Mood- Friday Night Knits… I’m trying to get the blogspot set up… we will see??
WIP – The “double knit” hat I finally got the hang of it. Some mistakes…I call them design details. I finished the 5 hour babysweater. Will post a picture. I need to block. I’m going to try and steam with my little hand steamer. My small car project is a infant baby hat. I’m on row 10. I’m working at the “Yarn Expo” on Sunday for a few hours. Maybe I’ll get to see Lilly Chin.
What I’m Doing - Hopefully off to knitting. I’ve been working on my blog. Still trying to get things set up with my sidebar. Look I even posted a U-Tube video on knitting. I was really excited about being on someones blog-roll but I went there today and boo hoo she took me off. I’m to shy to ask why. I met the lady… really nice … she showed me her’s and added me on the spot. Oh well.. at least the “knitting grounds” is still up on her site. I will leave her on "My Fav's".
What Audio Books I’m Listen To - Still listening to another J.A. Jance novel “Web of Evil”. Read by Karen Ziemba. I’ve been listening to “Miss Julia Strikes Again”. Very funny and a good listen.
Weather :
Tonight: Steady light rain this evening. Showers continuing overnight. Low around 40F. Winds NNE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 70%.
Tomorrow: Showers in the morning, then partly cloudy in the afternoon. High 52F. Winds light and variable. Chance of rain 40%.
Tomorrow night: Partly cloudy skies early followed by increasing clouds with showers developing later at night. Low 41F. Winds light and variable. Chance of rain 60%.
Sunday: Cloudy. Some light rain is likely. High 46F. Winds SSE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 80%.
Monday: Light rain. Highs in the upper 40s and lows in the upper 30s.

Mood- I’m tired and anxious both at the same. So much to do and so little time – it my work that has me anxious. We gearing up for our “Tackle Show” and although things are coming together.. there not.
WIP – The “double knit” hat is not going well. I didn’t have the right # of stitches on. And I couldn’t get the hang of working with 2 yarns at the class. Every night this week I did work on – I tink’d it about 100 times. Well 10. I’m not happy about. I’m working on a baby hat for my small project.
What I’m Doing - Game night is off so Friday night knitting. I want to start my EZ baby sweater. There are several people including Zaynob who have knit one. This weekend is the Yarn Council Fiber Expo. I can’t afford the classes. I’m going to help in the Guild’s booth on Sunday. Maybe I’ll get more knitting done. We are going to the cabin tomorrow to close it up. I’ll work on DH slippers and hopefully get them done.
What Audio Books I’m Listen To - I finished “Dead Wrong” by J. A. Jance and I also finished “Letter of a Homestead Woman” by Elinore Pruitte Stewart. Letter written by a pioneer woman. It was very good. Now I’m listening to another J.A. Jance novel “Web of Evil”. Read by Karen Ziemba.
Weather :
Tomorrow: Periods of Sun mixed with rain. High 57F. Winds ESE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 80%. Rainfall near a half an inch.
Tomorrow night: Rain likely. Low 49F. Chance of rain 80%.
Sunday: Periods of rain. High around 55F. Winds S at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 90%.

What’s Going On- I’ve been working on my blog. Trying to jazz it up at bit and learn more things. Our “Friday Night Knitting @ The Grounds” would like to create a blog. We would have pictures of each of us and the items we’re knitting and the social things that are going on with us.

Mood- Full and happy! We had a potluck end of the season dinner at work. Hmmm good food and lots of fun.
WIP – I finished Boo Boo’s pullover this week. I posted a picture yesterday. I also finished one of my DH slippers. The guild’s workshop this quarter is “double knit” hat and I have started the homework. I had to cast on with the “provisional” cast on. I went to http://www.knittingatknoon.com/provisional they have a wonderful video showing how cast on with a crochet hook. Makes it very easy.
What I’m Doing - Friday night knitting, I hope. I did not make it last Friday night because of a family crisis. Tomorrow is the guild’s monthly meeting! I just love seeing what everyone is making. They are going to have someone show a simple mitten pattern that we can use for our charity knitting this winter along with hats.
What Audio Books I’m Listen To - I finished “The Sleeping Doll” by Jeffery Deaver very good. We might have a new author to listen to. I’m listening to “Dead Wrong” by J. A. Jance, read by Susan Ericksen.. She’s very good reader. I’m on disk #3.
Weather : Tonight: Showers this evening becoming a steady light rain overnight. Low 51F. Winds SE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 80%.
Tomorrow: Periods of rain. High 57F. Winds ESE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 80%. Rainfall near a half an inch.
Tomorrow night: Rain likely. Low 52F. Winds SSE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 90%. Rainfall possibly over one inch.
Sunday: Periods of rain. High around 55F. Winds S at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 90%.

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%.
