add a life line with the “knit pick” needles. Now if I can remember the Yarn overs! I’m also trying to finish the “buttonhole” purse. I plan on giving it to a friend moving to Illinois. I taught her to knit last year. She’s a natural. I also have been trying to finish my “baby socks” that I started from the “Sock Seminar” in April.
What I’m Doing – We are planning on going to the cabin tomorrow for a day. Some serious knitting will be done. I’ll be working on my DH “felted clogs”. I work on felted items when sitting by the “fire”
What Audio Books I’m Listen To – I finished “HOME TO HOLLY SPRINGS” by Jan Karon. I love Father Tim and I’m glad this is the first of a series. I also finished “THE 2 MINUTE RULE”. Now I’m listening to “THE SISTERHOOD” by Michal Palmer. Very good. A medical murder mystery.
What's On My Night Stand – PEOPLE OF THE WEEPING EYE by Kathleen O’Neal Gear and Micheal Gear. Very good. About the people of America- The great Mississippian chiefdom's from long ago before civilization and Columbus. The authors are very knowledgeable historians and archaeologists. Almost done then on toe “BEFORE GREEN GABLES” by Budge Wilson.
Weather -
Today: Overcast with rain showers at times. High 51F. Winds SSE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 60%.
Tomorrow: Partly cloudy skies in the morning will give way to cloudy skies during the afternoon. High 56F. Winds SW at 10 to 15 mph.
Sunday: Occasional showers possible. Highs in the mid 50s and lows in the low 40s.
Monday: More sun than clouds. Highs in the mid 50s and lows in the low 40s.

What's up – Well it’s Friday and time to update. It’s Boo Boo’s birthday weekend so it will be busy. Also tonight is game nite. I plan on going by knitting first then on with hubby. The short row seminar last week was good and I was able to work on my short row scarf or rather start over. The technique we learned does look better. I was not picking up my stitch correctly. Next week we gear up at work for the summer. I think things will be a little slower here with the gas $$$. I finished my friend’s babysweater for her Great Grandson yesterday and got it in the mail today. His birthday is the 23 and Boo Boo’s is the 21st so they are very close in age. I also sent Renee her Birthday present. A book on Looming and a small loom for making baby hats.
WIP - I blocked the babysweater using the wet towel method. It worked great. I think finding the buttons and sewing them is one of the hardest things when it comes to sweaters. I think I will always try attached the buttons while I knit.. it makes it so much easier. I started the “Forest Canopy Shawl”. Several people on Friday Nights are knitting. There are several pictures posted on “Friday Night Knits” blog. I also started the “Toe up Socks” – Magic loop technique. Man … finally settled on the “figure-8” cast on.
What Audio Books I’m Listen To – Still listening to "Home to Holly Springs" by Jan Karon. And the car – “2 Minute Rule” by Robert Crais, RB: Christopher Graybill. It’s a book about ex-con Max Holman who get out of jail and tries to connect with his son. The son (a police officer) gets killed before that can happen and Max tries to put the pieces together. Very good so far.
Weather : Is is summer yet?

Mood- Happy - off to "Friday Night Knit" at "The Ground" tonight. I can't wait to see all my knitting friends. But it's snowing .. and they say don't drive....
WIP - Finishing on a baby sweater that my late friend. Needs to be done by May 5th. Whoops I better hurry. I will post a picture of WIP. I am also working on 2 socks at the same time. I am going to frog though.
What Audio Books I’m Listen To - I've been listening to "Sticks and Strings" and "Knitpick Podcast" with Kelley Petkum. The subject is interesting... but I wish she would just read her script. I don't exactly know what it is.... She talks then a long pause.. anyway when she interviews people she's allot better. She is improving.
Weather : It's snowed today 6 inches and is still snowing. Is it really spring or is it "Global Warming"?

I decided that I’m going to frog all the project I have on needles that I don’t like pattern or what is going on.. ie wrong yarn… project not working out…etc. Why waste the time and effort if I don’t like. So this was the first project to be “FROGGED”.
What Audio Books I’m Listen To - I listened to the “THE OUTLOOK” by Micheal Connelly 5*****. I also listened to “LONG TIME GONE” by J. A. Jance, read by Tim Jerome 4****. I actually read a book too.. “The Parting” by Beverly Lewis. 5*****.

Tonight: Cloudy intervals. Low around 30F. Winds light and variable.
Tomorrow: Partly cloudy skies. High 47F. Winds light and variable.
Tomorrow night: Partly cloudy skies. Low 33F. Winds SW at 5 to 10 mph.

What’s up - We had a wonderful Easter!
WIP – The “Blue boy baby sweater” is finished!!! I have also finished a newborn hat.. hmm. The booties I made with matching yarn.. well that’s another subject. I didn’t have enough yarn. So I’m going to keep as a sample. I need 6 oz of yarn on size 3 needle. Oh well I though I weighted 13 oz. Guess not. Everything is on hold for now. Fingerless gloves, scarf, etc. Now I have to figure what to take on vacation to Az.
What I’m Doing - My husband and I are headed for Az. We have someone to watch the dog and someone to say at the house and we are are having one of our bathrooms remodeled while we are gone. Lots going on. We are have my DH father’s memorial service next week so we will have lots of family. The Az. House has been sitting for 9 months…hmmm lots of cleaning but then lots of sun. I’ve got to pack and get everything ready.
What Audio Books I’m Listen To – I finished “Lady Killer” by Lisa Scottoline- I loved it. I’m just finishing ”Double Cross” by James Patterson. Very thrilling.
Weather : Its spring.. hoorah and the roads are dry but all the cars are muddy.
