The “Almost A Weasley Sweater

As soon as I get home from work, I’m going to post a picture of the thing so far.  Although it was supposed to be a “practice” piece, I think I might actually end up wearing it.  It would be great for the doggie park or for when I have to do  “rounds” in the evenings.  It’s definitely not my normal style as the yarn was actually supposed to originally have been a rug! Hahaha..yeah, it’s very striking! LOL

I’ll probably get some knitted on it tonight.  I have a few things on the Tivo to get caught up on and recorded, so that is always dedicated knitting time in my book.

I feel bad now that I made it into “the club” over on Ravelry, because there are literally over 6,000 more people waiting to get on.  So, in honor of them, I’m not discussing it here, yet.  I’ll wait till some of my buddies are there with me and then we can dish all about it.

It’s rather chilly here today.  I think P is doing up a pork roast tonight for dinner.  The great thing about me working on weekends…he cooks! Hooray!  I’ll do dinners during the week and he gets the weekends.  I’ll probably also end up baking again this week, although he’ll be gone most of it. 

We also need to put tyres on his little car.  I called for an estimate yesterday and it’s a grand total of 155.12..yeah, that’s for all four tyres too!  I was dying laughing over that.  My Jeep tyres were about that for just one!  Oh, how I love small cars, they save on gas and tyres.  So, the little car has an appointment next Saturday.  I would take it in before then, but I’m afraid to drive the thing…it has an unsyncronized transmission….don’t ask, it’s a bitch to drive though, although he does quite well with it?

School starts up on the 25th, I’m quite pleased about that.  Although, I’m going to have to miss the 10th, 11, 12, 13th and 16th…that might make a dent in my grade, but I’ll just take it with me.  Goddess knows, I’ll have plenty of time to study in the car, I can’t knit all the way to Ohio..I do have to take a break from it occasionally. My writing I’m not worried about as it’s online anyways.  I’ll just use the laptop in the car and muddle through as best I can.

It’s also someone’s birthday coming up in July….like on the 9th!  Ms. Lana!!!!  Yes, she will probably kill me for reminding everyone, but I like to make a big deal out of it.  She is one of my bestests friends and I think her birthday is sort of like a holiday!  She and I are going fabric shopping and she gets to pick out whatever she wants (yes, they have yarn there as well).  I was trying to branch out this year, as I ALWAYS get her yarn for her birthday.  I thought I would be new this year and get fabric? LOL  I also have a surprise for her as well, one that she doesn’t know about…and I’m keeping my mouth shut about it.  This year, IT’S REALLY GOING TO BE A SURPRISE!

As you can see, it’s rather quiet here at the office today.  I’m about ready to go out and make my rounds (again).  I like to walk through and see and be seen.  Plus, I hate when people leave trash around, it bugs me.  So, I figured I would walk around and pick up the major trash that is laying around.  Why are people such pigs?  Were they raised in a barn or it is that they feel it’s public area so someone else will get it?  What happens if there isn’t a someone else?  Sigh.  Oh, don’t get me started on cigarette butts….I would love to be able to trace dna through these things and make the owners eat the damned things.  Next question?  Why are smoker’s such pigs?  They leave the damned things everywhere and I don’t even want to hear they are biodegradeable…yes, but it takes a few years…do you want to look at them for that long?

Finally!!!!!

I had totally forgotten all about Ravelry!!! They were so deluged with “helpers” that they are EXTREMELY backlogged on getting people signed up. I finally got my invitation today and IT’S SOOOO WORTH THE WAIT! I love the thing, already.

I had to laugh, there is a “stash” organizer. It’s going to take me a month solid to get my stash input!!!! LOL..but I’m going to give it a try that’s for sure. It has a feature to list all the books you have (a fabulous feature because I can never remember what I have!). There is a place for you to list your needles. Once I have everything entered, I can definitely see using it for beginning projects and such. I definitely will have to photograph more and be a bit more industrious in making sure everything is documented. I needed to do that anyway! LOL.

So, after I get off tonight, I’m going to sit down and try to get my needles and book listed up. The yarn stash won’t happen till this week, P will be gone so I can pull ALL my yarn out and inventory it! Whoo Hoo…who knows what treasures I have lurking around this house? Hahahahaha

Oh yeah, on Ravelry, I’m “Fleecy” if you wanna look me up.
