Three Things Friday
Three projects that I’m still knitting and wondering how I can “up” my hours to 36 in a day instead of 24:
- DC KAL Sweater (one more sleeve and the ribbing to go)
- Noro Scarf (I’ve already picked a few more Noro colors that I must knit)
- Wollmeise Scarf (ditto. I want to make a Krauterbeet for myself.)
(The photo? Gale’s Art BLF Roving. 
It just arrived today. I thought it would make a colorful photo to start out the blog today. This is her regular BFL. We will have more of her Black BFL roving next.)
Three things that I’m putting off this weekend in order to get more knitting time:
- laundry (having no kids in the house all week did help to reduce the laundry load)
- cleaning (ditto. The house has stayed amazingly neat and tidy.)
- cooking (good time for eating out, right?)
Three places I will visit this summer:
- Ohio (TNNA Market is next week – I’ll go find more fun stuff for us!)
- Florida (taking a family trip down to see Web Guy over the Fourth of July)
- Indiana (to get both kids off to college in August. I can’t think about it.)
Three places I will not visit this summer:
- Colorado (my favorite vacation spot in the midst of St. Louis Summer Heat)
- Germany (even though it’s my turn to visit Claudia the Wollmeise)
- Michigan (although eventually I will get there to visit Friend Meg and Cool-Yarn-Store-ThreadBear!)
Three Eight+ fun things that will go up next week:
- 8 brand new colors of Noro Sock (oh, they’re so pretty. I took the photo so it’s not WH/Web Quality, but you get the idea of the new colors, until you can see them up next week.)
- 21 brand new colors of Araucania (I love knitting this yarn)
- Woolly Boully, Sheepaints, Gale’s Art BFL Roving (see first photo for a sampling), new Shibui and Claudia HandPainted colors, The Loopy Ewe Zephyr Stitchmarker Set, etc.
Three Six+ new lines that you’ll see here soon:
- Neighborhood Fibers Yarn and Roving
- Spirit Trail Fiberworks
- Hazel Knits
- Malabrigo Worsted Weight
- Sugar Bunny Blvd
- Yarn Love Roving
- Indigo Moon Yarns
- (and a few more that are still a secret)
Three more fun things coming soon:
- our new Duets order which will contain some previous cool colorways that many of you have been asking for. Angela is the Queen of Heels and Toes Sock Yarn!
- new Knitting Bags (because we all know that I have a thing for bags. And I know you do, too. You’ll love these.)
- new non-wool sock yarn options (and some new wool sock lines, too)
Three things that made me happy this week:
- the best-ever Molasses Sugar Cookies that came in the mail from Michele in Maine
- emails from my two kids who are away
- yarn shopping spree from the new stuff that came in this week because I needed more in my stash (1 Woolly Boully, 4 Araucania, 2 Sheepaints and 4 Noro. In case you wanted to know.)
Three things I’m doing this weekend:
- eating out at Granite City because my friend Janice keeps telling me I have to go there
- picking up Knitting Daugher and Mum-in-Law from the airport (yay!)
- planting flowers in the flowerpots by my front door because it’s time, FPS.

2. Eat out somewhere good and new to us.

Wow! Can I be the first commenter!
Three yarny things:
I went to the Great Lakes Fiber Show last weekend and met up with really great people!
I get to go to TNNA next week too, with my LYS owner, Kim.
The week after TNNA is Knitter’s Connection in Columbus! Holy yarny events!
And because I always like to throw in some extras, like a trilogy in four parts:
My greatest hope is that Sheri from the Loopy Ewe will someday carry my naturally-dyed eco-friendly yarns!

Congratulations Laura on your wedding anniversary on Sunday. We TOO are celebrating our wedding anniversary on Sunday!! Our 34th!
Three things I’ll be doing this weekend:
1. On our anniversary, instead of driving anywhere, cause the gas prices anger us, we’re going for a long walk along the bike path to one of our favorite eateries and then walk leisurely back home again. Great time for good conversation!
2. Start knitting a pair of socks with some Noro that I’ve had in my stash but never used yet. Can’t wait to see what it looks like.
3. Do a little meandering in my flower garden. Hopefully I will pull some weeds, but definitely linger to smell some of the beautiful flowers in bloom.
Happy weekend to all!

