quicky

Mommy & Coffee meeting this morning, I started a new knitting project in their hornor! LOL! Had this Gawd awful acrylic that was screaming, make me a sweater so it is on the needles. I am trying out the Wonderful Wallaby pattern. It's a very basic and easy pattern which is why I am trying it out. LOL!

Dh had the day off yesterday, we spent most of the afternoon shopping just him and I, it felt good to spend time with him. He should surprise me with another day off before the end of the week too. :) I bought some rubber markers at the hardware store and will decorate them with beads bought from WalMart, I also got myslef some pliers that will ease me beading experience. I think they're called beading plyers, anyway they are smaller and I can't wait to try them. Dh got to buy a few tool for work, he was please as can be, if only we could have found him a warm construction worker's jacket. Even Value Village didn't have anything of mild interest.

Oh and thanks to the government of Canada for making this all possible! HA!

I decided to frog the 'continental' sampler that I was making using the pattern from the Sweater Workshop. I'm just not interested in doing it anymore, so why keep on working on it. Also I have dropped knitting continental for now as it is SO slow. I tried doing some ribbing and my tension is so loose you couldn't even notie it. So english style it is for me for now on, at least I know how to continental if needed.

hugs,

Glad to hear you got time together. It's necessary for a healthy marriage, listen to your Marriage Dr here!! LOL! I agree on the continental thing. I think if you are a strong right hander, not meaning writing style, you are just as well to stay with what you learned. I have been taught left handed, but I cannot get good tension with my left. I even crocheted first, but I never was able to hold the yarn in my fingers to tension it. Posted by: Chris at October 8, 2003 09:46 AM
