went for a walk

had time to kill

it was nice ( about 75) out

so we went for a walk

this is by the Sugarland Run in Herndon

3/4 of tier 4 is DONE! :)

went to the mall .. bought a hair dryer ..

gonna keep it in the travel bag ..

ate dinner, came back to the hotel

used the treadmill for an hour ..

burned 200 calories in the first 38 minutes

:)

fell asleep about 8PM

woke up @ 2AM .. knit

gettin' ready to go to Dulles, eat breakfast, fly to Dallas

sit & knit, back to Dulles for the nite ..

IF things go as planned, will be there about 4 PM for 24 hours ..

MORE knitting

on tier 4

1:20 PM sun ...

stop knitting to go to the mall ...

it's a way to escape ANOTHER hotel room ...

:)

argyle

making progress ..

hard to see when it's bunched up on the circ ..

WILL get to knit tomoro

the bricks

the pagoda

someone' s car ...

can ya tell i don't know alot about the race

the pace car .. outside the speedway

things to do

the toy for http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KnitExchange/
has to be done on June 18

another list has a dishcloth exchange - gotta have them done July 15th

on http://groups.yahoo.com/group/whenever/ we will be doing a STOCKING EXCHANGE
won't have to start it till July - but i gotta decide what the Kit i am doing for October will be & get it started


i am on the 5th tier of the Mitered Square bag ..
it's on hold till i finish the Felted Argyle bag ..
gotta see how much Karoake felts ...
do NOT want a bag that is toooo big ..

: (

so, today i run a few errands ..
gotta dye the roots .. need a "Summer" color
then i think i will be spending part of the day @ the race track ..
it's Community Day
not taking knitting, will be too busy wandering around ..

mite pick up a souveneir for the bottle swap partner

gotta remember to mail the postcards i bought for the muchkins last trip

gotta make Nikki & Paige "pink fuzzy purses"
got the yarn, needles & basic idea .. just gotta remember to take them with me

if i had a brain, i'd be dangerous ....

UFO's & WHAT to knit

OK, so i am knitting the Mitered Square purse ..

the math needs tweaking ..

NOT sure if i should proceed OR rip out part of it

it's the uncertainty of how much shrinkage will occur with the yarn ..

NO, felting a swatch isn't always gonna work

it's a EXTREME waste of $$ to felt 1 mitered square in the washer

if i felt it another way, it may not felt the same ..

so, i think i will go BACK to the Felted Argyle bag ..

the Hot Pink ( Fucshia) yarn arrived

thinkin' Entrelac will felt in a similar fashion to the mitered square ...

at least it will be a bettter approximation than felting the square on the stove

so, ITMT, i have 5 sox in my head i wanna do

4 for work and ONE out of some sock yarn i just saw

no details yet .. it stripes .. JUST want to use the yarn

NOT to mention i gotta deside what i am gonna do for the Sept Kit on Whenever

AND i wanna make a stocking or 2 for the stocking exchange

gotta decide WHICH toy pattern i will use for the TOY swap on Knit Exchange ..

then i gotta see IF i have the right yarn to use

have yarn, patterns AND needles for the dishcloths ..

doing a dishcloth exchange on another list

Chicago - LAKE SIDE

CLOUDS

on the way to CHicago from Grand Rapids

STILL can't see the colors :(

willl have to wait to take a pic til i get home

hotel lighting isn't that great
:(

car being towed in

another race track pic

progress

nothing to do in Ottawa but knit ..

:(

makin' progress ...

finished tier 3 & ½ of tier 4

it was a PERFECT day

sunshine, good breeze, fresh air,

some exercise - walking to the stands

cold beer

listening to the whine of the cars

smelling the tires & different liquids that keep the cars running

had a GREAT time ...

regained MOST of my hearing

didn't knit .. but didn't miss knitting either ....

doing laundry & packing to go

the pole

cars sitting by the track

racetrack pix

at the speedwaY

re-thinkin'

so i measured the entrelac bag i started

it's about 18" across ..

i WILL have to rip part of the mitered squares out

i SHOULD have used the same # of stitches ..

entrelac uses 10 - entrelac are about 2 1/2"

mitered uses 22 (11 ea side)- miters are about 3"

so, instead of 12 squares, i gotta take out about 5 of them

SHOULD have done the math, before i joined ..

:(

oh well, i can use the stuff i rip for smaller squares ..

gotta take a shower ..

the tylenol allergy / sinus SEEMS to be working ...

gotta run errands so i can have FUN, FUN, FUN!!!

hhhmmm a thought

since i can't figure out HOW to upload the maps,
thinkin' i could buy a map & a corkboard and pushpins
put the pins where i overnited & take pix & upload them ..

could STILL do each month ..
will work on it when i get home ..

ready to join in a circle

it measures 29" across ..

thinkin' it's to big

:(

so i will probably unjoin them and rip out a few of the diamonds ..

can't remember how much the other one shrunk when i felted it

got a sinus infection OR my allergies are kickin' up

SHOULD have figured it out 2 days ago ..

gotta get dressed ..

thee plan for today is to go to the speedway & watch qualifiacations

taking knitting

NO!!!!! i am not packed to leave tomoro ..

