FO!!

headband was finished on Fri

at the pajama party

then it was blocked

later

when it was dry

it was worn for about 8 hours

what a cutie

miss seeing the munchkins

i will have to head north

when it warms up

Irritating passengers

So I have time to kill waiting for sue
I sit in an empty gate with 3 dozen empty seats
I put on the iPod
A woman sits down DIRECTLY behind me
She is on her cell
Yak yak yak
LOUDER than my iPod
Her perfume is annoying me
Then she starts laughing and hitting the back of my seat
I get up & move the row of seats so theyare not back to back
She STILL hits my seatback
I start sneezing
She tells the person she is talking to that people should NOT be allowed to travel when they are sick
I am sure she thinks I can't hear her
So, very LOUDLY I say "people should be considerate of others. I am NOT sick, your perfume,of which you are wearing too much, is setting off my allergies"
Since I am dressed as a passenger, she can't say much
3 other passengers thanked me
She left
I can hear my iPod again
The sneezing stops
LIFE is GOOD

Stupid needles

The balen needles will be replaced
They are TOO pointy
And hurts
AND drew blood
White yarn & blood don't mix
Actually
Blood doesn't go with ANY yarn

Almost

Sue's plane is off the gate bu NOT in the air
Due in @11:38 am
I am sitting across from her gate

Part 1 of the "pajama party"

Made it to Cleveland
Changed into jeans & t-shirt
Have store bought sox on
They are KUTE but I don't like them
They don't fit rite
AND they are nylon

2 hours till Sue gets here
Then we find Kathy & ride to Mi
Think I will knit

progress on the headband

about 1/2 done

it's BRITE!!!

& i LOVE it

can't wait till it's cold enuff

to wear it

maybe in Mi this weekend

dehydrated

so i am feeling dehydrated

i am TRYING to push

water & juice

i grabbed a wine glass

filled it with pomegrante juice

almost killed the bottle

well ...

Pam comes in & sees me drinking the juice

from the wine glass & asks if i was drinking WINE

nope ..

i just like drinking from stemware

anyways

i can tell the liquid push is helping

my head doesn't feel like it's

got concrete in it again

gotta get some sleep

have to be up in 6 hours

headband

i couldn't find the sox

so, i picked up the headband to work on

on the 2nd row of the graph

realized a minute ago

the sox are packed to go to the pajama party

i HATE it when my brain doesn't work

allergies are kicking up

things are blooming & budding in GA

it looks pretty

it will take a day or so to adjust

EXCITED about the pajama party

Cathy Rod is coming too

it will be GREAT to hang with knitters

i'll KNIT while i'm alive

i'll sleep when i'm dead

need a swift

buy some Tinkertoys

sock lesson

So, Sue came over to learn about sock knitting

we got to Gusset Decreases

then i figured out that she didn't

have enuff rows for the heel flap

she understands what to do

i wrote her a pattern to follow

she decided not to frog

someone will be able to wear the sox

it was FUN

got 4 repeats done on the pajama party sox

she said she could HEAR the yarn

the corn yarn does kinda squeek

off to wally-world for essentials

then

work on the sox

will take them with me tonite @

Books-a-Million

sleep

when i get home from a trip

i want/NEED sleep

Monday i woke up with

a sinus eadache

my eyeballs hurt

slept MOST of the day

so, now it's tuesday

i am awake

i COULD knit

i gotta pack for the pajama pary

missed mon nite knit

gotta find the sinus headache med

so i can get rid of the residual headache

my left eye hurts

RATZ!!!

forgot the contact check

not making any progress on the sox

since i slept all day

can't find the pattern for the coffee cup sleeve

so i will have to play with that again

forget what needles i used

trying to decide IF i should stay up & knit

or try to sleep some more

SHOULD call the Dr in the morning

get meds to kick this crap so i don't get

too sick to party like it's 1999

yeah ...

i doubdt any of the knitters will be partying

like that

if I drink i can't knit