Let’s see…three things chores I WILL do this weekend:
1. Weed out at least two drawers of my filing cabinet and recycle what I don’t “need” to keep anymore.
2. Draft a resume that is so fabulous that anyone who sees it will instantly offer me a job.
3. Laundry
Three things I am looking forward to doing this weekend:
1. I am reading a novel! This is the second one I’ve read since the end of the school year!
2. Knitting socks!
3. Catch up on some letter writing. I love writing letters and I’m very fortunate to have friends whose daughter is just the right age to love getting mail. (And then I might have to knit a second sock if I get all of the above done).

I would like to finish the little purse I made for my granddaughter. Not much left to
do and work on a pair of socks that have the heel turned already. Find a DVD/VCR
player that will play on my tv. It’s only two year old, but they have updated everything
so much that I am already on my third order from Circuit City because the
other two won’t work. My son has researched this one and and said he “thinks”
it wil work. Each one was more expensive than the last. Progess has done a job
on making us buy things that don’t work with the equipment we have. I would like to watch some of my old Bette Davis movies
but I don’t have anything to watch them on. Maybe something will be good on
cable. I have a fourth thing. One of my children and his family are on the
way to the Ozarks this weekend. I hope they have a rip-roaring time. Their time
schedules don’t allow them to get away very often.

Three things I’ll do in June-
Go to the Estes Park Wool Fest June 14.
Make a scarf from Wollmeise.
Finish 4 pairs of socks.
Sheri, you’ll be missed in Colorado-maybe a fall trip when the aspens turn?

Three knitting projects I intend to work on this weekend:
(1) the 2nd sock of the pair I designed in Cookie’s class at the Spring Fling (just about at the heel flap now);
(2) another hat for my chemo-head;
(3) maybe start designing a new pair of socks for Sock Knitter’s Anonymous (Ravelry) June sockdown;
ooops – and (4) Leaf Lace Scarf with Malabrigo Laceweight. – Already started, just a few inches done. Pattern is easy enough, & the yarn is scrumptiously soft, but I have to admit that I’m not yet feeling the love for laceweight. So this one’s a maybe for the weekend.
Three things I need to do but don’t necessarily feel like doing:
(1) Returns & exchanges of purchases, both local & online. (No TLE purchases in this category; all TLE purchases are keepers!)
(2) Cleaning, de-cluttering at home.
(3) Laundry. (’Nuff said.)
And Sheri, I might actually go to Threadbear this summer! My sister lives about 20 min away from there, & I’m hoping to visit her in July (while my daughter is at a law enforcement conference in Colorado). If I get to my sister’s, a visit to Threadbear will be tops on my list of things I want to do while I’m there! Looks like some great stuff coming in, but sheesh, I’m having a hard time keeping up with all of it!

Three things I will do this weekend:
1. spend time with the family boat camping on a small sailboat, big family, yikes.
2. Catch a king salmon
3. finish the current pair of socks
Sheri, I had the pleasure of meeting KD while she was here, she is a beautiful young lady, you did a great job of raising her. It was fun to meet a celebrity, she is is the KD fps, that makes her a celebrity!!

Three things that “must” get done this weekend:
1. Finish the Hemlock Ring blanket for Mom’s much belated Mother’s Day present
2. Start cape for Mom (was also supposed to be for Mother’s Day)
3. Attack the jungle that is my backyard.
Luckily I won’t be seeing Mom until the end of June, so I might actually get both projects done.

Three things to do this weekend:
1. Vacuum SOMEBODY’s (*coughHSHcough*) cereal out of the family room rug. No more shredded wheat while watching Max & Ruby for you!
2. Wash my car. I’m not sure I remember what the original color is.
3. Finish the short rows on the front of the summer top. Almost done, but still have wraps to pick up (US4 needle and splitty bamboo… ARGH)
That’ll keep me busy.

May 30, 2008 @ 3:25 pm
Three things I’ll do this weekend:
1. By 11:59 PM on 5/31 I will finish my DIC KAL sweater. As usual, the last bit of finishing is holding me back. I knit the Hourglass Sweater, but am not happy with the boat neck, so I’ve been trying to adapt it to a crew neck. Then I have to Kitchner the underarms and it should be “ta done” except for blocking.
2. Go to my new/old gym for the Women on Weights class. I say new/old because today I received a notice in the mail from the new owners of the gym. Who knew the gym was for sale? … I certainly didn’t. I’m not big on change, but the gym could use some new enerry so this could be good.
3. Post more pics of my friend’s Maine Coon Kittens on my Flickr. As I mentioned, my friends are in Alaska for 2 weeks & I’m visiting their cats daily. I’ve been posting pics of the cats & they look at the pics at the end of the day. Fellow pet owners know that the hardest part of going away is worrying about and missing the furry ones.
Michele in WA said,
May 30, 2008 @ 3:26 pm
My three weekend plans:
1. Laundry. Feline integration of new cat is causing havoc and extra laundry. Don’t ask.
2. Clean up crapImeancraft room. Must pack up scrapbooking stuff so my Dad can make and move in my new scrap-sew-etc desk.
3. Play with my baby niece! She’s 4 months this past week!

