NEWSFLASH
I was all prepared to knit enough for a photo and cheerful expose of my post ick knitting. I have found confessing [or ranting] lets all negative stuff out and allows one to proceed in good humor. But what should my darling Nece do? Overturn a full glass of coke onto my doily and sock--both artfully** arranged for daylight photo-op. I can only thank the heavens that the poncho was on the bed with me instead of the little bookcase//nightstand. Expect something such as 'my how time has flown' when I reblock the doily--I *did* say 5 years after all--and cross your fingers my socks are not permanently stained. Both items are soaking in a tub of soapy water.
** I must confess I never touched a camera until after I started this blog so a few weeks ago. I try to be artful and thank you for not saying otherwise.

ICK
Its been raining for 3 days now and I accidentally left the car door open after my emergency run to grocer for pins trip of ummm Mon was it? I would KILL for some sun btw. Never mind the car. And Nece is sick-has been for over a week. Zip Zero Zilch knitting. I almost blocked something but I have learned my lesson. And if all this isn't depressing enough for you what should I come accross? Marti. Thats what. How totally creative is this chick? Argh. Why can't I be so creative? To take some totally FAT yarn and spin it into something a real knitter would use.
Speaking of Fat yarn, and yes I have been thinking about it lately, I think something is amiss in knitland. I signed up for a Finishing Class with Lucy Neatby. I have no clue if I got in or not. What does this have to do with Fat Yarn? Get this:"Seam with no bulk or fabric loss..." HOW is this possible? Yes I started wondering how how how and while my mind was shuffling over all my past readings/swatches for a tech that would result in no bulk or fabric loss the devil's advocate murmered 'what if: your gauge is 2spi and...' mattress st would take in 2 inches/1 from each side OR crochet tog seam would result in 1 inch total OR.... you get the picture. If I get into this class poor Lucy is gonna be called upon to live up to those words. I am saving the blurb to wave in front of her face. ....no bulk or fabric loss
Pray it stops raining soon please. I am getting *itchy
