Monday, Monday.

Mondays are not my favorite day of the week. But today was MUCH better than last Monday. Why?? Because last Monday I had food poisoning or a virus or something. NOT FUN! So I ended up taking Tuesday off also. Monday I couldn't do anything, but Tuesday I did start a scarf. I finished it last night & wore it to work today.

I bought this yarn at a sale in L.A. This yarn shop has ALL yarns on sale for 35% off for the WHOLE month of December & they do this in June also.

Ok, so I bought the Netflix Gift Card.........for the dogsitters. I think they are happy with it.

Would you like to see a picture of L.A. from my trip?? This is from Griffith Park. When I was a kid I always would drive to the Observatory & check out the sky. Brought back memories.

I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaack...........

Just got back today!! You know what?? I didn't knit a stitch!! I did BRING the 2 sock projects & I did start the Net Market Bag BEFORE I went on my trip & I did bring my book & just barely started it on my flight back. I was busy every minute. Not much rest. It was great to see my family & friends.

I also had a GREAT dog-sitter for Lacey. She & her husband said I could put them in my will to have Lacey if anything happened to me. I asked them because I'm in the process of doing my will. I have no intention of not being around........but hey, you just never know. I also got a bargain price to do my will for $45 through work. The catch is that I have to finish it by the end of the month.

Back to the dog-sitters........I need to get them a thank you gift. Any ideas?? I was thinking about a gift certificate to Amazon.com. That way they could buy anything.........or a 6 month subscription to Netflix. What do you think?? Any ideas?? Tell me fast, cuz I have to get it soon!

I get tomorrow off too, back to work on Tuesday. Maybe I could at least knit ONE stitch tomorrow. Even ONE row might be ok!!

Guess What I'm Going To Do??

I'm really going to knit the Net Market Bag again, as I mentioned in my last post. I even have actually started it.

I'm going to visit family for a week in L.A. on Dec. 1st. And guess what else?? I decided to take both pairs of unfinished socks with me..............I actually decided NOT to start a new project yet!! Hard to believe, isn't it?? I will also take a book with me: Love Over Scotland.

I'm hoping to rest. I've been working WAY too hard. And learning too much for my poor ole' brain. I will also visit my favorite vendor there & they will even give me a half day training.

I'll talk to you when I get back............

TWO Hats!!

Sooooooooooooo, I made a hat for my friend's daughter, &&&&&&&&&&&&&& I made a hat for me! Here are the pictures.

I think I will make another Net Market Bag now.............I'm into EASY right now!!!

What next??

Here is the scarf I gave my old co-worker the other evening when we met at a sushi restaurant! She loved it. She didn't bring me the other ball of yarn to finish the other scarf I'm making her though..........

So, what shall I do next?? I know, you are thinking.........."why won't she get back to her socks?????" Well, I'm kinda thinking the same thing............BUT, I'm just sick of those.....

Thinking of trying to knit with wire & beads, to do a bracelet for someone for Christmas............

Thinking of another scarf for another friend for Christmas...........

Thinking of doing a hat for ME!! Or for my friend's daughter..................

See..........there I go again...........thinking............but not knitting anything........................

What do you think I should knit???

Give it a Whirl

I just finished my "Give it a Whirl" bag. I suppose I can go back to my socks now. I'm waiting for my old co-worker to buy more yarn so that I can finish her scarf.

A friend is taking me out to see the play, The Importance of Being Earnest. We will go eat dinner first. I have to leave in an hour & I'm not ready. I hope I can stay awake. It starts at 8pm & I just am not a night person at all.

Tomorrow another friend is taking me out for Sunday brunch after church.

My friends know how to spoil me. I will just have to keep knitting for them. I have no idea who to give this bag to. I just may keep it for myself.

She liked this hat too!

I gave my friend her second hat yesterday. Gosh, in 1 week she lost a lot of hair. I enjoy her so much. It's been great to be with her, though I certainly wish it could be under different circumstances. She looked so cute in the hat too. She told me that her daughter wants a hat like the other one. So maybe when I'm done doing my 2 scarves for my old co-worker?? Will I ever get back to finishing any of my projects that have been started???
