i got to go to the Quarter Stitch
bought something for my Bottle Swap Partner
bought postcards for my munchkins
will mail them tomoro (forgot stamps)
bought a Mardi Gras Duck for ME
went to Pat O'Brien's had a Hurricane
the FO & FA gave me a hard time 'cause it took FOREVER to drink it
got the glass above the stove
had a BLAST !!!!!
hopefully i will get to go back again
it's about $30 one way in a cab
but WELL worth the $$ to escape the hotel
had crawfish etoulee & benets
didn't get MUCH knitting done since i wasn's sitting in the hotel room

Started BJORK
I started the BJORK
Started both sides
Once I was done with the shaping
I joined both sides so that I can knit in the round
After knittting awhile
I found out I twisted when I joined
Now I gotta frog to the join & re-knit
Think my gauge is close
Need about 114 rows for the bag
Got LOADS of Airport Appreciation Time tomoro
Gotta get up in 6 hours
Frog pond
I would be done
Maybe I need food
Been 12 hours since breakfast
New Orleans
Nothing on tv
Gonna finish the shawl

Monday, January 15
Well...
I couldn't stop knitting
First it was finish the pattern sequence
Then
Finish the skein - which was in the middle of a row
So
Once again
Finish the pattern sequence
6 of 10 pattern repeats done
WELL into the 2nd skein
Row 51 of 84
107 of 171 stitches
Runnin' out of cable on the circ
Gotta get ready for work
Gotta be up at 4am
doin' the math
shawl :)
- work
- work
- work
- work
- pattern row 5
- pattern row 6
- pattern row 5
- pattern row 6
- pattern row 9
- pattern row 6
- pattern row 5
- pattern rpw 12
- pattern row 5
- pattern row 6
- pattern row 5
you get the idea
so i converted it to EACH row written out with the
total number of stitches at the end
i printed it out
so, i am finished with row 42 - i have 87 stitches
i count the stitches on the increase row
then i check off the row
works for me when i can be Brain Dead
i haven't used all if the first skein of Brown Sheep
i will send another pic later
blogger won't let me post STRAIGHT to the blog
it's a pain to e-mail to myself
download the pic to puter
upload th pic to blogger
gotta eat
