This has been the perfect week to be away to some warm and sunny place but over my disappointment of not making it to the ship.. I am lucky that not working and staying home is like a vacation but too chilly here in NE Pa with temperatures in the single digits. This is not my type of weather. I never set foot outside today just did those repetitive chores inside.
Last night was the first time in a month our knitting group was able to meet with the holidays and bad roads . It was nice checking in with my knitting friends and seeing what everyone is working on. I need some motivation - my knitting karma has been blah lately with still working on the Kal Shawl( 3 clues to go) and the never ending baby blanket . I have so many baby patterns and stash yarn to start another project but want these finished first. Plus- My right elbow has been hurting when knitting -this limits my knitting time drastically.
Last week I bought a new toy , the Blackberry Storm. This is so addictive being able to check emails and facebook even in the car. The frustrating thing is that we can't get any cell phone service at my house or even outside of it.. So I drove 15 minutes to Honesdale to sit in Wendy's to figure it out. I was hoping to use it on our cruise and when I go away in Feb for the month. Really , really wish we would get some cell phone towers around here. Can't they make them look like tall trees?
My Christmas present finally arrived last week- the new Addi Click system.
What a huge and impractical box they come in so had ordered the Della Q organizer recommended by the Addi Ravelry groupies. Only 3 cords come with this so only 3 ufo's can be going at same time so Addis please come out with the single cords soon. I have not started a new project to use them but thinking that maybe I just jumped on the bandwagon too fast. I love Addis for lace but the Knitpick wood Harmonies are my all time favorite and so pretty besides. (also cheaper and no problem on airplanes)
The lack of sun is getting to me- I am feeling tired and no energy and can't see, to snap out of it..Sick of cleaning, cooking and not being able to go outside . I was doing so well eating and going to the gym but this week bad...bad.....bad...

I am right with you on missing sunshine! It makes me feel so unmotivated...
Did you find out if the cruise would give you any refund or no?
I can't use my phone at home, either, really... It very much peeves me! I can text, but calls get dropped. Meh.
I hear you about the cold and drab. We're cold here in NJ. I'm leaving Rhett home today so we don't have to go in and out of the cold.
You will have to start a project soon so we can hear about the Addi's! I do have one set of lace addi's and they ARE nice but I love the KP's needles (for circulars) for their variety and price! I've become a Signature NeedleArts fan for straights! Those are heavenly to work with!
Have fun with the new toy! I try not to use my cell phone. I'm an old fogey - I think they are over used. Sure wish NJ would crack down on people who talk on them (no hands-free) while driving!!!
Sorry to hear/read about your cruise. Have fun with your new phone, my friend has one and she loves it! Hmm...knitting mojo gone...you need to knit something cute and quick...and a bright color too! Hope you can find some inspiration! And keep warm!
