Hi, I was at a conference yesterday, education related, and I got quite a few glares, but yes I do listen better if I can knit at these types of meetings. Maybe it is due to the fact that I am unhappy when I can’t knit, and so contented it my project is getting some attention. My current focus is on Stephen West’s Boneyard Shawl.
As for your notes…. I have been eager to grow the flow of readers to my blog and to have a “step next level” plan for blogging. I look forward to seeing what you share with us.

Great to meet you Maggie, and thanks for the very kind coverage. Don’t worry though, I’m an expert furniture climber

I’ve learned to explain in advance to the presenter that I pay attention much better when my hands are busy! Haven’t found anyone yet who was offended and I figure as long as the presenter isn’t offended, I don’t really care what anyone else thinks of my knitting!

Comment on Upholstering is hard work by Maggie

I KNOW! I REALLY need to get this finished. I haven’t even touched them since June. Sigh. My fingers got so sore from doing the whole stupid thing by hand, that I had to take a break and then I lost my momentum. However!!! I have found someone with a sewing machine, who swears I can use it to finish them. So.. I’m thinking that JUST MAYBE I can get them done before the new year. Do you like yours? Let’s see a picture!

Well?????

I just bought that exact same loveseat for $25 at a thrift store. It’s looking like I should perhaps go with a slipcover rather than reupholster? But of course, I’m waiting for you to finish so I know for sure.

Do tell…

Comment on Halloween, Shmalloween by Elizabeth

I am not sure I could have said it better myself,… I can honestly say Halloween is by far my least favorite holiday as well unless it involves little kids or pets in ridiculously adorable costumes. That along with the candy, crunchy leaves, carving pumpkins and the pleasure gained from calling the cops on annoying teenagers roaming the streets during trick-or-treating time just for kicks,…are, to me, the only redeemable features of this holiday. Mind you I am a very proud scardy-cat,.. one could describe me as jumpy with high strung leanings and therefore am not into the darker representations of human nature that are displayed during this time of year AND in the same vein, as you have so adeptly described it,.. I too am not into the party hopping and skimpy costuming,.. too much work to keep track of when and where to go and too cold for one to be “fannying about” in less than insulating undergarments!
(my goodness… I sound like an old lady,.. hurrah!)
My story about the scantily glad revelers of this holiday though is completely true. Several years ago a college friend came to visit during this “magical” time of year and as we sat in a pub chatting and catching up over a pint or two, a party bus pulled up to the pub. And out of this party bus emerged several young ladies in costumes for the costume contest. Some were tried and true favorites such as “slutty nurse”, “slutty librarian”, catholic school girl(it needs no epithet), “slutty black cat”, “slutty angel” and of course, “slutty devil”. But what really got my knickers in a bunch were the costumes of a few favorite characters from my childhood: “slutty Rainbow bright”, “slutty Strawberry shortcake”, “slutty Cares-a-lot” of the Carebear persuasion and the most confusing and hurtful of all,… “slutty Sherlock Holmes”… Seriously? Yeah, cause nothing says hot like a mustache, a pipe, hounds-tooth tweed and thigh highs!…. Why can’t they just leave these icons alone! Halloween,.. I shake my fist at thee!

Why thank you! For all the lovely compliments! The yarn is Shuibui Yarn and I recommend it to EVERYONE! It’s such a great yarn! The price is a little on the more expensive side, but absolutely budgetable! I bought it at my friend’s store http://eatsleepknit.com

I don’t blogs so regularly either. I only blog when I have something to say, and that’s not often at all. I do feel guilty if I don’t blog for weeks, but on the other hand, who reads my crappy blog anyway? : D Anyway. I was just trying to say that it doesn’t matter how often or rarely people blog as long as they blog something every once in a while.

And now to the knitting business. The sweater looks really nice. I have seen this sweater before in different blogs, but I think that your one is the nicest one so far. The color is perfect and in my opinion it also suits you very well (as far as I can tell by the picture). I also envy your lovely hair cut.
