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.

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
fun…. I especially like “Sticks & String…. David Reidy from “down under”. I download all 50 of his pod cast.

The fingerless gloves are still the back burner.

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

Tomorrow: Scattered snow flurries and snow showers before noon. Becoming partly cloudy later. Cold. High 13F. Winds light and variable. Chance of snow 30%.

What’s up - Well our good friend “Pauline” is in the hospital and we don’t know what’s
Going on. SSSSSSSSSSSSSooooooo we are concerned.
WIP – I ran out of yarn for the “Blue boy baby sweater”. I was able to purchase 3 more skeins. Only 66 yard a skein. I must have misread the yardage. I finished “Mint Green Helmet Hat”. Zaynab helped me @ Friday Night Knits. I worked on the “Entrelac Scarf” for a few hours this week. I’ve just be to blue. The fingerless gloves … well the one is still on the needle.
What I’m Doing - Babysit “Boo Boo” tonight. I will go to knitting for a couple of hours. Our friend Aaron is going to show us some blogging tips and how to make uploading pictures easier. My husband and I are going to a basketball game tomorrow night again! I will take my knitting. I had a lady intrigued with the I-Cord finish of the Mint Green Hat. It was fun talking with her.
What Audio Books I’m Listen To – “The Game of Silence” by Louise Erdrich read by Anne Fields is very good and I’m almost done. It was a very sweet book. I’m going to look for more of her books. Still listenting to “Eye Contact” by Cammie Mc Govern on a playaway. I need to listen more not just a exercise.
Weather : Let it snow Let is snow Let it snow !
Tonight: Mainly clear. Low 21F. Winds light and variable.
Tomorrow: Mainly sunny. High 27F. Winds light and variable.
Tomorrow night: Clear. Low 23F. Winds NNE at 5 to 10 mph.

What’s up - Thanksgiving is over!!! Now on to Christmas.
WIP – The “Blue boy baby sweater” is coming along. I’m to sleeve #1. I’ve gotten 3 buttons added. The baby is already here! Sooooo I better hurry. I’m almost finished with the “Mint Green Helmet Hat”. I’m taking it to knitting tonight to find out how everyone finished their’s. I have an idea but before I commit I want to check out the options. I went to a reverse knitting class 2 weeks ago and am making an “Entrelac Scarf”. Also on the needles still……..the fingerless gloves. I did add the waste yarn.
What I’m Doing - My husband and I are going to a basketball game tomorrow night and of course I’m off to to knitting tonight and tomorrow. I want to start baking for Christmas. I went with a friend shopping on “Black Friday” and got some shopping done. Not many gifts this year as we’re going to Hawaii on Christmas Eve. My darling daughter told me not to decorate but I still put up most my “Christmas” stuff. Just because we’re not going to be here on Christmas what about the 30 days before? She does not have to decorate because they sold there house and now they are scrabbling to find a new house.
What Audio Books I’m Listen To – I finished “The Garden of Eden” by Fay Kellerman read by read by George Guidall and others. This audio book is a collection short stories. It was very good. Now I’m listening to “The Game of Silence” by Louise Erdrich read by Anne Fields. This is rated as a “juvenile” book but I find it very good. About american Indians and the 1600’s.
I’m still listening to “Eye Contact” by Cammie Mc Govern on a playaway. It’s easy to take along to “Curves” and listen while I’m working out!
Weather : Brrr….. it’s getting cold. Our snow is all gone. And the roads are pretty dry for drivng!
Tonight: Mainly clear. Low 21F. Winds light and variable.
Tomorrow: Mainly sunny. High 27F. Winds light and variable.
Tomorrow night: Clear. Low 23F. Winds NNE at 5 to 10 mph.
Sunday: Plenty of sun. Highs in the low teens with temperatures nearly steady overnite.
