O.k. so it's Valentine's Day and this is sweet so it counts right? I just have to go get some stuffing and sew it together.
Happy Valentine's Day if you celebrate that kind of thing. My husband and I are very laid back about it. Usually I'll buy something kind of expensive (for me) around Valentine's Day and call it my present. I know my husband's coworkers have given him a hard time in the past for not getting me something but really what would he get me that I want? Flowers die, I don't need more sugar and do you know how much yarn you can get for the price of some jewelry? I did get a little stuffed toy with some candy for the kids.
I got the first repeat done on my husband's sweater. I still feel really behind. I was worried that it would be small till I realized that the style of the sweater was close fitting and not puffy like a sweat shirt. I didn't even think of that when I was picking patterns I was looking at the cables. I should have gone up a size so he could have that bulky feel but I am not ripping it out again. I hate the cable needle I bought. I almost made a Knit Picks order but I stopped myself. I tried some things I have around the house and what worked best (for me) was a small crochet hook about a size 2. I could slip the stitches with the hook end and knit off the blunt handle. It was a little long but way less cumbersome than the fat hook shaped one I have (it looks like a fishing hook for an alligator or something). I'll have to keep an eye out for a better cable needle like the crochet hook. People suggest double point needles but I don't own any. I may go to the yarn store for their knit night so maybe they have something better than what I have. I'm taking break from my husband's sweater today and working on my shawl. I'm stuck on the ice cream pillows right now.
Yesterday I did watch Running Man. The episodes were funny but nothing stood out to me a note worthy. Gary is my favorite right now. Today I plan to play WOW so I don't know how much knitting I'll get done.
I'm so much better. Just a little drippy nose left. My husband is rarely sick so even though it's not hitting him as hard he's paranoid about how sick he is. He was asking if I thought he had mono. He cracks me up sometimes. My daughter is sick now but she really wanted to go to school for the Valentine's party. She'll be o.k. I just hope she isn't too miserable.
