01.29.2005 :: S-A-TUR-D-A-Y NIGHT!

Shhhh, the family is out tonight and I am in my knitting glory. I thought I'd spend a little bit of the time with you!
Shhhh. Don't tell your kids. I don't want any screaming children running through here. Not tonight. Maybe tomorrow would be good for me!
Wowza!
I just stumbled across the Secret Pals 4 program. Holy Moley! There are over 300 knitters signed up! I am stunned! Stunned. And more than a bit pleased as the founding mother of the SP's. Great going, people! I know how much work and aggravation goes with it. But more than that, there is great personal satisfaction that so many are sharing a bit of themselves with others.
It's good, isn't it?
Knitting
I have realized that my blogging style is to show at least one picture along with my entry. That's a problem. I need to bring the computer to the shop to be looked at and I can't bear giving it up for a couple of days. A conundrum for sure. So, you get words. No pictures. Only pictures painted with words. STOP YAWNING! I saw that!
Scheez. Tough crowd!
What am I knitting?
I am knitting mitten number 2 for the Knitters without borders raffle. I thought I would be done with it by now, but I am not. Plans go awry all the time. It's okay. It will be finished. I can't wait to see who won them! I am about halfway done the 2nd mitt. Alas, I do have a problem, though. I dropped a stitch on thumb number one and for the life of me I cannot find it. CAN NOT. Where did it go? It can't leave. It has to be there. But I can't find it.
Everyday Cardigan in Buffalo Brownski. Yup. I'm knitting that too.
And also the Friday Harbor sock for the sockapalooza! It dawned on me that someone out there is knitting socks for ME. Holy cow, mother of socks! I can't fathom it! Joy. Unspeakable joy at this prospect!
Gotta run, Desperate Housewives is coming on soon. Yes, I know! What trash! I love it!

Thank you, thank you for starting SP-dom!! I've been wondering who was the founding mother. It really is a wonderful way to connect around the world. Hugs.

I always enjoy your post...pictures or no pictures. I love that "Everyday Cardigan" pattern. Hope you have found your lost stitch.

What?!? Desperate Houesewives was on last night & I missed it? Grrr....

No need for pictures, Sandy. You've got a way with words. :)

I always struggle to post sans photo. It's a great exercise in letting the thoughts flow...Wish I could have stopped by last night - sounded heavenly!

Here's the deal: Bite the bullet and get the USB stuff figured out and I'll actually get around to posting sometime this weekend. Good trade? I'm having mitten withdrawal! :) And DH was a repeat. Doesn't it seem early for repeats?

Pictures, schmitures.

You started them and you aren't in it? For shame lol Don't feel bad for not having any pictures, my whole blog is like that so far. I just watched DH, it's so addictive!
