Oh For the Love of Pete
Bought Scarf Style *finally* and....
Must.
Resist.
Temptation.
Looked at referers via sitemeter and got the usual google for elka knits multiple times over which beats plain ol elka cause that could be suspension. I always feel sorry for the suspension folks when I think about their disappointment. But tonight egads 'elka' +'porn' ~ I don't think they were looking for stranded side of fair isles. My pity level doesn't extend far enough to cover smutsters.
Knitwise I worked a bit on tea time. Broke my addi natura on a lace round. Oh wait lace as in YO's every round pattern not lace as in knit plain eor. The damned thingie laddered down 5 rows right along the column of YO's. Had to pick up strands on the 14 st pattern repeat{thank you sweet Mary mother of God it wasn't a huge pattern repeat or didn't cover multiple repeats} count the knit stitches in each column to make sure I had same number of rounds for every stitch of pattern then drop all 14 sts down 5 rows and reknit them upward. My skills don't cover picking up that diagonally traveling column of YO's. I am no longer in love with Addi Naturas. Thats the 2nd needle that broke on the worst possible type of pattern to correct. Lifetime guarantee should include the option of money back instead of we will replace our flimsy needle with another equally flimsy needle. *sigh*
Tomorrow is the girlies Valentines Day celebration at school. The stomach flue seems to have passed tho Zoe did just upchuck all over the front hallway and dining room. 2 steps into the house. Why couldn't she backtrack to upchuck? Still first mess I have had to clean up from her in 24 hrs. She really did get ill Friday night. I am feeling better as well. Tho all the cleaning up after 3 kidlet's messes is keeping my tummy rumbly. Friday and Saturday I was a mess so I am glad I actually have the energy to do all this mopping and laundry. And knitting. Hurray!
