What the...
Why are you waking ME up?
Okay, enough of that. I was freakin' out last night while I was watching and had to vent about it somewhere. I knitted last night too! I worked on a critter knitter blanket, using 15s and two strands of Homespun...it's going really fast. I also decided to take out the shoulder seams on my tank and re-do them. They just look bumpy and sloppy right now, and I really want to wear this tank when it's done. Right now it looks sort of cavewoman-ish with the brown colors and bumpy shoulders. Uggh. (That's my cavewoman sound.)
I just get so excited when I'm almost finished with something, and I want it to be done FAST. So I usually rush through the finishing and it ends up looking crazy. I will be patient. I will be patient. So on my list for this week is finishing up the tank and making it beautiful, possibly finishing my critter blanket, and trying to start this Dale of Norway tank that I've been trying to make. [ By the way, I need size 4 circs for this tank, so if anyone wants to trade some size 4 circs for some bamboo circs, I wanna talk to ya...Just leave me a comment and I'll email you back. I have 6s, 8s, 10.5s, and others in bamboo and metal that I'd be willing to swap...]
Yay for weekend knitting and new knitted tops. I really need to start knitting stuff I can wear to work, but it's just more fun to knit lacy summery tops!
My boss gave me a card for Administrative Professional's Day yesterday! I was touched. It never hurts to hear thanks for the hard work, right? And thanks for all the encouraging comments about my finances. Without spilling everything about my life, my finances suck royally, but I'm working hard to make them better.
P.S. Hope you don't mind all the dog pics...my knitting is a little uninteresting right now.

It's like the entire fan base for JPL (I have to say, SO HAPPY he's outta there) started voting for John Stevens. That's what I think, anyway. It sucks. But on the other hand, both Latoya and Fantasia are guaranteed a recording contract at this point--they're just too good to not get one.
I *LOVE* The O.C.

I hear ya -- I'm avoiding seaming my Must Have because I'm afraid I'll do a sloppy job. But I just have to be patient!
I just put up a kitty pic, so I say Hooray for doggy pix!

Hey, Carrie, I just 3 size 4 circs off of ebay, so if you still need to trade, give me a holler. :)

I am living proof that seaming is possible, even for the most sewing-impaired among us. The key is finding directions that make sense to you. For me, The Yarn Girls Guide has clear instructions for seaming (it helps that my LYS owner also showed me in person) and Interweave Knits has good kitchener instructions (still perfecting that technique, but I've improved).

SCHMOO! Bella's beard is really funny when she has just woken up. I too am feeling the AI anger. I will probably just stop watching though, b/c I'm too lazy to vote.
You should really watch The O.C.-- No rigged voting, no bad singing, just pure unadulterated...smut.
And the writing is kind of good. GO AHEAD PEOPLE, MAKE FUN OF ME!

Hmmm... I thought the same thing about AI last night. What a crock! Makes me want to vote. Scary.
What size circs do you need (length)? I may have some if you're still looking. Do you have a preference - bamboo, Addis, etc.?
