Yeah, so I’m a liar. I said yesterday that I wasn’t going to post on Thursdays. Well, it’s Thursday and I’m posting. So take that!
As the title implies, I got presents today. From my Secret Pal. Yep, someone out there likes me. Thank you SP for the Reese’s cups (must hide from DH), the hand cream and manicure set (how did you know that my hands look like a ragged mess from washing them 20 times a day? not obsessive-compulsive, i’m a microbiologist), the point protectors, and the awesome stitch markers. Just yesterday I was wishing for some markers and well, I guess wishes do come true.
Does anyone know where I got my title for today’s post from? It’s from my favorite TV show of all time. If you know, then you’re a fanatic too!
On the knitting front, I frogged my poncho again. It was looking skanky. I figured out what it was that was making it look like the Duchess of Skanktown. The pattern calls for you to slip the 1st stitch as if to purl (with yarn in front) and to knit the last stitch of every row. Well, my edges just weren’t looking neat like the pattern said they would. They were all loose and shady. Now I’m knitting the first and last stitch of every row. I follow Maggie Righetti’s advice: just give the yarn a gentle tug before you knit the 2nd stitch and looky there, beautiful edges.
No progress on the cat bed. Since Roxie isn’t too excited about the rest of the bed, I’m not going to sweat the border. It gets finished when it gets finished.
I was so excited about my SP gift that I was going to break out the good old camera, and now I can’t find it anywhere? Where are you nasty, little Scotch taped camera? Maybe I shouldn’t call you names if I want to find you. I’m sorry, my pretty, where did you go?
Secret Pal, Spike and Roxie say “Purrrrrr”.
