Three Things Post and a CONTEST!
Here’s a twist on my regular “Three Things” post. Today it’s “Two Truths and a Lie”. I’m just betting you will have no trouble figuring out the lies….
Three things that I must stop doing:
- eating Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies
- going to bed late because I’m “not tired yet”
- knitting single socks
Three things that I am looking forward to next week:
- our appointment with the tax guy
- College Guy coming home for Spring Break
- our week’s vacation in the Colorado mountains starting next Friday
Three things that will be going up in the next Sneak Up:
- roving (from Lone Star Arts and The Dyeing Arts)
- yarn (from Keagan Lane and Farmhouse Fannie’s Fingering)
- swimming suits (summer is coming, you know)
Three things that I did this week:
- laundry
- made cookies with my new Kitchenaid Mixer (of course RED)
- went out to dinner with WH
Three records broken this week:
- 5 minutes (the time it took to sell out the entire batch of Wollmeise)
- 3800+ posts (which now means the Loopy Groupies hold the Ravelry record for one thread!)
- 10 socks (the number of socks I made to match up to some of the singles)
Three things I had to buy at the grocery store this week:
- Eggs
- Almonds
- Milk
Three reasons to leave a comment today:
- this is the March Blog Contest. Winner announced next Wednesday
- you like to make lists of “three”, too
- everyone who comments gets a free latte
Sheri yourememberthatonethingineachlistisalie,right??
(Sonofreelattesforeveryonewhocomments.sorry.)
- interesting
- educational
- funny
- agree
- disagree
- love

3 things that broke this week, the pool chlorinator, the vacuum, and the stupid dryer vent!!! # things that I want for next week, a new job, all the broken things to be fixed, and time to knit. 3 things that I will have to do laundry, work, and go on a job interview.

Three things I love and one not true.
1. Going to work
2. Tax time
3. Being a homeschooler.
Since you don’t know me that well, I’ll leave with a hint on which one isn’t true. I had to do it for 15 hours last weekend when someone didn’t show up.

3 Things That Impressed Me This Week:
1) My March Sock Club kit – LOVE IT!
2) Sheri & Elves keeping up with with the mailings
3) The Vanishing Wollmeise – now you see it, now you don’t (FPS)
I also have the red KitchenAid mixer. I love how it shines brightly on my kitchen counter. The cookies seem to taste better with using it too
Thanks for all your hard work this week! I hope you find time to relax and enjoy some peace & quiet.

Oooh, congrats on the new Kitchenaid mixer! I got one as a wedding gift from my Grandmother, and I LOVE IT. I actually feel guilty that I haven’t been doing much baking lately though — maybe this weekend. Did you get any fun attachments for it? I’m thinking about getting the pasta-maker one!
Have a good weekend!!

For Laura – a site you might enjoy bookmarking is http://televisionwithoutpity They keep track of many shows (including Survivor) with pithy (and often hilarious) commentaries – no holds barred. There is usually a quick recap of an episode the day after and then a blow-by-blow version almost as good as watching the whole episode several days after. Excellent for when you miss your favorite show.
Three things….(and funny, but we make new employees do 2 truths & a lie and then everybody guesses the lie)….
Three things I’m doing this weekend (all true):
1. NOT WORKING (which makes it much better than last weekend
2. KNITTING a lot, including meeting up with my knit group tomorrow a.m.
3. Poring over my recipe books for something new – I love to cook a lot on Sundays when I have a relaxed weekend

Martha DC said,
March 14, 2008 @ 1:06 pm
Two true and one false
1. love to knit
2. love to clean house
3. buy yarn from Loopy Ewe.
guess which on is a lie? (#2)
Sign me up for being a contributor to the longest blog on record at Ravelry. Yes I got up at 6am and turned my computer on and saw the same people who had been on the night before still there waiting for the sneak up. Yes I was very lucky to get some wollmeise for myself and a good friend. We had planed what we wanted the night before and I have an account with Paypal so it was a fast and furious … F5,, click on buy, click on buy, click on buy ,, check out, choose Paypal, login and accept and get a confirmation order. (thank God I am a trained purchaser of Loopy Ewe yarn and know how to get what I want and check out quickly)
BTW all I keep hearing about at the office is March Madness and these guys don’t knit so I wonder how they heard about the Wollmeise blowing out in only 5 minutes. That is what they mean when they say March Madness…. right?

