Now I am feeling so free
Science or God will save us...
That's from an Atlanta group called the Lindsay Rakers Band. You can listen to them here. I hope to see them soon, they are playing here Wed night but I unfortuntately have to work.
Sorry it's been so long, you guys! I think of things to blog everyday. But then I balance the checkbook, or some other menial task, and it just doesn't happen.
Also it could be that:
1) I have to study a year's worth of articles before the baby.
2) We are painting two closets and installing closet systems in them. Our clothes are in boxes in the front room. FUN. TIMES.
3) We are having the basement tiled, painted, and shelves installed next week. Which involves cleaning out the basement and getting rid of stuff, and organizing. And preparing. And having old furniture hauled away.
4) We are registering and buying baby stuff. So far, a carseat, a crib, mattress, changing table. This baby is EXPENSIVE. I'll remind him when he's bad.
5) We are trying to budget for a nanny. Including the fact that I don't get paid during the two months I take off after the baby, this is causing me a WEE bit of stress. No new yarn for awhile.
You get the idea. It's crazy, but I know if I don't organize BEFORE the baby, it won't happen for like 10 years. So here we are.
And, my Directv died, AS DID Carrie's ON THE SAME NIGHT. We think they downloaded software and it fried our DVRs. At Fedex just a few days later there was a guy there returning his "R15" as well. I think they screwed up BIG. It's fixed now, but it dumped all my programs. Which makes me GRUMPY!
Cure for Grumpiness? Cables.
During my like two hour phone call with Directv, I did this:
This is a swatch for my next project, the "Cabled Jacket" from Debbie Bliss's Cashmerino DK book. Here's the sweater:
It really helped calm me down while dealing with the Directv people. I only swore at little, and I didn't yell at anyone. That's pretty good for me.
Bridie!
And Bridie, she is coming along nicely. Here's the left front:
And then I decided to do something HERETOFORE never done in HEK. Knit both sleeves at the same time:
Unfortunately, this lasted only for this picture. The balls kept getting tangled, and I hated it. So it's one at a time for us here. Since these pictures, I have finished one sleeve. HOORAY!!!

I have the back done of the Phildar sweater for me hubbie:
That's the best pic so far but trust me, it's done. I knitted like crazy while we were camping a few weekends ago, and in the car. That sweater is LONG. Long long long. I really want to finish this and Bridie before the baby. I have three months. Think I can do it????
