It's very pink isn't it?  Now that I know how to do yarn overs correctly the heat shows up a lot better.  I used a free fingerless glove pattern. with no design, to get the stitch count and am using the "Hearts for You" chart to make the shapes.  I did some charity knitting and that's it.  I'll work on the mitts for my niece later today so maybe I'll have those done for next time.  I'm just not enjoying the pattern even though it's easy.  Most of the pattern it o.k. it's just the thumb.  I just need to get over it and do it.

Yesterday I caught up on the few U.S. shows I watch.  Today I'll work on my kdramas, I'm really far behind.  The only other thing that's going on is NaNoWriMo.  The first day was kind of easy.  I had the scene clear in my head and when I put it in Google Docs I had 1650 words.  To hit the 50,000 mark you need to do 1,667 words a day.  I added a few words and ended up with over 1800.  The second day was harder.  Part of it was there was more talking but it also felt more like I had to hit that goal.  I did hit it and it only took me about an hour and a half.  I think that's not too bad.  When I'm writing it's fun but at other times I feel embarrassed because the plot and the writing are not good, As of right now I have 3,468 words.  It sounds like a lot but according to the count it's only six pages.

I think that's it for today. Halloween is over with so now I have to plan for Thanksgiving and decide if I want to knit for anyone for Christmas.  I'm kind of thinking that I won't.  I'll see you next time.

This is the progress on my husband's sweater so far.  I still have a long way to go.  I haven't been working on it either, which isn't good.

1500 views!  My page views settled down.  I don't know how or why I was getting a 100 views in a weekend at first.  This is more like what I expected (actually more than I expected) with 100 views in a month.

I watched Running Man and worked on my daughter's sock yesterday.  There was an episode where animal hats were used instead of name tags and it was really cute.  I couldn't take Jong Kook seriously with a stuffed tiger on his head.  Kwang Soo seems to be winning more lately.  No WOW today either, I'll listen to podcasts.

I did finish the fourth repeat on Amey's sock.  I'm up to 8 or 9 repeats and I need to get to 13 so the end is in sight.  The plan for today is to put a cone on my son's ice cream pillow.  My niece, J., has a birthday on the 18th and I don't think I will get her's done on time.  I never sent her Christmas present either.  If I finish the cone I will go back to working on my husband's sweater.  I will feel like I'm making progress if I can start the sleeve shaping.

For my random thoughts today's is about fingerless gloves.  I never really liked them or saw the point.  For no real reason one day, after the disappointment with the other gloves, I put the pair of figerless gloves I made over some magic streatch gloves. I really liked the results.  It was warmer than I expected and I could still get my hands in my pockets.  This has future application.  As a side note why is the computer telling me I wrote "fingerless" wrong? I know my spelling is bad but I really think I got this one right.   Also it's warming up a tiny bit (out of the negative numbers). Yeah!

I made theses gloves for my daughter from the same pattern as the one I tested, with the left overs from the baby blanket.  I lengthened the cuff and made the space between the thumb and the knuckles smaller.

I have 500 views! Yeah!  I hope at lest some people are entertained or get ideas for projects.

So I watched Running Man yesterday and spun.  It's hard to recognize people sometimes because they reveal them and say who it is quickly.  They said Jung Yong-hwa was from CN Blue (which he is) but I recognize him from You're Beautiful.  When it comes to Korean names I never know it the dash is appropriate or if it's ok to leave it out, I've seen it both ways.  My computer was glitchy last night and irritating me so I think I've had my fill of Running Man for a wile. Today I'm playing WOW. 

I thought I finished a shepherd's costume last night but I realized I did it inside out.  I have to rip part out and fix it and I'm running out of the brown thread.  Not that I don't have more but it's not quite the same color.  Today I'm probably not doing may crafts except trying to fix the costume.  Tomorrow when I get back to podcasts I'll try to finish my husband's socks. 

Ok that's it for today.  Time to chase the kids around and make them pick up.  Not my favorite part of the day.  Wish me luck. 

These are the fingerless gloves that I test crochet for.  The pattern is available now.  It's the Easy Textured Fingerless Gloves by Titti Sigillo, I think it's around $3.  It's really easy and quick if you need some last minute  Christmas gifts.  My only thing is that I would like the cuff a row or two longer but that's an easy fix.

My husband had to work yesterday from 5pm till 2am then again today from 11am till 8pm. (I will not get on my soap box about how Black Friday should start on Friday not Thursday).  I purposely kept the children up till midnight last night so they would sleep in and be quiet for him.  It worked but it made the day get started late.  On the plus side even with the weird schedule I did get my exercises done.  Yesterday was just a quiet lazy day. My daughter  made me a purple wool shop with a herd of colorful sheep in the back using Mincraft creative mode.  I thought it was really sweet.

On Wednesday I listened to a lot of podcasts.  Mostly old episodes of Knitting Pipeline.  I'm up to episode 101 in that.  Yesterday I watched Running Man.  I liked the grasshopper hunting episode.  I'm only on episode 70 of that.  I'm watching more Running Man today also, I just don't feel like playing WOW right now.

Wile I listened to podcasts I worked on my husband's socks.  I got one done and turned the heel on the second but didn't get them done in time for this round of NerdWars.  I did submit them for half points.  I'll post a picture in the next few days.  I've been spinning wile watching Running Man because even thought the sock pattern is simple it's too complicated to read at the same time especially when they talk fast.  I feel like I'm finally making some progress on that.  I also almost finished a shepherds costume yesterday too, it just needs to be hemmed.  We got the names for name draw and they aren't getting hand knits/ crochet so that's off the list. I feel like I'm making good progress even if I am running late today. 

I feel like I had something else to say but I don't remember right now so it must not be important right?  I hope everyone had a great day yesterday. :)