Three things I did yesterday instead of resting from my cold:

And all of these are true!

Wow, I can’t believe the Wollmeise went in five minutes. I knew I was lucky to get a skein, but I didn’t realize how lucky. This was probably at least my third time trying to purchase Wollmeise. When the LE first started to carry it, I almost got a skein, but I didn’t really like the colors available so I let it go. This time the colors were great. I got Rittersporn.
All three of these things are true:
1. This week I became a Loopy Groupie
2. This week I got a skein of Wollmeise
3. This week I was very weepy (long story). If it wasn’t for the small joys that the Loopie Ewe brought me, I would have been even weepier.

2. Finishing the Cobblestone I’m knitting for the Hubster
3. Getting “my” crap picked up enough so Hubster’s foul mood will back off.
Yeah, 3 is the lie. But it’s his b-day on Sunday, so I should do it anyway, right? It’s just tough since I’ve been traveling on business for three weeks, just got home, and really just want to sleep and knit/quilt. Oh well!

I forgot to mention on my previous blog that I love not getting the pictures on
your blog and then the next day getting the pictures, and the next day they are
gone again. My computer fairies or yours. Have fun with your new kitchen aid.
I also love my knitting, and seeing what other people are knitting.

A Random List of Three
1. Getting bitten by a spider is not fun, especially when the bite gets infected and the dr gives you some stitches when he drains it.
2. A surprise dinner with friends can definitely cheer a girl up

Three unusual things this week:
1. BFF Liz spent all week in the hospital with pneumonia and no internet.
2. My friend Kendra got sick and had to cancel breakfast.
3. My mother had three BAD arthritis days.
Three things that cheered me up this week:
1. My crocuses, tulips, and daffodils have all poked up above
ground and may start blooming sometime soon.
2. My cat has learned to wash dishes.
3. I’m almost finished crocheting the Bohus Scarf (Spr 2007 Interweave
Crochet, out of Trekking XXL Color 100) and it’s REALLY cool!
Three reasons I can hardly wait for Easter to come:
1. The Choir will sing or practice 7 times in 8 days and it’s really
fun to stand up that much and perform beautiful music.
2. I gave up yarn shopping for Lent.
3. I gave up baked goods AND ice cream, too.
Three things I’m excited about for the weekend:
1. The one-year-old birthday party tomorrow.
2. A chance to get my room at least partially cleaned
(read: Stash sorting).

Well, since I am about 26 months pregnant (my due date is actually 15 days away), my two truths & a lie are related to the baby:
Three Things I accomplished this week:
1. Prayed that God would send me into labor soon.
2. Did some crazy things to try to send myself into labor (including jogging, painting my basement and eating White Castles hamburgers)
3. Actually went into labor.
Guess which one is the lie!

Three things I love:
-allergies and asthma being set off, letting me know spring is truly here
-watching Hokies play basketball like they know what they’re doing while I knit Hokie socks. This may not last much longer, must enjoy while it does.
-NASCAR is practically in my hometown this weekend, providing excuse to stay at home and knit in front of TV while races are on instead of doing housework. A practice allowed and encouraged by family during certain sacred-to-us sporting events. No having to cook, clean or make mandatory visits.
A definite truth: Covering your knitting habit with the appearance of being a sports junkie will give you unlimited knitting time in my household. Just don’t slip up and accidentally use the wrong terminology for the sport currently on the tube, thus blowing your cover. It’s also a great time to make guesses as to who will win and using “you’ll buy me this yarn from TLE if I’m right” as your part of the contest.
Leslie said,
March 14, 2008 @ 4:35 pm
Okay, I’ll play:
Three things you will read at 3:00 am on the Ravlery F5 thread waiting for a Wollmeise Sneak Up:

2) I don’t care how long it takes, I’m not going to bed until she puts up that Wollmeise.
3) I don’t like Wollmeise.

