Ooh ooh ooh!!! I’m in the mood for Christmas!!! I received my “Creative Knitting” magazine on Friday – and have done nothing but knit THESE ------
ever since!!!
I was HATING the red-green-black-white yarn till I made some of these – it’s not so bad now…it’s growing on me I think! That and the fact that it takes about 45 minutes to whip one of these up – that’s practically NO TIME – especially in the knitting world!
I love the Silky Tie Wrap too – definitely going to make this one – probably even more than once – we shall see!
So…..hmmmmmm……that’s it for now! I’m planning to post a couple new patterns to my website – VERY SOON – so stay posted there!
Oh heaven help me – I’ve just downloaded Blogger for Word, and am already liking it – I can use different fonts – WOOHOO! Look out world – here I come! Quote of the day:Thursday evening on a local (Los Angeles) channel, they had a bit about storing your leftovers properly – so you don’t get sick. After the usual “don’t store the whole carcass in the refrigerator” and “remove all the stuffing before storing” tips…they cut back to the studio – where the newscaster, hmmm maybe I should learn his name if I’m going to talk about him – but anyway! He said, “then again, there’s nothing like a little food poisoning to help get rid of some of those excess pounds” – O M G !!! TOO funny! Gross and funny – my two favorite things!
ok, first let me say this: "limbo" is another word for "he-double L"...it's true, I just looked it up in my Roget's thesaurus!anyway! This is what I found in my refrigerator the day before Thanksgiving. I was cleaning out the frig to make room for the inevitable leftovers, when I came across my nice white Corning Ware dish, that had canned pineapple in it. hmmmmm the last time I opened a can of pineapple was in September - has it really been in there all this time? at any rate - look what happens to pineapple that sits in the refrigerator for upwards of 2 months (no, I am not nasty, and nope, my refrigerator is not filthy...this was just a dish that escaped my attention - that's all! for real! WHAT! like you never found anything icky in your refrigerator!!! :oPSO! I went looking on the dubya-dubya-dubya...and couldn't find this particular strain of mold anywhere! thank heavens anyway - it's pretty gross! any mold experts out there?!? "orange" you glad I showed you this picture - I bet you're feeling pretty darned smug about the current state of your own refrigerator LOL!!!
Knitters (and other yarn collectors!) often see things in a different light than the rest of the world.
Which is why my husband thought he was putting together a shoe storage cabinet for his lovely wife (ok, not so lovely, but still his wife!). Said husband apparently hasn't noticed that his wife has only 3 pairs of shoes...tennis shoes for work, PINK tennis shoes for when the white ones are in the washing machine, and one pair of black pumps, circa 1989, because they still fit and they go with most of the dresses in that far right corner of the closet! The part of the closet where most people put their clothes, is filled with yarn and knitting books. I'm serious...I'm not kidding! I want all my knitting supplies right NEXT to me should some tragedy happen to our house in the middle of the night! He'll grab the kids and dog, I'll grab as much yarn as I can and a couple sets of needles. But I digress!
Here is my new shoe storage cabinet: 
Isn't she just the cutest thing you've ever seen?!? I had so much fun emptying those 3 baskets full of cotton yarn, and deciding if Gettysburg should go with "blues" or "grays" and other such life altering decisions! Of course, the hubby is now complaining that it was VERY hard to put together, and he didn't know he was doing that for "just yarn" - bah humbug! JUST yarn?
I would be the happiest woman in the world if he got me "just yarn" for every holiday and special day throughout the year..."just yarn"?!?!?!?
And if he got me "just yarn", I wouldn't have to fret that my navy blue dress looks absolutely horrible with these black pumps, albeit VINTAGE black pumps~~:o)cuz yarn goes with EVERYTHING!!!
