I’ve been watching Firefly, drinking Hot Coco, and knitting Monkey Socks tonight. Let’s not talk about work today. Weather Change + Middle Schoolers = Craziness

Been doing anything I can to avoid more marking! Though I fear I must put an end to that because I really do need to hand it in tomorrow
With any luck I’ll be able to add knitting on my chevron scarf if I finish quickly enough!

Glad you will have a good day tomorrow. I plan on choosing knitting projects to bring with me to Vermont next Wednesday. That should take most of the day…..keep changing my mind. Watching kitties are the most enjoyable of activities. Have a latte. Hugs

I’ve been watching the rain and glad to have it. Knitting a neck gater that is going very slowly. but it is with The Knittery marino cashmere. It is really nice. will try and remember to take a pic before it leaves here.
Can’t wait to see pics from the new Loopy Room.
I have been spending too much time on Raverly. My new vice.

Things I am doing: “Live” blogging with the Sox Knitters while watching Game 1 of the World Series – Let’s Go Red Sox!!!!!!
Things I’m looking forward to doing tomorrow: I wish I could say sleeping in, but, alas, I must earn a living to support my yarn habit, among other things, lol. So, I will say going to the Farmer’s Market tomorrow afternoon – its always a nice afternoon break some of my work friends and I do on Thursday afternoons…

Going to Physical Therapy to get my new knee moving–OUCH! Coming home and hitting the couch…then knitting on my Men’s Heavy Weight socks using the “Knitting Pure and Simple” pattern which I LOVE!! Thank you Sheri for making all of us sock knitters so happy!

I have been knitting a sweater with Fiesta Boomerang! I am in love!!! I think I may want to do one of those Chevron Scarves with it so if you can think of a good mix… nothing too bright… let me know!
I have not been doing laundry.
Tomorrow, I’m hoping the smoke will have cleared enough for my eyes to stop burning and to get my boys outside!

Been knitting and napping ( haven’t been feeling well) and watching the intermittent but much needed rain…supposed to get more tomorrow and the next. Given all the restrictions on water use here, rain is a welcome sight! Got my Loopy fix in the mail today and am awaiting another to arrive shortly!! Tomorrow, maybe, I will get to the laundry and start yet another pair of socks!!
Laurie said,

Monica said,

I have been knitting.
Driving the kids all over everywhere. All 3 of them had somewhere to be at the same time, that is always fun.
I made a yummy pot roast for dinner
I haven’t had a latte either
I haven’t done the houswork that really needs to be done and the mountain of laundry has been neglected too.
Brownies with peanut butter frosing sound yummy. The boy child is allergic to all nuts, so that is something I miss… I did sneak a white chocolate reeces cup or two or three today. ( OK it was 3)

I blogged, took one of the kids to the dentist, and mailed out a ton of stuff. Whoohoo!
AND I also got a loopy order in the mail, some lornas that I won off someones blog.
Gina said,

Got my Loopy Ewe order today!! LOVE the colorway! I have been working on a shrug for my daughter for Chrsitmas. It’s that time of year…lots of Christmas present to knit…why did I not start earlier??? I guess it has to do with the weather.
Kristi said,
October 24, 2007 @ 8:02 pm
I left work early to pick up a sick child from school–so good and not-so-good things.
I also found a new sitter so I do not have to come up with a way to clone myself this weekend with two child events overlapping.
However, knitting was not done. Nor lattes.

When I come out of my three-floors-underground office, I’ve been watching it snow, AGAIN. Otherwise, I’m trying to think of a good sock pattern (relatively easy, too) for my Interlacement Tiny Toes in Telemark (215) for a good friend who needs cheering up. She said months ago she wanted socks, “crazy socks,” so I bought the yarn for her, and now seems to be the time to knit it up, I just can’t decide what pattern to do!
And now ti’s time to go home! =)

I have been drinking Mulled Cider, made Binoculars with my son out of two toliet paper tubes and yarn
I have also been VERY slowly knitting a row here and there on the baby’s Christmas Stocking!
I have not been cleaning, have not been planning for the two family birthdays that are within a week of each other and are starting next weekend!
Valerie said,

I’ve been at home with two sick children which sounds unpleasant but means more knitting time for me! I’m close to finishing my alpaca sweater. I would have been done but I decided to add a fair isle yoke so the colourwork is taking me longer. I’ve also been admiring the Loopy Ewe package the postman brought me today, and making apple cake with the apples we picked recently.
I’m looking forward to your brownie recipe. My husband loves that combo.
It sounds like your day wasn’t too great, Sheri, but it looks like things will definitely be picking up tomorrow!
Kathy in KS said,
October 24, 2007 @ 9:10 pm
In between brownie bites, can you tell me how to send you the picture of my Q4 thing? Do I leave it as a comment somewhere, or e-mail it to someone? I’m greatly confused.

