the weather in PTC is grumpy

good day to grab a book & cup of tea

and hunker down on the couch

went to dr

put me BACK on Advair

gonna send me for pulmonary testing

maybe half way down the foot of the sox

wish some new yarn would arrive

so i can start something new

maybe i'll take a nap

weekend

so, on thur

i flew to jacksonville

fri - with my Brother

walked for 4 hours

during the mid day sun

it was 90+ degrees

ate at Japanese Steakhouse

Sat - Brother, SIL & Neice

walked MORE
in the HOT sun

went to the beach

ate at Bonos Rib Pit

i have sunburn on myshoulders

my hair is BLONDE!!!

i am gonna take a nap

exhausted

had TTTTTTTTTTOOOOOOOOOOOOO

much fun

maybe halfway down the foot of the sox

SPECTACULAR!!!

is this NOT one of the most

beautiful pictures you have ever seen

GOD in his full glory

HEELS ...

spent the evening watching

"Never Ending Story"

1 & 2

on row 5 of the heel flap

FINALLY!!!!

headin' to bed

HAIR - Sunday May 4, 2008

a little bit of styling mousse

in a month, the back will be fine

and the top will need to be trimmed

and it will all need to be re-dyed

i like the top & sides

the back it TTTTTOOOO short

so, this is PRE-cut

it's about the same length

all over

progress

OK, so when i do a pattern stitch

i learned to add stitch markers

to keep the count correct

a Light Pink bead is the first pattern repeat

or Beginning of the Row

the Dar$ker Pink is for the rest

then, i pin the first row of

the pattern stitch

knit "X" patterns to get the legnth i want

so, then i have all these pins in the side

i count my pins till i have the correct number

there HAD to be a better way

bought Numeric Beads

put them on the pins

they won't go over the bend

so, it's a pain to pin the row & add the bead

i remember a menber of the Mon & Tue groups

that uses lever back ear rings to make

stitch markers for crochet

so, i made little row counters from them

1 - 9 = ONLY the number bead

10 - 19 Pink bead & number bead

i won't be knitting more than 20 pattern repeats

LATER, i can

pin my gusset & toe decrease

so i don't loose track