1. Not much sleep the night before from chatting with fellow Loopies on that record long Ravelry thread
2. What is the Wollmeise sneak-up went up when I was on the bus? Couldn’t be risked

Three things that I would really love…..to have made it into the sock club this year, to lose 50 pounds and to be shopping at TLE.
Enjoy Colorado for me, it is one of my most favorite places. I’m sure I wouldn’t even mind the snow so much if I lived in Colorado. At least it would be prettier that it is in Ohio.

For you, dear Sheri, “3 Things I’m Procrastinating, Right This Moment:”

Three things:

2) went to Winnipeg, found winter

2. The happy spring weather that Chicagoland has seen for the last three days (seriously freaking out about happy weather — in a good way!).
3. I’m starting a new DIC Smooshy sock in Visual Purple that I bought from you a little while back. Going to try Yarnissima’s Firestarter pattern — which means my first attempt at toe-up socks. Yay!

3 things about a Wollmeise Sneak Up:
1). Loopy Groupies are the awsomest group on Ravelry
2). Getting sucked into the F5ing thread was the most fun I had this week.(pathetic, huh?)
3). I didn’t really what any Wollmeise anyway.
Hmmmmm…i wonder which one????
Jess said,
March 14, 2008 @ 7:37 pm
Three things to be thankful for today:

I heard about the Ravelry thread, it made my day…as did the 5 minute wollmeise sell-out

Two truths and a lie: I can’t wait to receive my latest Loopy order which will contain
1. Scarlet Fleece “I See Red” and Malabrigo lace yarns.
2. Chocolate Loopy kisses
3. Wollmeise
I emerged from the sneak-up empty-carted, but a winner nonetheless–the money I “saved” on Wollmeise was immediately invested in a ball winder and umbrella swift. Oh, and the aforementioned yarns with which to practice ‘cake making.’
Annette said,
March 14, 2008 @ 7:41 pm
What the mailman brought me today:

Three things I need to “Flylady Fling” (in the fashion of Two Truths and a Lie):
1. My pre-pregnancy jeans. I’ve been post-pregnant for three years now, and I still can’t get those stinkin’ things on.
2. All of the goofy McDonald’s Happy Meal toys that have gone untouched since they arrived in my home.
3. That unsightly skein of Wollmeise that I scored during yesterday’s Sneak-Up. I picked it up today, and it’s horribly repulsive.
(My apologies. I’m still hyped on my F5 adrenaline…)

Hmmm. Two truths and a lie. Let’s see:
1. Although it’s soon to be spring (or, I hope it’s soon to be spring), I can’t help drooling over patterns for bulky wool cowls and stranded mittens (hello, lovely Fiddlehead mitten pattern!)
2. I’ve lived in the Amazon rainforest. It’s gorgeous.
3. I hope it snows some more in Michigan. Because I really hate warm weather. And spring. And sunshine.
Have a great night, Sheri!
P.S. Number 3 is the lie. Yes, I’ve lived in the rainforest. Amazing. But lots and lots of bugs.

I only buy yarn:
1. When it is on sale.
2. When I have a project in mind.
3. When I have the available cash.

I am (im)patiently waiting the arrival of my very first Loopy order on my doorstep and I couldn’t be more excited! My three things (two truth, one lie):
1) I ordered delicious sock yarn to make a couple of gifts.
2) I treated myself to a small namaste needle holder as well.
3) I haven’t been calling home twice a day all week to see if the order has arrived yet!
I’m in Canada so I’m not sure how long the shipping will end up taking (but darn these ladies sure got the order out fast!) so the suspense is all part of the fun! At least that is what I’m telling myself LOL!!

I don’t get it. Am I supposed to make a list with a lie? Or just say hi to you in a comment to get an entry into your contest?
Here are my three things ok?
1) I’mfreakingoutbecauseI’vebeenmaderedundantandIdon’thaveanewjobyetandwe justboughtahouse! (Bad things are more palatable without spaces in their sentences.)
2) I’ve decided that I probably don’t need any more yarn. Especially sock yarn. Especially when we’ve got a mortgage to pay.
3) I have incredibly bad luck. With most people bad things happen in threes. With me it’s more like fortytwos.
P.S.- I’ve got some Wollmeise and it’s fantastic. I believe completely it would sell out in 5 minutes.
P.P.S.- A latte would really do me good right now. It’s a shame we’re all liars today!