2nd tier

starting the SECOND Tier

In God we STILL Trust

YOU WONT HEAR THIS SONG IN A PUBLIC BROADCAST:

In March, 2005, this song was performed at Diamond Rio concert.

They received an immediate standing ovation, and continue to do

so every time they perform it!

Sadly, major radio stations wouldn't play it because it was considered

politically incorrect.

Consequently, the song was never released to the public.

If this song speaks to your heart and you feel to share it with

friends and loved ones, please do.

Then, regardless of our ethnic origin,

let us cease being the silent majority and join together.

Not as a particular political party, but as Americans!
Call your radio station and ask them to play it.

can ya tell i LOVE enterlac??

black & fall colors is the first one i did .. Debbie Barisa's Felted Enterlac bag

she sent me the pattern to look at, to PROPERLY look at it required needles & yarn

i used LEFTOVER yarn ... i LOVE this bag ..

it's my FAV!!! i need another in SPRING colors ..

notice, the entrelac is SQUARE ...

the 2nd one i did was the Market Squares .. i planned the colors

they aren't as square .. but i like the overall colors

the last one i knit was the felted entrelac suki, using Koolaid dyed Fisherman's Wool

http://freefriends.org/~mare/pattern1.html

i didn't add the funky yarn @ the top & made it shorter

got the hair done ..

5-2-06 1:02 AM

NOW i remember ... :(

i NOW remember why i don't do the "girlie" stuff ....

TIME consuming ... it takes 1 hour to get the hair & face done

and as if TIME is not the only factor ...

there is ALL the stuff i gotta have
eyeshadow, liner, mascara, eyelash curler ...
lip liner, lipstick, gloss,
shampoo, conditioner, body wash ( left THREE sets in hotels this year = '06)
gel, mouse OR volumizing spray, the HOLDING spray
moisturizer for my face AND body ..
perfume and deoderant
toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash .. NOT to mention pre-brushing rinse

my roller board needs MORE importnat stuff ... like KNITTING

still working on the shawl .. it's FUN!!!

making progress .. on 2nd square

sun ..

i bought an iPod so i could listen to MY music ..
spent 3 days uploading stuff to it,
put enuff songs to last 3 days ..
and the stupid thing deleted EVERYTHING
i want to be able to download Audio books as well
and Podcasts - there ARE knitting ones ..
so, since i have SSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOO many CD's
i can NOW make them portable & take them with me

: )

i didn't stick with eating right, so NOW i pay for it ...

so that i can listen to the iPod thru the speakers in the car

the thing that transmits over FM on the radio

doesn't work very well in MY car ..

LONG SONGS ..

this could take a while ...

oh well. i can knit

OH YEAH!!!

on the news tonite .. they say there is an E-Coli outbreak

it's attributed to Bagged Salad ..

and i can go to BED!!!

WHO-HOO

done knitting for now

the pin on the left side shows where i started today

10 more stitches = 20 more rows of the first square

: )

Color

a friend bought some of the Jergens lotion that adds color ..

Jergens Natural GLow

after TWO days, you could tell ...

so, i bought some .. i bought FAIR Skin

will see IF it does the same for me ..

also bought some tooth whitening strips

to take the color OUT of my teeth ..

will update you as i progress ...

sidebar .. IF you sneexe, they eject out

'course IF i quit drinking tea, the teeth wouldn't have color ..

hair well i highlighted it ..
thinkin' next time, I'll use a lighter color anyways ..
it may mean i don't have to hide the grey so fast ..

gotta polish my nails ..

after i fix the thumbs ..

mite polish the toes too ..

will wait to see IF they pick up a tanner look,

then use a SPRING color

want to see IF my former nail tech still does nails after moving to INDY

then i could get the nails done right & a pedicure ...

Done for the nite

this is far as i am going tonite ...

not bad for 1 hour of knitting .. goin' to bed

http://knitty.com/ISSUEspring04/PATTcutyourteeth.html

i wanted to make this hat when i first saw it in Knitter's Magazine, Summer 2001

it's the Diamond Head by David Xenakis

will be making IT as well

here is a pic someone ELSE made

http://www.niesens.com/hobbies/knitting/diamondhead.html

this is a Completed bag

this was knit with 2 strands of Cascade 220 ..

in the round

using a Fair Isle technique to stripe it vertically

i REALLY like it ...

thinkin' HOT pink & Black ...

one of the patrons of Keepsake in Carmel knit it ..

