Rain Rain Go Away
What’s up - Well it’s Friday! Update on our friend Pauline. She’s doing allot better. She’s still having pain in her leg. She’s looking allot better… she needs to slow down a little. I wish she had some help.
What I’m Doing – Friday Night Knit tonight and tomorrow is “The Guild”. It’s always fun to see what people are knitting.
WIP – The “Entrelac Scarf” is still on my needles and put away. I’ve started a baby hat for my daughter’s best friend. Her shower is in 3 weeks. I also plan on making some booties. My “Baby Blue sweater is almost done. The Lace cardigan is to the armhole decreases. The thrum mitten … well I’m going to frog them. The yarn I pick out for this project doesn’t seem to be working. I have something else in mind. I’m trying to concentrate on 2 projects at a time.. well see if this will work.
What Audio Books I’m Listen To – I just finished “Hand of Evil” by J.A. Jance. It was very good and I just started “Lady Killer” by Lisa Scottoline read by Barbara Rosenblast.. one of my favorite readers. This is her new book and I was surprised that the library had a copy!
Weather : Rain Rain and more rain.. you’d think it was “April”
Today: Cloudy with occasional rain showers. High 39F. Winds N at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain
Tonight: Rain and snow showers this evening transitioning to snow showers overnight. Low 33F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precip 60%.
Tomorrow: Snow flurries and snow showers. Temps nearly steady in the mid to upper 30s. Winds ESE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 40%.
Tomorrow night: Snow showers. Low 31F. Winds NE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 50%.

Mood - I feel like a broken record. Still much to do and so little time. Lots of stress. But I get a stress reliever tomorrow….. Chase.
WIP and FO’s - Baby sweater is coming along (see picture). I finished the last sleeve last night after frogging 2 times. Now I just have 30 rows of the body and I’m finished. Hooray. I’m not knitting anymore baby sweater with someone in mind… I will knit and who ever has thier baby… that’s who gets it. My baby gift's will be hat’s or /and booties. I finished the “Umbilical Baby Hat” for my new grandnephew who lives in Japan and mailed today. (see picture) It’s way to big …. Oh well. The Lily Chin sweater is only one set of the pattern down… I better get busy.. next class is Monday. I really don’t plan on keeping up just going and observing. The Brown Sheep cotton is a pain… it keeps splitting. I’m wondering if I should change needles … to my “Denise” needles. The fingerless gloves … well I had to tniK back. :-(.
What I’m Doing - Last week was game night on Friday night. That did cheer me up for awhile – but back to the grind. We played a game called “Hand and Foot”. The biggest score for my team ever. Over 9000 points. Last round we could not get a 2nd red book…. And the other team did not want to go out because we were to far ahead. So…………….. we ended up with 8 black books and 1 red book and almost closed the last. We must have had at least 12 wild cards if you can imagine. It was fun. Tonight “FridayNightKnit@thegrounds. I will pick up Miss Pauline. She is still having circulation problems with her leg and is in allot of pain. Tomorrow I’m taking a sock class through our local guild. It's really a workshop. I know the basic’s of knitting socks, but I can always learn more techniques and get more ideas and this supports our guild! I want to learn 2 Socks at the same time! Any method.
What’s On my I-Pod and What Audio Books I’m Listen To - “Plum Lucky” a Stephanie Plum by Janet Evanovich, is still on my I-Pod and I’ve listened to part. Cute. I’m listening to “The Appeal” by John Grisham on my CD player. Read by Michael Beck. He’s one of my favorite readers. I’m having fun listening to the “Sticks and String” pod-cast. I download all of them (54) and I’m on #30.

Today: Scattered flurries and snow showers. Temps nearly steady in the mid 30s. Winds NNE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 30%.
Tonight: Occasional snow showers. Low around 20F. Winds NE at 5 to 10 mph.Chance of snow.

WIP – The baby sweater….. well it’s on my list to do this weekend. I’ve but the entralac scarf on hold. I signed up for a sweater classed taught by Toni .. it’s a Lily Chin knit with Brown sheep cotton. I missed the first class but I visited with Toni and now I’m on track. I’m also finishing a project my friend Bobbie started.. a pair of fingerless gloves. Almost done.
What I’m Doing - Game night is tonight. I be missing Friday Night Knits @thegrounds. My work is piling up so much to do.. so little time.. or rather people aren’t co-operating.
What Audio Books I’m Listen To - I finished “The Choice” by Nicholas Sparks. I had downloaded it on my I-pod and I took it with me on vacation. Small size and handy. I downloaded the new “Stephanie Plum” by Janet Evanovich. I’ve been listening to pod cast all week. They are

Let it Snow, Let it Snow
What I’m Doing – Friday Night Knit tonight!!!! Yeah. It’s been 3 weeks. I’ve been on vacation til the 3rd of January, then I had a family medical emergency. My very best friend is very sick…she is my family. She lives in the Seattle area. She is the one who has helped me and mentored me all my life, even before I got married. She and I are knitting buds. I flew to seattle after I got back from Hawaii and helped with her care. She is 73 years old and has terminal cancer. I am very sad. She wants us all to be brave and remember she is always with us in spirit. Still it’s hard.
WIP – It’s been awhile since I posted. I mainly worked on the “Entrelace Scarf”. I have to confess…I hate it. It’s soooooooooo slow. I think I have the pattern down though. I will be glad when I’m finished. I worked on the “Blue Baby Boy” sweater. I have one sleeve done. I left the instructions at home so I couldn’t do much. The fingerless gloves are still the back burner.
What Audio Books I’m Listen To – “The Third Degree” by Greg Iles read by David Colacci, was excellent 4***. “The Book of the Dead” by Patricia Cornwell read by my favorite reader Katie Reading - 4****** and “Playing for Pizza by John Grisham read by Christopher Evan Welch – 3*** - It was about at football player… lite reading a different book for Mr. Grisham. I’m still listen to “The Choice” by Nicholas Sparks read by Holster Graham on my IPod.
Weather : Let it snow Let is snow Let it snow…still
Tonight: Light snow this evening will give way to snow showers late. Cold. Low 2F. Winds light and variable. Chance of snow 70%. About one inch of snow expected.
Tomorrow: Scattered snow flurries and snow showers before noon. Becoming partly cloudy later. Cold. High 13F. Winds light and variable. Chance of snow 30%.
Tomorrow night: Partly cloudy skies. Cold. Low -1F. Winds NNW at 5 to 10 mph.
Sunday: Considerable cloudiness. Very cold. High 1F. Winds light and variable.
Monday: Times of sun and clouds. Highs in the upper teens and lows in the low single digits.
