Archive for the ‘elfine’


in brief…

Have been eating clean for the past few days.  Weight has fluctuated down 5 pounds.  Happy camper?  Oh yeah.  Hoping that I hit my 10 pounds down for the month fairly soon.  We’ll see if it goes down farther by End of Month.  There’s still half a month to go!

Cast on the Secret of the Stole shawl last night.  Yay for knowing how to knit two things at once on the same set of needles with one skein/ball of yarn!  I rock :)   I will attempt not to pat my own back for far too long, as I know that the last laceweight project I attempted wound up taking flight across the living room.  I hate charts.  I sincerely thank whoever is responsible that they are providing written instructions on this KAL.

Dinner tonight?  Chicken Caesar Salad.

I spent a good part of my morning sniffing toner.  All very innocently, of course.  Had to file away 7 months worth of paperwork.  Feeling a little woozy and headachey.  Time for a bath, methinks.   Otherwise, have been feeling really good lately!  Headachiness is only from toner, and not from migraine triggers hidden in bready/sugary products.  Yay!

Would like to get the Elfines done this weekend.  I have some Koigu and some Lime & Violet  and some C*eye*ber Fiber that are calling my name (I’m a-gonna haveta make some very very hard decisions as to which I want to work with next, lemmetellyou.  Really).

YARRRRRn!

Happy Talk Like A Pirate Day!   May all your buckles be swashed, and your barnacles be scraped ;)

In other news…I can’t believe that the Summer of Socks is almost over, and we’re just a couple of weeks away from Socktoberfest…where the heck does the time go?  And why does it feel like the Pembrokeshire Pathways Will. Not. End?  I feel like I’ve been knitting away at the foot for ages….yeesh!  I’m starting to worry about running out of yarn on this one….ook.

The Shamrock Elfines are doing a lot better.  I’m mish-mashing them with the Cabletini sock heels per Manda’s suggestion for toe-up-heel-flaps.  Good thing I read the directions….I can’t knit much more on the Elfines before I have to start in on the heel portion.  Instead of stopping an inch to an inch-and-a-half away from the heel, I need to stop 3 inches away.  So we’ll see how it goes.

Work time!  Say it again with me….YARRRRn! :)
