I was just on Ravelry and realized I REALLY need to take pictures of my WIPs and stash.
Perhaps it's another inspiration to go through boxes...

Boxes be GONE!
The internet connection at home has been on the fritz lately. I think though that it thinks it is a turn signal due to all of the constant blinking. The tech support person was supposed to come last weekend but he never showed. I'm guessing either the job request didn't go through correctly or the giant hole in the one front hedge ate him/her.
The Yarn Harlot event was a total OMG moment and it would have been blogged about if only the stupid internet.... There is something "odd" and amazing at the same time to be sitting in a room full of knitters listening to someone talk about knitting making it all not seem so odd anymore. I could see The Husband in reactions regarding knitting. I laughed. I cackled. I waited to meet her, have my book signed, and got to hold The Sock. It was great and I am grinning like an idiot in the picture w her reminicent of a 3rd grade class photo of me.
I beat a migriane to do all of this as well. A migraine. I know! The nonfrequency of them made it one of those noooooo moments. Of all days that I had been waiting for it was that day. (I often fret a bit about one appearing on days-a-migraine-is-not-wanted, ie wedding day, camping/hiking trip ((will speak of that later)) and whatnot. Ok back off the tangent train.... Nixmusic and I waited in line, a LONG line but it was totally worth it. (While waiting in line, I blabbled - I think - when I saw Franklin from The Panopticon and that he was leaving.
I got a picture w him. I said hello. What else I said? I don't know. I was caught offguard that he was on his way out, didn't want to delay him if he had to leave. What I should have said was something along the lines of I read you're blog, plan on buying your book and I think your comics/drawings are hilarious. Oh well. Perhaps there will be another time.)
I'm currently in a semi war w the shrubbery out front. At the end of the walk are two shorter bushes/evergreens that don't try to scratch off your skin/not sure actual name if you couldn't tell. They were far from equal in size/shape/height so I attached them w THE Hedgehog a ways back. They look better but not "done" yet esp since the one that needs to be a smidge shorter has a big BLECH of dead in the center. You can tell they were left to grow and not trimmed down often by the old owners. I'm hoping they do something growth wise.
The other semi war is the boxes. Oh the boxes! They stare at me. They keep me from working on my WIPs. There is a weekend decree that by the end of the weekend the boxes will be gone through/repacked/moved from the living room/cursed at frequently. Though there is excellent natural light in here so being able to sit and knit/read/watch the cars go by will be nice.
We'll just have to start looking for furniture... again. I KNOW the couch I want is out there. I am being patient. It is out there... all nice and currently free of cat hair. lol.
Nixmusic had given me a washcloth pattern a ways back. ACK a washcloth but NOOOO it will be a blanket. A nice bannaberry - yellow to deep blue multi yarn is the start. I'm thinking a nice bright yellow as smaller panels/pieces then a deep blue/mid blue elsewhere.
