« Not Worthy | Main | Ah Scarf update and more mail »
March 01, 2005
Ah so I have been really bad at announcing the fabulous mail of late. I was RAOK-ed by Illana with a fabulous Post Card that was most complimentary of the blog. I also received my 'its mine all mine bwahahahahah' sheep from Toni. She's so mellow and happy! I plan on draping her artfully[and we all know how artful I am] over the back of my knitting couch. No freaking way is she spending any time on the floor:
Of course I do have to fight my kids for sheep time. I swear sometimes I have no clue why I wanted children. I should have gone for two or argh four of these babies but only 6 were up for grabs and I was trying to be nice. Idjiouts have managed to leave some in stock so I guess Toni and I will be doing some pow-wowing.
Today is my husbands 38th birthday. For the attentive I will be 40 in April and our tenth anniversary will be St Patricks day. Not only was I brazen enough to marry a younger man but we were romantic enough to get married halfway between our birthdates. Since he has commitments on Tuesday nights we celebrated last night and I did not knit a single stitch in an effort to look like a living doll. Waste of effort if you ask me. So you may be thinking 'poor Elka still has 9 scarves to knit' Well I guess you would have to know how I feel about knitting scarves.... a fun diversion but nothing I want to spend weeks on. You are wrong. 500 yards of hand dyed silks from Artyarns for you got it~ a scarf!
Rumor has it another scarf is in the mail to me. 11 scarves! Since I knew about the last two I suppose that explains my disappointment in the 9-Scarf Vest. I was hoping for some cables or something non scarfy. Helene is a sweetheart and the yarns are muy fun.... I have Cast On and am gonna try to whip out a scarf a day. Stay tuned for progress.
TTFN knitbuds~ yarny day and knitterly evening for you

Oh that yarn looks yummy. I'm with a younger man also, but we have the same birthday and there is no way we'd get married that day too.

mg is 9 years younger than me (but you know that) and my 52nd birthday is March 17.
So, how are we going to celebrate? I know what I want. Angela sent me a link - now I have to persuade mg we can afford $580

I was even more brazen than you were and married a man 19 years younger than me! We'll be married 20 years this month. I love the yarn and the sheepie.

As an unmarried, am I allowed to comment? :) Glad you liked the sheepie. Katy (of Katyknits) says her son likes to wear it as a necklace. The start of a new fashion trend?
