Awesome:
- My Mother’s Day presents. I had my pedicure this morning (my first ever! and the lady said my feet weren’t all that repulsive or anything!) and I used my gift certificate from Lakeside Fibers last week.
- Ravelry, the site I never knew I was always dreaming of until it was invented. I can keep track of my projects, my yarn stash, needles, and so much more. Very satisfying to the OCD (which is under control, thankyouverymuch). You can see my projects here.
- Seeing friends during my last week at home. Lunch today, a road trip tomorrow.
- The Monkey socks pattern at Knitty. (No, they don’t have monkeys on them, nor are they sock monkeys.) I’m making a practice pair, because I’m thinking of making them for Sockapalooza 4.
Not Awesome:
- Pete has been suffering from neck/back/shoulder pain for about two weeks. He’s been to the chiropractor and urgent care, and he’s scheduled for physical therapy in another two weeks. (Such a long wait!) It appears to be something called Double Crush Syndrome, which is related to carpel tunnel. We all feel a little helpless as we watch him tough it out. But every now and then we are able to get him to laugh.
Oh, one more awesome: Starting my new job in five days.
Just thought I’d say hello, lol. I followed a link to you somehow because of your name. Aine is my daughter’s name, I’m an American living in Ireland with two daughters, Aine and Aisling (ashling) and my Irish husband.
I am currently in a knitting phase of my life, so how funny to see your pictures of moebius baskets on flickr (can’t remember how I found that link either, lol) Aine and I just felted my second one in the bathtub today! (have a front loading machine and couldn’t figure out how to use it for felting…
Anyway, will keep you on my bloglines, I love all the projects you’ve got on flickr: felted box, bag, mitts etc…
Thanks for the Ravelry link, looks cool!
