Socks, socks and still the same socks!!! I have somehow screwed up matching up the sock's sole mate and the bastard heel will be ripped to back yet again. And Harriet the Hamster has learned a new bad word. If my hamster could talk, I'm sure that she'd make a sailor blush! Thank goodness for muteness.
So, I guess a parrot will never be in my future as a pet.
Maybe Sweetie will receive his 2007 birthday/Christmas gift by Christmas 2008. No promises though!

my noodle has been used
And it is tired! Today, the ladies of the Mt. Zion United Methodist Church made noodles. I was amongst their number and was the next to youngest present (I'm almost 31. That's sad.). We made 7 batches of dough and I have no clue how many pounds of noodles that it makes. Just suffice it to say that I was covered in sweat and flour. And I'm going back for more.
If you will be in the Jumbo, Ohio area on the 17th of July, please stop down at McDonald Grange Hall and have a bite of dinner. Freewill donation for dinner that will go towards the church's bills. A good time will be had by all. Promise. If you say otherwise, we'll sick God and Jesus on 'ya. (Ok, probably not, but you never know what little old ladies will do next.)

when arrogance met the knitter
I have decided that I will learn how to knit lace. I chose a very lovely basil colored yarn that is a delight to knit with in a lace weight, found a scarf pattern in the 1 skein wonders book and started to knit.
I knitted 8 rows of straight knitting. Everything was nice and even, gage was happening. Life was good.
I started the pattern. The first row went off without a hitch. Life was getting better. I thought to myself, "This isn't so hard! I have no clue what other knitters are kavitching about. I don't need to put in a ripline!!! I'm good."
Isn't karma a bitch?
The second row ended up with one too many stitches. Never fear! Super knitter is here!!! I will figure out the problem in the next row and fix it as I knit.
The third row ended with one too many stitches. My bubble burst. Only three rows into the pattern and I'm a stitch over on two of those rows. Curses!!!!
I took a deep breath. Cursed a blue streak. Then I calmly took the entire thing off the needle and frogged it back to the start.
And thus the reason riplines were created. Lesson learned for today.
