Inertia


I have the feeling these days like I'm swimming upstream. Lots of stuff to do this weekend to prepare for the Upcoming Event. It feels like nothing is being accomplished. I'm working every day at the regular job through Monday. Sunday I'm doing a sort of fitting with the borrowed tent, to see if it will fit in my vehicle. If not, I'll have to rent a little van for the set up and show strike. Unfortunately for me, the Man has a minivan in his fleet that's unavailable to me, because he can't locate the title, and therefore, doesn't have registration. It's been like this for five years, and is one of the things that makes me crazy. Or irritated. One of my favorite television shows on Bravo was called Things I Hate About You. I just love that title. Couples would film each other's annoying habits, and judges would determine which partner was the most irritating to live with. The show had liberal use of the word irritating. One of the more memorable ones was a wife who put Splenda on everything she ate. In my household, I would be the one wearing the halo, and the Man would lose, because he clearly is more irritating to live with. This little sweater was a custom piece, one of three knit for a returning customer. It's cashmere! The body is Cape Cod Fibers, bands Plymouth Royal Cashmere, and tips Debbie Bliss Pure Cashmere. That is going to be one happy little girl with her body surrounded by that.

Men! Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em!

I can picture you trying to cram the tent into the back of your car -- all the while wearing one of those silver tinsel halos and cussing up a storm.

Mwaaa! Feel better! I think the situation warrants more cashmere! Did you see the pretty little wrap that Karen/Yarn is My Metier just posted?

More cashmere is always the right answer. I'm took apart the cashmere and polwarth vest I started in August and am knitting a cuter pattern with it. And, the Black Water Abbey vest that I purchased at Stitches just needs the side seams done. It will look good with my halo!

Hi,

If all goes as planned, I will see you next Saturday at the Country Living event at the Botanical Gardens. My friend and I are planning to come up. The Etsy yarns on my blog are Fearless Fibers, Yarntini, Gypsy Knits, and Twisted. There might be another one that I'm not remembering. I've packed several skeins for my trip. (The cab will be here in 30 min.) We'll see how much knitting I get done...
