A Notion to Knit

Not quite.

Ribbing is the only part missing from the second sock. I was knitting up until I stopped to blog so I'm going to finish here in a few minutes. Better photos tomorrow in daylight.

'Night.

Short & Sweet

Hopefully sweet.

1. My weekend hasn't been very productive. It has definitely been nice though. Knitting, hanging out with hubby and my kitties, good food.

2. I was lazier than I'd hoped to be with the knitting since last night so I'm still *thisclose* to finishing the second Starburst sock. I'm going to, so going to, finish it tonight.

3. Have I mentioned that I'm missing a lot of my handknit socks? I don't know what that's all about. I have one idea that possibly they are with a few winter stacks that I never brought out for winter but not sure about that. Anyway, I only have maybe three of my pairs of handknit socks and I'm missing two (of my probably three) favorite pairs.

4. I just discovered Brindisi Fontina cheese and am totally smitten. If you like gourmet cheese and haven't tried it, do try it. The one I'm having now, is definitely more nom-worthy than even the regular Fontina I've tried. Maybe the Brindisi is about region? I don't know and admit I haven't read up on it much, just enough to find out it is a Fontina.

5. My girls have taken to sleeping near each other a lot lately. They do this every once in awhile. It always makes me happy while it lasts.

I hope you're having a good weekend, too. 'Night.

What I'm doing tonight.

What about you? Happy weekend!

Huh ...

You Are the Queen of Hearts

To call you passionate would be a total understatement. You have quite a temper. You put fear into the hearts of everyone you know. You are easy to make angry, and once you're angry, you may do or say anything. You love vengeance. You don't like to be crossed. And while you can't say "Off with their heads!" when people make you mad, you wish you could! There are a couple hobbies you're passionate about (perhaps croquet?), but even those can be sullied by the stupidity of others.

What Alice in Wonderland Character Are You?

Blogthings: We Have a Quiz for Almost Everything

To be fair, there were 2 questions that I had no idea about and just picked what the ones I liked. I don't know the story of Alice in Wonderland so that was the best I could do. Hmm..

Two steps forward.

I'm still sorting through the photos from my weekend getaway in January. But, I'll finish tonight! Here are some of my favorites from the last batch. And Happy St. Patrick's Day if you celebrated!

Forgetful

I was going to blog earlier and forgot. Sigh.

Today was a crazy busy day full of running around. No, my car is still not entirely fixed. But yes, she held out for me and was awesome. So, tomorrow I'll return to staying home to play it safe. I think. Yes, I will!

I've picked up two other projects that have been lying around. A baby bootie, actually a Magic Slipper using some Araucania Ranco that I've had leftover from a Simple Yet Effective Shawl. And a plain pair of socks for myself that hold a lot of sentiment for me. Tomorrow I'm going to wash a pair of handwarmers that I've needed to send off for some time now. I hope they are still useful. I think they are, they're headed for Wyoming.

'Night.

A little lost.

Maybe lost isn't the word I'm looking for, but I'm definitely lacking on blog content tonight.

I've just started the heel on my second Starburst sock. This sock has gone so much faster, it's really been fun. However, Hubby's Grasshoppers are still sadly waiting to find out about a third skein. Procrastinator, yes.

My Mom saw a scarf (Ravelry link) that she loved on a Flickr contacts' page so I've been trying to find my copy of One Skein tonight. She wants black, I'm just trying to decide if I'll use Cotton Ease (the pattern actually uses cotton, different right) that I have an abundance of or buy some wool for the pattern. Either way, she probably can't use it soon since she's in Texas.

So, that's me. 'Night.

Awesome little kitty!

I saw Kit while watching "Cats 101" on Animal Planet last night. There was another really cool kitty I wanted to share a video of from youtube but that will have to be tomorrow. I hope you love these kitties too.

'Night.

So it's the weekend.

Saturday night, I've been spending it relaxing. Earlier in the day I worked on one big thing on my list of household to-do's. My back is killing me now, but I'm hoping to get more done tomorrow. The end results of what I'm working on (and really almost all the home improvements) are that we'll rid ourselves of more things that we don't need or want and also have more space. We've donated most of the things we don't want to thrift stores and sold a few items. The space that comes from being free of clutter is so important in our small living area. And of course the inner freedom of clutter as well.

Tomorrow, along with continuing on today's project, I want to clean out my car. It's never really been neat again over the last few years since we moved. I'm taking it in for more repair on Monday and may have to leave it overnight so I'd like it to be neater. I chose not to leave it Friday just for that reason.

I haven't knit a stitch today and maybe yesterday. That's unsettling since I've been knitting so much lately and really finding it comforting. So, that's also on my list for tomorrow!

Really, not much else for today. I hope you're having a great weekend! 'Night.

Your Friendship Style is Independent

You love your friends, but you don't always need them as much as they need you. You like to do your own thing. Sometimes this means taking a break from your friends and carving your own path. As long as your friends give you the space you need, you are happy to be there for them whenever you can. Your friends lean on you for advice and problem solving. You tend to be "the rock." You and an Empathetic Friend: Go well together. Your Empathetic Friend understand and accepts you... but may be too needy sometimes. You and a Gregarious Friend: Get along well, as long as your Gregarious Friend is happy to only see you occasionally. You and another Independent Friend: Have a love / hate thing going on. When you agree, things are blissful. However, more often than not, you butt heads. You and a Philosophical Friend: Are somewhat a matter of opposites attract. You're both thinkers, but you think very differently.

What's Your Friendship Style?
