One Crazy Fiber Lady

Wow, maybe I really am not the slacker mom I billed myself as last week.  Even though I lost a day Saturday to a bad head cold, I managed to finish off Alex’s Drive-Thru yesterday. 

The first sleeve was done Friday night.  Saturday I managed to merely cast on for the second sleeve.  Yesterday morning I picked the sleeve up just above the cuff and went to town.   By the time the Survivor reunion show had started, I had finished sewing on the buttons and weaving in the myriad of ends.  Alex now has himself a very cute new sweater. 

Kat requested one in pink.  Big surprise.  Full project details here: 

I will definitely be using this pattern again.

Another commuter project done.  The brought the Shetland Tea Shawl out of the wings to resume travel knitting.  I managed to finish 3 repeats of the edging on the way in this morning and am trying very hard to not do the math to figure out how many more commutes it would take to finish the damn thing off finally.  I also sort of misplaced my completion spreadsheet when my Treo crashed a couple of weeks back and they gave me a new one.  Should I mention that I hadn’t synced with the desktop in a while?  Nah.  That second Treo is now gone too as we’ve moved to the Blackberry, which I got on Friday. 

Speaking of portable computer-y gadgets and the time-suck roles they can plan, I’d like to mention now that I found a version of Zuma for Pocket PC.  A good and bad thing as I have a pocket pc device that is supported.  Should I mention that I spent hours Friday night playing the damn game on my iPaq?  I got way further in the game on it then I ever did on the iPod, must be the stylus tapping thing versus the scrollwheel.  I hit level 12 before I lost all 7 of my frogs.  I had gained a number of extra lives there   Okay,  so I did play through Battlestar Galactica.  Fortunately the DVR caught it and I was able to watch it yesterday while the monkeys napped.  I’ve resisted picking it up since. 

Tonight I really have to remember to block the teacher gifts.  I was planning to do it this weekend, but that cold thing had me totally useless on Saturday.  Now to find a place where they can dry safe from monkeys and construction. 

Craft on!
