Overdue post about my trip…
I lost my blogging mojo for a few days here as I’ve been trying to get past the torso o’ doom on my husband’s sweater. I am pleased to say that it is finally off needles and I am now about to start on the part I consider worse then the torso: the sleeves. I am not a fan of knitting those at all. And once again, he has the longest arms known to man so they are going to take a bit. That, and I am fighting Castonititis. I’m hoping I can resist until this current sweater is off needles.
Wherein I apologize for being a toolbag…
Before I blog about my weekend and class, I wanted to post this up on my blog just in case the woman who talked to me at HCW reads it. (And I’m hoping she does so she can message me on Ravelry.)
It took about two minutes after you left for me to realize that I had been gauche and rather rude and I feel terrible that I did not quite catch your username so that I could send you a message. It was so sweet of you to come up after class and talk to me; I was so surprised someone knew who I was based on one of my sweaters. Thank you for being so nice, even if I’m a tool sometimes.
How could I forget to blog this??
There will be some silence from me until the end of the weekend, cats and kittens; I’m going out of town.
To Austin…Hill Country Weavers, in fact.
For…

a class with Jared Flood!
I’ll hopefully have some pictures and notes to blog about when I get back. I’m all kinds of excited.
So while I’m disappointed that I’m unable to travel to be at larger wool gatherings like Sock Summit or Rhinebeck, I can at least meet the random knitting superstar here or there. It’s even better that I can learn something from the ones I’ve met.
“See” you Sunday-ish!
The First Batch of "Catch ups"
The Children’s edition, perhaps? By the time The Husband got home, all the light was gone. I hate the time change; it’s going to make it very difficult to get pictures of all of my knits. (I did manage to tackle that pile and only Whisper has ends left to weave in.)
November is off to a good start…
Redesigning my blog…
I’m hoping to pretty it up some more and make it a bit easier on the eyes. Oh, to have my own domain and some more style sheet know-how!
You all will have to let me know how it’s looking. 🙂 Sometimes it is hard for me to tell; I have a widescreen moniter and very little stretches it or displays oddly for me.
Tally for October 2009
And now you can see just how “blah” I was this month; I did about half my usual yardage. However, in the wee hours of this morning, I finally finished the never-ending Whisper cardigan and I’ll hopefully have FO pictures up soon. So, low yardage, long-term UFO off of needles.
