mouse hunt

still not blogging like old days... still addicted to Facebook. Someone on ravlery mentioned Mouse Hunt on Facebook and how addictive it was..oh well now I spend every 15 minutes setting my traps and buying new cheese. crazy! no wonder I am so chubbly and not losing that winter flab!
Off to Havestraw to spend a few hours with the baby TJ. Trafffic will be a killer coming back so wont stay too late. 2 hours down and 2 hours back to spend 2 hours there ..but worth every precious minute with him.
Knitting is still going very very slow...At night I don't seem to have the motivation or energy that I had before. I hope I snap out of it soon..I need to clear my plate of ufo's' to start Summer mystery shawl 09 Kal in June.

knitting

So I have not been blogging lately. Blame it on Facebook or this nasty emotional funk I can't shake lately. I have no energy and my back still is keeping me awake at night. PT is not helping. I feel old..

I took a class this past Sat at Milford Pa ( JillDeals) and made a pretty beaded scarf on the diagonal. It was fun and met my daughter afterwards for dinner so very nice time.. Scarf is almost done and good pattern to use up your stash with only 200 yards needed. I signed up for 2 more classes this month. One is at the same shop learning fair isle using 2 hands, ) This one will be a challenge for this uncoordinated left handed person. The other class is with Annie Modeset in Stoudsburg working with embellishments.

I decided not to do the GoddessKnits Anniversary shawl that looks like Dracula's Bride. That is not my style at all. Instead -I am doing her Summer Mystery Shawl that can be square of triangular. I ordered the yarn she suggested for the group in dark green and now patiently awaiting the first clue on June 20th. I will be away then but will have to find a place where I can print the first clue .
