For Jasmine's Baby

Badass Knitter

I love this hobby so much. It has taken the place of nearly everything else I used to like: sewing, online gaming, writing bad fiction.  What bliss and utter satisfaction to make something useful.
Of course I take it to crazy limits, as with everything I do. But that's part of the joy.
Knitting has saved me so many times. Dr. Offices, hospitals, long car rides, breaks at work, every day.
I'm not even sure why I wanted to learn in the first place. No one I knew knitted.
Happy accident!
I've been at it over ten years now and still not bored. Plus I finally learned to crochet. And I have made things for everyone I care about.
That is a great hobby.

Katrina and Jessica

Projects complete.
Two hats and booties and some boot cuffs. What next????

Fixed

My ball winder. Ah, yes! I found a post and followed the instructions. Life is good. Phone and good yarn.
I finished Jessica's boot cuffs. Just messing with little projects. So glad to have the winder working again. It slipped off the gear doing the big yarn.
Raining and cold right now. Could go all icy. Nap time!!!!

Relief

After a week of horrible phonelessness I am once again part of the 21st century. I did get a lot of knitting done. Miranda's Thunder hat scarf and half hat. A pair of wrist warmers cabled for Janis. Two hats started for Katrina. On to booties!
Yesterday there was a school shooting in Florida and it really makes me wonder why these things are allowed to happen. Sick and sad.
Don't get me wrong. I love guns. For target practice. Not to hurt people. I'm not sure I could even defend myself. How does someone kill dozens of people?
There has to be an answer besides get rid of guns.

Delivered!

Or picked up. So good to see Monte.

And down to one hat in my locker!

Big Yarn

I was thinking, I have used this stuff before and there's a reason I don't particularly like it aside from the cost. Bit it's what Miranda brought and I have been pleased with the results. Hard on my hands but it goes pretty fast and it feels amazingly soft.
