This is my Multnomah by Kate Ray.  It is a free pattern on Ravelry.  It's almost more of a scarf.  I want to make another one but bigger.

Yesterday I fought with the computer all day.  I did hear Wolfe Farms and Dramatic Knits but that was a struggle.  I'm going to listen to more podcasts today.  I really want to get some more work done on my sweater.  I'm almost to the part where you put everything on holders and start the arms.  On my Hitchhiker I'm trying to do at least one "tooth" every nigh but I'm not sure how much longer I can do that as the rows keep getting longer and longer. 

I sewed yesterday and sort of fixed my daughter's obi.  I'm just going to have to make her a different yukata later with proper measurements.  I also started some fleece pajama pants for my husband.   I have as many sewing projects as I do knitting, crochet and spinning.  I need to get back to working on my daughter's socks.  I made some notes so I think I can figure out where I was it just takes concentration. 

I did my exercises today.  I didn't sweat but I did get warm so  that's a start.  On Friday I want to have two jogging sections instead of just one.  I need to drink more water too.  It's a first world problem as I have water available I just forget to drink.  I need a sticker chart or something.

I have some completely random thoughts.  I hate it when you dress up for Halloween or something in say a 1920's flapper outfit or a pioneer type outfit and people say "who are you supposed to be?"  Can't you just dress up in a fun outfit and not have to "be" a character?  My kids went to the church's Harvest Party yesterday and the children's pastor was dressed up as Ceaser (you know form history).  People couldn't figure out who or what he was.  He said, "I need a spear and a pizza so people will think Little Ceaser's.  Isn't it sad that that is the only thing people associate it with." And he's right.  Wile I was half asleep I got this idea.  Wouldn't it be cool to do some research and make a list or something of children's games that do not require any equipment.  There are racing games, tag, hide and seek, and rock paper scissors off the top of my head.  But I know in Korea there is a chicken fighting game where you hop on one foot and try to knock other people down. I'm sure there are tons more and seeing similarities and differences between different countries and cultures would be fascinating to me.   I think of weird thing.  :)
