Gotta Skate IV!


The other night we watched a lovely tv show called Kurt Browning's Gotta Skate IV. You can see pictures HERE and HERE. The show was great, the skaters were wonderful together and who doesn't love Kurt Browning, he is a fabulous entertainer. :) The show is scheduled to play a few more times this month so if you like skating shows, be sure to check your local listings. LOL! I sound like a tv ad. :)


On tuesday night I got a great gift, not the most expensive but surely the most appreciated that anyone can get over a simple plastic bag. Ain't it neat though!!! I think the store name is just too cute, sadly they don't have a website yet but if you ever go to Omaha, NE be sure to stop by. I hear it's a lovely yarn shop and hey, with a name like their's how can they not be. ;) I love their logo nifty logos like that, anyone notice Naked Sheep's logo or Lettuce Knit (both in Toronto)!? Someday I'll travel the world and visit yarns shop, for now I'll stick to the Mouline Yarns is Montreal. Want to know something really funny!? Google Mouline Yarns, who comes up before the store?


I had started the heart scarf but didn't like how it was going (the result, not the pattern!) So I am using the pastel Fleece Artist yarn for a simply ribbing hat.I really enjoy knitting with Bluefaced Leicester wool. I have enough natural wool to knit a sweater from it, I'm keeping it for my 1st aran that I will knit up someday. For now hat number four is finished. :) Well I may add tassles to it but the knitting part is done. LOL! I haven't been feeling too well this week and have not knitted as much as I hoped, the hats schedule isn't too behind but I won't kill myself over the goal I set.

Now for the non-knitting part of today's entry, eighteen years today a small kid learned at school (it was a wednesday) that her father had died. It was only years later that I finally got to know how is died and let me tell you it's a silly and very preventable death. Oh well, life had other plans and it's been 18 years since I got to read the Montreal Gazette comics sitting next to him with a hot chocolate while Start Trek was playing on tv. ;)

hugs

I'm sure I'm not the only one who instantly has tears in her eyes, reading your post today. If I weren't so damned sick, I'd come over there (first I'd have to find out where "there" is...) and give you a big hug. Instead, I'll have a cup of hot chocolate, watch Space TV, find things to laugh about, and tell you that you're in my thoughts. I hope that you find some comfort today in the people around you who can still share your warmth. Bisoux, ma chère Jo. Posted by: Lee Ann at December 10, 2004 01:50 PM
Oh, Jo. (((XOX))) I'm so sorry for that little girl. And just remember that there will always be that part of you that will always be that little girl. Take good care of her, sweetie. (and beautiful hat, btw!) Loves, Amy Posted by: Amy at December 10, 2004 05:10 PM
My thoughts are with you. Aside from a zany sense of humour, we both know what it's like to lose someone who's very close to us, as kids. Be good to yourself right now, and carry the beautiful memories with you always. And hey, the hat is simply fabulous. The plastic bag, well--I'm glad you're enjoying it. I'll see about getting more swag for you when I'm back that way! Posted by: Dionne at December 13, 2004 03:52 PM
