Scarf

I started work on a scarf called the Flit'n Float, and I have done.....meh. I did not cast off correctly but I know when to let up on myself. Next time, I'll try it, because I will do this again!
Must return to hats, as it's cold and miserable here.

Flor's Scarf

Riding in the car I got a lot done, creating a turnpike scarf! The color is amazing and I love how heavy and warm it is. I have Maggie's hats on the big needles and I'm thinking how her colors yellow and pink can go together.
I have also started Vanna's baby boy scarf, which wont be as bad because I'm garter stitching it, but on little needles.

New Specs

They are so much better. I don't find myself sliding them down my nose so I can see far away. The computer may still be easier to use without glasses but knitting and TV are much improved.
Staying up late watching tennis and monitoring the usual problems with the neighbors. I actually looked for rentals in the country where we would have no one close by and be able to have some peace.

Hats for Matthew

The green and blue caps looked both SO AWESOME on Matthew that I gave them both to him. Now he has a hat wardrobe.

Beret

I think Misty's hat turned out better than anything I have knit in a long time. It was so cute on her. Flor liked the beginning of the scarf.
Ah! Listening to Arlo Guthrie singing "Alice's Restaurant" and I do love that song. My memories of that time are unspeakable. Good and bad. My whole life has been like that I guess!
I plan on knitting a lot these next two days off. Woke up at nearly six and so I have a long day of it.

First Donation

Flor brought me a skein of yarn to knit her a scarf to go with the hat. Yay! I am rib knitting it, and have about three or four inches. Finished the blue hat and I'll let Matthew decide whether he wants it or the green one. I have the sub-sized green one for some small child in this world. I haven't seen Misty to give her the beret-like hat, and I'm getting ready to start Doris a purple one. My list is not being updated as efficiently as it should be, but oh well! I'll eventually get them all done. Someday!

Thanks A GLOCK Lyle!

My little discussed enthusiasm for firearms isn't a big part of my current life, but when I was younger I very much enjoyed target practice and blowing up things. I have a friend at work who a=has all kinds of cool Glock promotional items and he has given me and Bug a boatload of cool Glock things- keychains, patches, pins, pens, little guns keychains made out of the same genius polymer Glocks are made of! COOL! I am going to make his wife a scarf in deepest gratitude. I was looking at the Flit and Float scarf on Knitty but that looks too hard, so I'm going through my dwindling stash to find a good color to do. I hate scarves anymore, because they take so long. But this is a labor of love.