I had a VERY special day. I drove to the middle of West Virginia to meet up with one of my dear friends from California who was visiting a friend of hers in Charleston, W.Va. I left a truly special group of quilting buddies when I moved from CA to PA in June, and it was wonderful to see Sandy and her daughter for a few hours. Worth every second of the 300-mile round trip in the rain! The fall foliage in the mountains made it extra-awesome. Add a good book-on-tape for the ride, and i wouldn’t change a minute

Things I have been doing – taking new puppy to obedience class, getting the living room carpet cleaned, starting a new pair of socks with Alpaca Sox tonight – I did have a pumpkin/cinnamon latte this week
Things I haven’t been doing – doing the seasonal clothes switch – just can’t put away those t-shirts just yet in place of sweaters….
I await the new recipe with great anticipation!! Also excited to see photos of the new Loopy Room.

Let’s see: I’ve been attending Lutheran Confirmation Class with my aunt (I am her ride to and from class), I’ve been waiting anxiously for my Loopy Order to arrive, I’ve been trying to decide which new tea (out of four my tea swap pal sent) to try, sending out 400+ flyers to our convention and seminar vendors, preparing for the onslaught of 10% off membership renewals that will be coming my way. I could continue ya know!

Been doing: the eternal everlasting never ending Christmas gift list – today – a sweater for my parent’s dog.
Not doing: feeling well…bleah.

October 24, 2007 @ 11:22 pm
Well, I know you asked about today, but let’s start with yesterday
A friend and I took our first ever drop spindle class and camehome with stuff to practise on. In two weeks we get to try wheels.
But today was swell too!!! I got to go with my son’s 5th grade class on a field trip to a local forest preserve (located in the city of Chicago.) Where we saw 7 deer (6 does and 1 buck), a fat fluffy raccoon, assorted wildly colored fungi and harvested seeds for prairie grasses that will later be used to re-establish other prairie regions.
Just doesn’t get much better than that! Glorious!

October 25, 2007 @ 12:14 am
Well, it’s tomorrow over here, but yesterday was my younger son’s birthday, so I was making his birthday brownies and his birthday supper! Which was a good excuse to not be doing the laundry or the cleaning, although somehow I managed about half an hour of knitting!
I was also glued to the computer a good part of the day checking for the latest on the California wildfires. My sister and her family had to evacuate, but they returned to their home (untouched) last night, so that’s good news.
Enjoy having College Boy home!

Slept late (preparing for another overnight shift), put away all my sandals and got out my fall/winter shoes (the ones that go with the hand-knitted socks…), baked a poppy seed cake, finished my Groupie Appreciation Socks, caught up on e-mail, and went to an orchestra rehearsal. Not looking forward to that night shift tomorrow, but first I’ll be going to see “Dracula” at the Rep! Oh yeah, and planning which yarn I’m going to start up next. Also trying to decide which to use to make a chevron scarf. That’s more than enough.
Love this fall weather!

About the AT&T phone loop…..a couple of years ago I had a problem with them. About a year after I had moved here to Arizona from Chgo, I was suddenly billed for a previous phone number that was my computer connection ONLY # in Illinois. It was never used as a voice line and I had not even HAD the # for over a year. When I called AT&T to explain this, I was speaking to someone in the middle of Asia, who had absolutely NO clue where Chicago was in relationship to northern Arizona and kept telling me that I had to pay it.
After about 5 separate attempts to speak to someone who might understand me (this over a period of several days) I finally called and pressed (or spoke) whatever the correct number was to connect me with a Spanish speaking operator…who naturally was NOT in the middle of Asia. She, of course, also spoke perfect English and I was then able to communicate my problem, which she then solved within minutes. Sometimes you have to be devious!

I’m baking a new recipe-Queen’s muffins ( a takeoff of the Queen’s Cake sold in
Williamsburg, VA bakery), making a new spaghetti sauce is the crockpot, and cleaning(blah!).
Glad to hear college boy is coming home. My son came home last weekend, and it was fun
having all of the college kids around again. I’m sure you’ll end up making something
‘special’. Have a great weekend!

I’m driving my husband to and from the hospital a few times. I was just there all night working too! I’m going to knit something I want to knit because I want to knit it- not because I have to. Thinking about baking something too…

Today I get to take my boys to the apple orchard to pick out a pumpkin (they have a HUGE pumpkin patch behind the farm) & take their annual photograph on a big rock with a really pretty background. I’m going to fling them in the tub first, though, and that will be my time to work on a supersecret pair of socks (for the eldest for Christmas, you see). Then, this evening, we’re going to watch a History Channel production on the Salem witch trials. We’re studying the Colonial period in American history, and it’s an appropriately spooky sort of thing, given our current proximity to Halloween. Oh, and I have to make Eldest Boy’s costume today, too.
All in all, a very fun autumn day for me.
It also includes the maple sugar pumpkin pie I made last night, too…yum.

