There were 2 important criteria for my weekend knitting. It had to be cotton. Wool was way too hot for the excruciatingly hot weather we had. I know I have no right to complain because we have had a great summer. But since when has that stopped me before? It was way too humid for human comfort. Or cat comfort, truth be told. The wool actually stuck to my sweaty little hands. Did I say sweaty? I do mean perspire-y. A lady doesn't sweat. Hrmph.
And the second criteria for this weekend knitting had to be simple. We watched the first 2 Lord of the Rings movies and Bethany loves to turn out the lights to watch movies. Better than the movie theater with our own surround sound! And cheaper popcorn!
Now, about the movies. Bethany absolutely loves them. And I did not hate them. But neither did I love them. They seemed like a long nightmare to me. But, maybe it's just me.
However, we had to get our money back at this home theater, as the DVD player pooped out on us and we were left hanging half way through the movie. As any patron of a rental store, I was fully ready to blame the cheap, shoddy DVD. Um. No. This time it's my own DVD player. Oh, good, as if I'm not buying enough stuff to send Derek off to college, I"ll just stroll on over to the store and buy a new DVD player. It is, after all, a necessity of life, is it not?
Are you wondering if I'll ever get to the point and tell you what my weekend knitting was?
OKAY, OKAY
Don't be so impatient!
I pulled out the Rowan denim to make the Tasha bag. (Hi Leigh! )
Cotton.
Easy enough to knit in the dark.
Quick and easy pieces. Instant gratification, baby!
I'll show you pictures of it soon. There's not enough to get excited about yet. Although, excitement IS in the eyes of the beholder, they say!
Happy Monday.
As if.