My “three things” weekend plans………….
** Take a class from my favorite quilting teacher (who also happens to be a super super knitter!!!)
** Start on a new tote bag (good friend from Ohio sent me the pattern and fabrics)
** Work on a brand new pair of socks w/ “new” yarn and “new size” (0’s) Addi knitting needles!!! Oh…and it’s a new pattern that I haven’t tried…oh……(hee hee hee….) and the colors are new for me too (bright orange, green and blue!)

May 30, 2008 @ 3:36 pm
You’re making it hard for me not to buy yarn or fiber until after the Estes Park Wool Festival. The Gales Art roving and the new Noro colors are calling my name!
Three things that need to get done, but probably won’t this weekend:
1. Laundry
2. Hang pictures so my house looks like I’m planning to live there for awhile
3. Find the breakfast bar (everything seems to get stacked there)
Three things that don’t need to get done this weekend, but probably will because they’re a lot more fun than the need to get done list!
1. Ride my bike
2. Start spinning from the roving I received last week from TLE. Should it be the Sanguine Gryphon or The Dyeing Arts…decisions, decisions.
3. Start the 2nd Swirl Sock from the March TLE sock club.

May 30, 2008 @ 3:39 pm
Well, let’s see, my 3 things…
1. Sadly, I am nowhere near finishing the Dream in Color KAL, FPS! : ( But, making some fun progress on my Wollmeise scarf – did you use the entire skein?
2. I’m going to a Red Sox-Orioles game on Sunday – always a treat for me. : )
3. Looking forward to that Woolly Boully and Noro! Not to mention all the other cool things I know are coming soon. What is a girl to do?! Embrace rather than resist,right?! : )
Have a wonderful weekend!
Robin said,
May 30, 2008 @ 3:40 pm
JoAnne I would love to see those socks with the orange green and blue!!!! Those sound like my colors.
Three things I don’t want to do this weekend
1. Blow my nose. (Stupid cold/allerigies or whatever)
2. Laundry (where does the Laundry Fairy live and why doesn’t she come to my house??)
3. Watch the sappy DVD that the first grade teacher made that makes me cry every time I see it.
Three thing I want to do this weekend:
1. Raid Sherri’s stash (Not going to happen but a girl can dream right??)
2. Spin. I have some of Gales BFL that I want to try.
3 Knit and watch episodes of JAG. Unfortuntely I have to start a new pair since I finished the ones for the above mentioned teacher earlier today.

Three happy things today:
1 My husband called from his trip back to the “home office” to tell me that they indeed reached the bonus threshold this year! Yippee!
2 My 2YO pooped in the potty all on her own!
3 You are FINALLY mentioning Hazel Knits which is my FAVORITE and I’ve been trying to wait ever so patiently since Wendy said you were going to start carrying it. Now favorite yarn + favorite store = bliss. Hopefully that bonus arrives around stocking time!
4 (a bonus!) I have my DC KAL sweater done… just have to get Hub to help me photograph for you!
Tammy said,
May 30, 2008 @ 4:07 pm

Valerie said,
May 30, 2008 @ 4:11 pm
Three things that I am happy about today:
1. Your picture of Gale’s BFL roving. I just finished spinning her Black BFL Autumn Fire roving and I love, love, love this roving! The colours are stunning and it spun up so nicely, even for a beginnier like me. Everyone going by my wheel kept stopping to admire it.
2. You’ll be getting more of this roving. Do you know if you’ll be getting more of the Autumn Fire? I was thinking I might like a couple more of these to have enough to knit a vest with it.
3. I’m spending all day tomorrow at spinning school at a local fiber store. I can’t wait to learn lots of new things to improve my spinning.
Have a great weekend, Sheri!

