The Knitting

I am done the knitting on a Vancouver sweater for Artisan Knitworks out of Schaefer Marjaana & Koigu Rumba. The colours blend beautifully. A little assembly & a neck treatment and it's done.






Here is a little peak at the La Luz camisole that I'm knitting for Elise. There is a solid & variegate - they blend so very well together. And that's just the WS of the fabric!!






Here is Amanda's Croc and the bit of the sock that I've restarted. Yes, it is pink!!

I finished the 2nd ChicKami, but sent it off before I took a picture. I know, bad blogger! Just imagine the denim blue one only in a light blue & with wide straps. There!! I knew you could do it! Isn't it lovely?

BT Today

Did anyone tape BT today? Especially Amy's segment? ARGHHH!!! I knew that there was something that I forgot to do - and setting the PVR was it.

Edited to add: Amy's got the You Tube version on her blog!

Could be a Record

"Mommy. Something bad happened at school today."

There were no tears or blood so I didn't really go into Momma Bear Mode. I hadn't received a call from the school so Amanda probably wasn't involved in some sort of a brawl.
Next clue ... no glasses. Hmmmmmmm.
My imagination didn't even have to break a sweat. Uh-huh. Amanda actually wanted to tape them at the nose piece!! Fortunately I didn't have to make excuses to save her from that ultimate geek-sign (although it's nice to know that she likes her glasses and appreciates that they are helping her) because it was twisted in addition to being snapped in half. Wearing them taped in this condition would have required a Picasso-esque contortion of her face; also not a look I was ready to endorse.


When I called the optician to ask them to order another frame, he checked the computer to make sure we were within the warranty period. "Is this the pair that you just got last week?" he asks, a slight note of incredulity creeping into his voice.
"It's gonna be a great 2 years, isn't it?" I came back with. He didn't seem nearly as amused as I was.
Gotta love a good warranty!

I took Amanda and her friend Jenny to see Meet the Robinsons on the weekend. They loved it; I didn't mind it. Figuring out the plot early on took the suspense out of it but it was a cute story. I did some knitting on the latest Artisan Knitworks sweater and some on Amanda's Croc Sock. I bought her a pair of hot pink Crocs but they're a bit loose on her. I said "You just need a thick sock." "Okay!!!! Ankle socks?!" So there it is. I'm using a strand of hot pink Koigu and a strand of Flamingo Opal & 3.5mm needles. It's coming out a bit big on her so I'll have to rip it out and take out about 6 sts. Ah well.

I'll take pictures tomorrow. Promise, honest!!

Watching TAR with Wannietta - part VIII

Not very nice but this isn't The Amazing Nice Race!
Way to try to psych 'em out Eric, but Uchenna & Joyce have ice water running through their veins. They're not affected by your petty mind games.
However, they might be affected by the actual airline schedule.

When these connections work you feel like a hero; when they don't, a total heel.
These aren't novice racers - I love seeing that they do their homework.
I'm getting vertigo just looking at that view! Those are some mighty steep stairs.
A yield - this should be interesting.
"...not by trying to hold people back." I guess you don't think that taking up 2 out of 2 computer terminals is holding another team back Mirna.
Cookie confection. You don't even have to eat them - just break 'em. Artistic Impression - the stamping sounds fun, but it would take much to screw it up.
Crazy monkey - as opposed to the sane monkey!
A lot of fans? I think that I heard one "Go Charla!"
"Dirty, dirty Hookers!!!" OMG "Shady Bitches!"

You're wrong Danny - I know that you want to be right, but you're wrong. There is only 1 cookie with a licorice center not a whole box of licorice centered cookies.
Oh Mirna - you're my hero!! Because Charla is physically incapable of doing a challenge you'll pick up the slack ... 'cause you're a team!!
You have to buy used newspapers! WTF is that about?
Okay - if you're a beautiful blonde you can get them for free.
"Ultra phony." That's the spurious calling the fake a phony.
Again with Mirna just walking over someone and taking what she wants.
Oh Lord - please don't start making Mini-Mirna's!!!
It's a fine line between love & hate Danny - we know that you love Oswald!!

Riding over the curbs will break your bike Danielle. It's a poor work(wo)man who blames her tools.
Poor Danny - the girls are charming the newspaper out of the people!
Hey - where the heck are Uchenna & Joyce?
Ahhh - here they are. So disappointing. At least they didn't make them do the challenges!

Blogthings

I'm knitting away on the 2nd ChicKami & a Vancouver for Artisan Knitworks, but didn't take pictures so it's gonna be a Blogthing Day!! Let me know how yours turned out.

You May Be a Bit Borderline...

Your mood swings make a roller coaster look tame! When you're up, you're a little bit crazy... And when you're down, your whole world is crashing Scary thing is, these moods can change by the minute!

What Personality Disorder Are You?

It's Sandra's anniversary today, so I this one is for her.

You Are A Realistic Romantic

It's easy for you to get swept away by romance... But you've done a pretty good job keeping perspective. You're still taken in by love poems and sunsets You just don't fall for every dreamy pick up line!

Are You Romantic or Realistic?

You Are 69% Addicted to the Internet

In your opinion, life without the internet is hardly worth living. Could be, but you probably need a bit more fresh air and sunshine to think clearly.

Are You Addicted to the Internet?

Maybe ... but I don't think so. Fresh air can come in through an open window, ditto the sunshine. I get out 3 times a day to drive the bus. Online is the best place in the world!!!