2. a job (since mine is getting “outsourced” this year.
3. wollmeise. (I really want it. Almost had it. Couldn’t get my credit card info in fast enough. Have you ever considered just having that info on file? That would be make ordering so much faster..)

Three Things I Am Looking Forward to This Week:
1. Trying my new plan to be organized about cooking dinner (opposed to the old plan, which was be kind of lazy and eat a frozen pizza or Chex mix). My new plan involves a white board and a grocery list!
2. Cleaning my apartment (which sounds weird, but it’s kind of gross in here right now) so it will look presentable for when my friends come over on Saturday for a scrapbooking extravaganza.
3. Watching American Idol while knitting socks!

3 Things I don’t like about listing 3 things:
1. 3 is never enough. I always have more than 3 things to do. More than 3 things I want to eat. More than 3 things I want to knit. More than 3 kids… Always, more than 3 loads of laundry to do.
2. 3 is an uneven number. I don’t like uneven numbers. I always said I had to have an even number of kids (that’s how we ended up with 4 kids). Obviously I have more than 3 issues too. I’d prefer to list at least 4 things. That’s a nice tidy number.
3. Bad things always happen in threes. So, surely that means that by only listing three things I’m bringing bad luck on me. Yet, again those issues are apparently coming up.
But seeing as you asked for us to list 3 things, I will be obedient and list 3 things that I want.
1. Wollmeise
2. A yarn room
3. 48 hour days, so that I have more time to knit.
(plus I want chocolate – always chocolate.)

3 most delightful things that I got to do last week:
1. Go back to the Philippines to be the cord sponsor at my best friend’s wedding! (You’d think that with a 27+ hour plane journey I WOULD have gotten some knitting done, but… I’m so used to the flight that I just put my head down and didn’t wake up except to eat!)
2. Was forced by said friend into girliness via my first facial, pedicure, and manicure EVER (I’m still coping with the candy-apple red of my nails!)
3. Go ballroom dancing with my grandmother, the way I always do when I go home. (Sadly untrue–this is the FIRST time I’ve gone home that I haven’t gone ballroom dancing with her and her ladies.)
No shot at the Wollmeise for me, though–not only is it a 12-hour time difference, we don’t have Internet at home! *laugh*
I’m kind of glad we don’t, though… if I’d missed out on even a moment of time with my friends and family because I’d been F5ing, I’d have been KICKING myself! No yarn is worth that! ^_~

Three things that I am looking forward to doing this week:
1) Swatching, so I can finally figure out what size needles to use (the given size is way too big, or I knit too loosely, or something), and what size Mr Greenjeans to knit, for the Loopy KAL!
2) Finally getting Mr Greenjeans caston, so I can actually be knitting on my sweater!
3) Working on our income taxes for federal and two states, etc.
Note: Target has cute little lambs with their stuffed Easter animals on sale this week, for Ewe fans.

3. Here is a cup of coffee for you, Mommy. You just sit there and relax with your knitting while we cheerfully cook dinner and do all our chores.
(Okay, you guessed it. They are of course, ALL three lies. ;-D I couldn’t resist!)

No Wollmeise? Son of Free Lattes!
I have no more room for yarn? Son of Free Lattes!
I have to go to work instead of reading blogs? Son of Free Lattes!
I already left a list of three things.

We used to dine at a bed and breakfast in Newport, Oregon that had family-style dinners and set menus. Oh my gosh, the food was amazing. The host/hostess for the evening always introduced the menu by asking the patrons at each large table to play two truths and a lie. Ever since, our family has loved this game!
So my list of three things I like:
1. Sock yarn, can’t get enough.
2. Baby lima beans cooked with toasted walnuts.
3. Canoeing down the Current River in Missouri on a hot July Saturday.
One of the above may be a lie.

Three things I heard in the past week about knitting socks:
1. “You know they have those in stores don’t you?”
2. “You’re competing to make socks? I think you really do need to get out more.”
3. “I’ve never owned a pair of hand knitted socks. Isn’t that SAD? Don’t you PITY me?” (from someone who is not really a knitter but is very creative and whose blog I read as faithfully as this one.)
I’m not so sure that part b of #2 isn’t true. That is kind of sad. I think I need a Latte…oh, that wasn’t true was it?