Doing:

Things I have been doing: drinking too many iced chai lattes (which I make myself), finishing socks, starting new ones, ordering yarn, oh, yes, and working to support above bad yarn-buying habit!
Things I need to do this weekend: make my daughter’s Halloween costume (a table with a plate of spaghetti over her head with yarn spaghetti and pom-pom meatballs), planting next year’s garlic crop, stacking firewood
What I’d rather do – hang out with my cats and knit all weekend!
melissaknits said,
October 25, 2007 @ 9:33 am
Not: focusing, writing a pattern that needs to be done by 2pm, being awake, sipping latte (although this is a good idea)
Am: dawdling on Disney cruise board, pretending I can’t see notes of pattern needed by 2pm, yawning constantly, going to make myself a latte (I told you this was a good idea)
I totally blame the flu shot I had Tuesday.
Kelly said,
October 25, 2007 @ 10:48 am
Hmmm let’s see..lately
Doing: staying awake at work (it’s terribly unbusy!), knitting at my desk (told you it was unbusy), drinking coffee, knitting dishcloths for holiday gifts, teaching DD to make dishcloths (Yes!)
Not doing: actual work, at home not doing laundry, dishes (wonderful finace has been taking care of the cooking and dishes since the fires here caused his campus to be closed)
Want to do: Go home right now!!!
Can’t wait for the recipe!
tina said,
October 25, 2007 @ 10:57 am
Why is it when we get chilly we bake and knit? And have latte’s of course. I’m actually going in to work a bit late today and felt the urge to bake a batch of pumpkin muffins with cinnamon sugar pecans to go with my latte. Having (shamefully) eaten two of them I’m out the door but I’ll be back later to work on my knitting. Mitered square sweater will be finished very soon. Must be the muffins!

– Working
– Cooking dinner for Mama
– Driving to work and home again
– Cleaning

apologize to her this time, they’re pretty obscure.)
- Special
)
– Playing with the cat (OK, so it’s not unique, but it’s ALWAYS special!)
– Actually working on my book (got past the quetion that’s had me
stymied for 3 months!

crocheted in various shopping carts around the Internet

Oh please don’t forget about the pumpkin recipe from your friend! I drool over the recipes almost as much as the yarn. OK, maybe not that much.
LOVE your spaghetti and meatball recipe and the brownies with the frosting w/ heavy cream!

Sheri, I’ve been stuck with the negative stuff – migraines, paying bills, and other yucky stuff! A few good things have crept in after the migraine finally abated – I’ve been trying to work up a decent sock using Crystal Palace’s Bamboozle. Since it’s worsted weight (not what I usually make socks with) I’m struggling. We’ll see. I think I have finally figured out how to use the new cell phone!
Have fun this weekend – enjoy spring break with College Boy.

Hi Sheri,
Just so you know, I knew you were in the middle of moving so I didn’t expect my order for another couple weeks or so. What a wonderful surprise it was to receive it the other day! You are simply AWESOME! Thank you!
BROWNIES: have you ever heard of the Baker’s Edge pan – it makes wonderful brownies where each piece has 2 edges and it takes less baking time. It’s to die for if you are an edge person. Here’s the link: http://www.bakersedge.com/

I’ve been not knitting too. Only I want to be knitting so I’m not happy. I’ve been backing up the files on my laptop before I upgrade the OS. Which I have to do in order to play with my new toy. Which suddenly got a lot more expensive when I had to buy an OS upgrade too in order to use it.

Entertain two children who have been trapped in the house for four days
Try not to breathe smoky air when outside
Knit madly on a sweater because it’s the only thing I can concentrate on
Read Terry Pratchett because it made me laugh
Things I Will Do Tonight:
Drink a margarita
Try to finish this sweater sleeve while
Watching a funny movie

I had a great day. Visited my lys (sorry) at lunch to buy a crochet hook for beading on my stole. Loved the smell of the yarn fumes and spent less than $10 on three items.
After work: haircut, mani, pedi.
Tonight I will have a glass of wine and knit on said stole after the kids go to sleep.
Have a great weekend with College Boy and congrats on the new Loopy Room.

good morning sheri. i’m getting to read your comments late, as has become usual. i did want to tell you that my special projects currently involve basket weaving. we have a family gathering nov. 3 and a sister and neice are getting baskets for their birthdays. then we do a gift game and a couple other family members will be finding baskets as part of those gifts. so, i haven’t knit since finishing a beaded hat, also for that event. i gave lily a large market basket i used to store some basket making supplies in, so of course i’ll need to make something to replace that. i loved the photo a couple blogs back of gracie and zoe. it sure showed how alike their coats are with only the color difference. i’m so happy to hear they took to each other so well. looking forward to seeing more photos of the ‘new’ loopy ewe. have a great time with college guy home and try to find plenty of relaxation and knitting time!!
you deserve it. ( ;

Thank you and your elves for getting my order to me quickly! Now I just need to be able to get started on my Christmas knitting!
Sheri, you are so lucky that your College Guy has a Fall Break! Enjoy your time together this weekend! (My son’s school does not have a fall break. He went back to school in August, and we won’t see him until Thanksgiving week. At least he gets the whole week off then!)
