Ribbit Ribbit Ribbit


I absolutely hate to frog, tink, rip, whatever you want to call it. HOWEVER, I'm working on Tangerine Twist right now (see my Fantasy Project list) I'd really like it to turn out well. I have learned that this project is not good "visiting" knitting for me. I've had to rip out the last few rows about 3 times now and I'm getting very frustrated. I'm hoping it will be worth all the trouble.

2nd Annual Paralegals with Needles - Dogwood Winter 2008



On Friday, My knitting pal and I headed again to The Cabin at Still Waters in Cumberland Furnace, TN, leaving husbands, children, cats, dogs, hamsters, etc. to fend for themselves for our 2nd Annual Paralegals with Needles knitting retreat.



It was unseasonably cold, so there was very little knitting in my favorite nest, the screened-in back deck. In addition, both of us are battling nasty spring colds. (Sniff! Cough! Groan!) However, we still managed to have a great time, get a lot of knitting done, and vegged a little in front of the TV without having to fight for the remote.

I finished my Hazy Paves scarf and blocked it last week, so I brought it for show & tell:

This flowering shrub seemed to like it because it grabbed hold as I walked by:

It was about 40 degrees and blustery this morning, so I tried to warm up this little fellow:




I decided he needed something a little more substantial, so he tried on my tank that I finished on this trip:

Our Guardian Indian looked a little forlorn so I let him wear the Calorimetry and the wristbands for a while:



And finally, here's EC's birthday gift hanging around the dog pen. (Honey, there's no dog in there any more.)



Sniffles, piles of tissues, and spells of crummy feeling aside, we had a wonderful time and enjoyed lots of knitting and cleaning up some of those pesky UFOs.

How fast do you type?

I just love these kinds of things:

87 words

Speed test



All that knitting keeps my fingers nimble (plus the fact that I type for a living??)
