I just cast this on, I guess that's obvious. I finished the Hitchhiker so I cast something else on.  I am working on the secret project (which I'm not taking a picture of) and the sleeves (that look the same but longer) so I took a picture of something new.  The yarn is from the yarn club I was in.  It's a fingering so I am holding it double.  I'm not really a orange person but I really like this.

Since I finished the Hitchhiker it's getting ready to be blocked.  When I fished it I found out something interesting.  I thought I made my last one on a US size 3 (3.25 mm), since that is what is called for in the pattern, but I didn't I used a US size 4 (3.5 mm).  It made a big difference.  Once the new one is blocked (I might pin this one out) I'll measure them but the new one is way shorter and of course thicker.  You wouldn't think a .25 mm would make a difference but it does.  So today I mostly finished the secret project or at least part of it so now I'm working on the hat.  Tomorrow it's back to the sleeves.  At last count they were about 15".

Yesterday I caught up on all my podcasts, finished The Giving Flower and Started Knit 1 Heart Too.  I wanted to watch Knittin' on the Fly but for some reason it wouldn't work.  I don't know if it was my computer or her Blogger page or what but I couldn't even get the page to load properly.  My son saw a little of Knit 1 Heart Too and said Wendy looks like me.  When my daughter saw the The Giving Flower was hosted by a mom and her kids she wanted to do a podcast.  I told her we couldn't because we don't have any of the right equipment but she still wants to try.  Maybe she'll forget, one can only hope.

When my sisters were here I showed them some funny patterns on Ravelry, like a banana hammock (literally a hammock that you use to get your bananas off the counter) and grape cozies.  L is obsessed with the grape cozies and wants some for her birthday. They seem so fiddly and unfun so she's not getting any.  Maybe if I get her name for Christmas.  My husband got us tickets to a minor league hockey game and I'm kind of not looking forward to it.  Besides not being a big sports person the idea of sitting for hours in a seat that is too small for my big butt is not thrilling.  I really want to do more things as a family so this is a start and you better believer I'm bringing knitting.The weather is getting warmer but I'm cold today so I think I'll get up and do some housework and maybe that will warm me up.