Can’t wait to see all the yummy new goodies and the new secret stuff.
3 (or 4 or 5) things.
I will be heading to Ohio this weekend for my neices high school graduation, then next Sat to souther IN for my nephew’s wedding. I don’t know how they grew up so fast.
I really want to sleep in after running all over town with the eldest daughter trying to find the “right” outfits for the above mentioned activities.
I really need to be doing laundry, but I think I will work on my shawl instead.
… I hope I can talk hubby into eating out tonight because I really don’t feel like cooking
I wish I was going to TNNA I went a few years ago and had a blast.
DD did reward me with a Tropical Smoothie for all the running so that made it all worth it….. well for me anyway.
Have a great weekend

Three things consuming me right now:
1. Packing
2. Moving and transferring all my accounts, services (including coordinating my next sock club shipment which may happen when I am mid-move and have NO email access)
3. The thought of UNpacking

1. Transplant a red maple that growing in a window-well.
2. Decide on a color for refinishing my dining room table, and get supplies.
3. Start some perennials from seed.

2.) Sit on my deck this evening with a glass of wine and DH cooking on the grill. Also sad.

4. (bonus!) I am going to knit tonight on Gust and when I have two repeats done, then I will wind one of my eight new skeins of DIC. Then if I get two repeats done on Sunday, I will wind the next skein and so on, so by the time Gust is done, I will be ready to make the Tulip sweater!!

Three things that I’m excited about today:
My copy of “The Eclectic Sole” that I pre-ordered has shipped. Yea!
You’re gonna carry HazelKnits yarn. Yea!
My DH cleaned up his mess in the dining room. Yea!
Three things I’m trying to decide about today:
Should I buy the Lexie Barnes bag I saw on sale at a LYS?
What yarns in my stash am I most likely not to knit up and should I try to destash them?
How much time do I have to spend on the treadmill to work off having tiramisu for dessert?

1. Helping middle daughter get ready for her trip to Germany – sponsored by the eduacation department at her university – she’ll be gone A MONTH…) She leaves from Dallas on Tuesday. and trying not to panic with the thought of her being gone so far from home, again this year.
2. Cleaning house…boring but necessary…WAYYY necessary.
3. Enjoying the dinner husband made for us – grilled chicken, b/c it is too hot to cook ANYTHING in this house…100 degrees as I’m writing this from San Angelo Texas.
hope everyone has a good weekend!

Oooh! I almost missed it!
Three non-knitting things I’d like to finish this weekend (looking highly unlikely as it’s already late Saturday night):
1. Painting the kitchen
2. Planting the flowers
3. Cleaning the back porch
Three knitting projects I’d like to work on this weekend:
1. Celine’s hat
2. Boteh
3. Tulip socks
(Kendra’s afghan should probably be in here, but I should finish 1 and 2 first.)
Three things I must accomplish come H*ll or High Water:
1. Laundry
2. Grocery shopping (partially done, still need milk and salad fixins)
3. Unpack from last weekend’s trip
Three things I’m happy about at this moment:
1. I got me a lawn mower! (It boggles the mind, I know)
2. My Savannah Bird Book is shipping Monday
3. I get to plant flowers tomorrow
Three things that are perplexing me at the moment:
1. I can not find any of my cotton railroad bandannas.
2. What I can do to raise the spirits of my friend whose breast cancer has come back after 8 years. (I’m open to suggestions on this one if anyone has any.)
3. Warping the space-time continuum so that there are 36 hours in the day, meaning everything could be accomplished and one could STILL sleep.
Speaking of which, I’m heading there now…. To have sweet dreams of yarn!

Three non-wool-related good things about this weekend:
1. It’s a long weekend for us (June 2 is La Festa della Repubblica, Italy’s answer to the 4th of July—no fireworks or parades but otherwise pretty enjoyable)!
2. Our on-again-off-again house guest isn’t here—phew!
3. Next week is the last week of school!
Three wool-related things I’m looking forward to:
1. Woolly Boully returns to The Loopy Ewe!
2. Malabrigo Worsted!
3. Hazel Knits!

Three things that I’m going to get done between today and tomorrow (my only 2 days off for the next 10 days- whew!):
1. Finish the baby gift package for my mom’s coworker’s baby and get it in the mail. She’s due in 2 weeks, so I’d better hurry! The package contains 2 washcloths with baby patterns on them and a pair of baby socks knit in my own handdyed sock yarn.
2. Clean up my house- working this much has left my house a disaster because I’m entirely too tired to clean after working 10 hour days!
3. Take a nap both days.

I missed the 3 for the weekend, but I’m happy that it was good weather and relatively relaxing. I hope your weekend was a fun relaxing time all around.

If you are coming to Indiana you should stop by Jeffersonville. I know we would all love a visit!
