Finish What You Started

A word of advice, never leave projects undone for long periods of time. I did this and my tension change. This happenend to me a couple of times. First with my Hanne Falkenburg scarf and then now with my Butter and Jam sweater. I started the second sleeve, just about done, then notice the other sleeve and how loose the tension was on it. Not just a little either, a lot. The sleeve is about 3 inches longer than the other one. And it is only on the yellow cable part. The cap pattern parts are both the same. I do not know. Well, I do know, time to rip and do over. No more putting off till later.

Some Knitting Pics

I still did not get my cameras back but here are some pictures Jodi took for me.



This is the Mason Dixon washcloth. I used the Mission Falls cotton. I just love this book.






This is the pre-felted bag for Miss Jaime. It is lime green and orange. The colors are really more vibrant in person but you can sort of get the jist. This yarn is cool, it is called Lobster Pot. It is hand dyed in a lobster pot and air dried in the Cape Cod sea salt air. The kid better like it.




Finally, one sock, still working on the other one. This is my take along project that I keep in my purse when I go to doctor office visits and what not. The other one will be done by the Fall so I can wear them. They feel so comfy.

Wish I had a Camera

I had four digital cameras, now I have three. Miss Jaime lost one of the cameras, somewhere; maybe I will find it in her room when I finish cleaning it.

In my possession, at this particular time I have 1, an old Fugi, one meg that uses 4 AA batteries and weighs a ton. A camera phone takes better pictures than the Fugi. Where are the other cameras? My lovely children who are on vacation, that I so missed yesterday, have them and left me with the crappy camera.

How come no one can lose that camera? I walk in the kitchen and there it is, I see it everyday, can’t lose it. I need to start taking my own pictures instead of bothering Jodi to take them and emailing them to me. But whenever I do get the cameras back, the batteries are dead and no batteries in the house. I can’t stand it.

Where are my Children

The kids have been gone for 5 days and I am lost. Literally lost. Is this ridiculous or what? This is the first time in 16 years that both kids are gone at the same time. Is this how it is going to feel when they leave the nest in a few years? Boy, I hope not.

I did accomplish cleaning Cameron’s room already. And guess what? He has a floor. I also found out, he has a floor with no rug. The rug was moved to the “band room” under his drum set which is more important than having a rug in his room, I guess. Oh well, off to the store, to get a rug, maybe a shag rug to match his shaggy hair.
