happy birthday mom herring!!
so, i realized after giving the slippers to my mom in law that i did not photo them, as i thought i had. my memory is soooo bad. they fit her, and she said that the last pair of slippers i got her a few years ago were worn out, so this was good. she didn’t realize at first that i had made them. i think that is a complement.(?) we ate at the ligonier tavern, and our service was really bad. the food was really bad for the first time ever, as well. ah well.
we got groceries after, and jake was tired and grumpy, so we rushed. i got big notecards for writing pattern repeats on when i am taking it with, some heavy duty sleeves to protect my patterns, and looked for those zipper pouches to put my circs in a binder, to no avail. i will try to go to office depot to-morrow and look for em.
i started jake’s armwarmers, soaring on two circs rather than knitted flat. they are just black, just stockinette. boring. i need to finish the last plain inches of tivoli, but it is soooo boring and so cotton. blech!
i started filling my baby pool, a cheapy one, it is a 6 ft diameter, which is about the size of a hot tub. i came in, knitted a few rows and fell asleep for 2 hours. i haven’t even returned phone calls today, and now it is too late.
i finally watched 6 feet under, and i dunno why everyone thought he would be dead. he had the head problems before, i didn’t watch to-night’s yet.
i really really want to dye stuff to-morrow and on tuesday i am going to get all the stuff i have accumulated for my secret pal and mail it already. not that she seems to care too much. she rarely blogs and her blog is very new, also. so maybe she got caught up, and isn’t particularly into it. whatever. i was so excited, too. my bubble has been burst. and my pal is so cool. i am lucky!
i picked up shrinky dink stuff last week and gabe made one, it came out super cute. i need to get our things together and email the sampler. it is so hard to get myself and someone else organized. i can barely get my own ass in gear.
i best go check bloggies now. i have a photo of my first attempt at the amish slipper that came out big enough to fit a size 12 man’s foot, and some of lunch today if you wanna check out my zeitgeist to the left…

Cool! Glad the slippers turned out successfully and she liked them!
Checked out that sampler site after you linked it the other day… how neat! Didn’t know that existed but it seems like a really great idea.

that’s great about the slippers. when you knit the next pair, i want to see them in person. i need to try my shrinky dink stuff too, i put it on my bookshelf and just found it the other day.
