Frogging

I cannot believe I am once again frogging. I get a project to the point where I think I am doing good & find a mistake! UGH!!!!! The bag I am knitting looks like a Rasta hat so I nick named it "Rasta Bag" I had to frog 10 rows! I was devastated! It is over now and I am about to start pattern again.

Update on Dan The Cat Man. He is living outside. I suppose that is where he wanted to be since he wont come in. He is eating, stopped pulling his hair out and is very thin, but happy. For now we leave him out and he runs off the other strays. He has stopped that annoying screaming he does too....what a relief!

What can I say about Deddy? Seems he is stable and improving. He was moved to a regular room and is out of ICU. Mother says he has his moments (I am sure he does!). I spoke to him on the phone and he seems lucid and happy and was funny and his old self. I hear it does not last long. I hope they can get him healthy again. I hate feeling helpless and isolated from him when he is so sick. He is a rough old codger but he is fighting it out!!! Go Mista Jim!

I am pleased at the number of High School Classmates on Facebook. There are some I know and many I dont remember. Sad huh? Maybe we will have a 35th in 2013 & I will go catch up. I did not know many back at the 20th, but I still showed up. Who knows??? I have not found many NC Classmates....wish they would sign up to Facebook too.

OK I have been at the computer long enough it is time for some yarn time and some girlie movies. I will have new pictures to post soon. I promise! My work is never done.
Be Well & Be Blessed!!!

One glove down one to go!



Ok so I was supposed to snap a picture of the finished glove and post it here 2 days ago. I took out my camera to take said picture and the battery was dead. I have yet to find the charger and so I snapped a picture with my phone. This is a gift so I wont spoil it for the recipient, but it is my first successful cable knit project! The pattern was shared by a friend so I cannot post it here, but will ask if I can link to it just in case someone wants to try it. I had this made to the thumb gussett once and had to frog it back to the cast on knot because I had it all wrong. Man that stinks!!!!
I hope you enjoy this one! Let me know!

My deepest sympathies go out to my friend Elanor at the loss of her dear husband on Friday. I know her heart ache and I know the journey ahead will be a tough one. I have been here & I know.

Be well & be blessed!!!!
