It’s all good news. LIke my daughter, Kim, (first post) I had a great time at Stitches West 09. A lot of it had to do with spending time with Kim and that she took good care of me. I was in a wheelchair since I was 3.5 weeks post-op from a knee replacement. Anyway, loved meeting Dianne of Creatively Dyed and bought a shawl kit in greens. Also got some gorgeous Malabrigo in sock weight, a pattern to make a scarf with some glitter alpaca I’ve had for years and Size 3 circular to make it on. Hope you had lots of chocolate for your birthday! Happy, happy belated.

Good News: I went to a weekend crop, finished a 6×6 album and 4 12×12 layouts, and won a page contest.

Bad News: I didn’t get to knit much and when I did, it all had to be ripped out. Aparantly, I can’t read charts when I’m very tired.

Good News: It finally snowed here enough to close work. I had a surprise day off on Monday, so I got to knit all morning!

Bad News: I had to go back to work on Tuesday.

Good News: The class list for teh Spring Fling is posted.

Bad News: I can’t take all of the classes offered.

My sister, Chris, hansler@embarqmail.com, introduced me to this site. She is a frequent shopper also. Everyday we e-mail or talk about the yarn and it’s, “did you see…..?”"lol. We have a pizza and hank winding get together and alot of laughs when we have accumulated several hanks each.

Sheri, Where are the decals for the car? I really need one. Are they all sold out and I missed it?

Good news: I took the plunge and cast on for a Faroese-style shawl I’ve been wanting to try for a long time.
Bad news: I also want to cast on a “Brambler” scarf (Ann Hanson/Knitspot design) from the new skein of Farmhouse Fannie’s Fingeringweight in “Bramble” I received from TLE yesterday. There’s not enough time to knit both before the Spring Fling, FPS!

Good news: I did four loads of laundry on Saturday.
Bad news: I have more laundry to go and not enough quarters for the washers/dryers.

Ah, well, at least my work week is actually shaping up with more good things than bad things…

My weekend’s good news bad news is mostly good news. Good News: DH has cottoned on to the fact that I really really really like it when he just cleans. So this weekend he vacuumed (which is good, this rental house is terrible to clean and the vacuum we inherited here is awful heavy and it hurts my hands and arms to use it) AND cleaned the bathroom. Bad News: Because he’s being so good I feel like I have to too so I ended up cleaning a lot more than I really wanted to and knitting a lot less.

Happy Belated Birthday Sheri! OMG I am on this site 10 or more times a day. I am totally addicted. I jumped on the Sneak Peak in your blog and immediately , like a crazed yarn freak, ordered. Love you all!