Garden Party Bag

Pattern is "the Garden Party Bag" by Nora j Bellows

it looks OK on the pattern ..

it's a MAYBE I'll knit it ...

cute idea

Debbie the "TEMPTRESS" Barisa's pattern

i want to make this pattern

It's a Plymouth Yarn pattern #P556

Felted Argyle Bag

it was designed by my friend, the "TEMPTRESS" Debbie Barisa

she is known as the "TEMPTRESS" because she finds thing for me to do

i didn't know i NEEDED to make them until she showed me ..

then i realize ...

i HAVE to make it ..

she knws me TTTTTOOOOO well

:)

she is ALSO known as the "FELTING GODDESS"

i want to use Karoke instead of Galway

for the body, i will use Logenberry # 287

for the Diamonds, i wanted to use #278 Mermaid Mix,

but couldn't find enuff

would REALLY like to use #299 Splash OR # 300 Dipity

IF you have somehow made it thru life NOT knowing about the yarn

it is 50% wool & 50% Soy Silk

a product derived from the liquid extruded from the processing of Soy Beans ..

it is FABULOUS yarn to work with ...

http://www.soysilk.com/

when done, it will be MOST EXCELLANT

it will become the bag i carry all summer

thanks Debbie for once again,

throwing down the gauntlet to expand my horizon ..

i sometimes think, she knows me better than i know myself ...

i am slightly bummed i can't start the bag NOW!!!!

TOYS

being away from home,

i needed stuff for hotels

over time i started accumulating toys

that flight crew typically bring along

bought a personal DVD player ..

been slowly buying DVDs

can use it in an airport,

sitting on a plane OR in a hotel

and, MY personal favorite -

a leftover from my Postal Days

portable CD player ...

i am MUSIC oriented

i would rather listen to music than watch TV

i carry it & listen to my CDs from home

NEED speakers ..

but then i got a DVD player, so i listen to CDs on it

:)

have a computer,

NECESSARY for work

gotta check all my work info online

(NEED internet too )

it is dieing,

so it HAD to be replaced,

bought a laptop thinkin' i WOULD take it with me

BUT, security makes it a TOTAL pain to carry

YES, i have to strip down when i go thru security JUST like every one ELSE

IF i watched TV,

i could see getting cable @ home & a slingbox for the laptop

then i could watch TV when &

where i wanted IF there is Free WiFi

cell phone,

well we HAFTA have one ..

one with a camera is a good option

mine is a basic phone,

i am supposed to be able to read e-mail & surf ..

i can't

:(

PDA,

would be easier than carrying a laptop

more portable,

it can fit in my purse

PDA OR PDA Phone ...

the phone costs more each month BUT,

i can use it ANYwhere ..
a PDA can only uplink IF there is a FREE WiFi spot ..
finding MOST airports i sit in,

cost to link up
:(
SHOULD have gotten the PDA Phone

when i got the new cell

then i would have TWO toys

iPod
it can be used to listen to music
ALL the CD's at home can be stored on it so i can listen to them
a great way to kill the hours i sittin' airports OR hotels
found out i can get podcasts ... they HAVE knitting podcasts
GOTTA figure tht out now

it's easy to use ..

AND you can get something so i can use it in the car ..

CHEAPER than buying a new CD player for the car

can buy portable speakers to take with me for in the hotel

Operation Girlie

I've been told i am getting "Frumpy" ..

the proof is the picture of me knitting in O'Hare ..

:{

i wear eye makeup

i LIKE getting my nails done ..

i needed more eyeshadow & mascara ..mine are getting empty

i was told to CHANGE colors ..

i bought the Almay eye-definer stuff

in GREEN ...

might as well bring out the GREEN in my eyes ...

ipstick, well ... it NEVER stays on

i HAVE used primer and all the other crap

the stuff that is supposed to stay on for 16 hours,

doesn't on me ..

the lip gloss type thing i used in High School is back

i've even bought the GOOD stuff - OPI, Mary Kay, a few others i can't remember

so, i MITE go buy more, Almay has Lip liner, lipstick & gloss ALL in the same color

maybe, since i have to get contacts, i will buy GREEN ones today ..

it's an option ..

HAIR ... i HAVE the tools & knowledge ..

just don't apply it .. takes too much time,

i could be knitting ..

:(

well ...

i want my hair to grow ..

it is NOW @ the stage where i get frustrated with it & chop it all off ...

i REALLY hate messing with it ..

partly, 'cause i am NOT good at it ..

so, in an effort to look less frumpy,

today, i used the mouse, round brushs (i have TWO) & hair dryer on low AND the cold shot button

then i sprayed it to keep the look ...

it is now "BULLETPROOF!!!"

i bought a few new t-shirt type shirts

different necklines .. mite as well show some cleavage

so, i will start using the treadmill every day ...
