I have come to the conclusion that I am definitely a process knitter. I just enjoy the act of knitting. I went to B's house today for a few hours, and while I was there I had to rifle through his yarn and needles and start something ... I didn't even pay attention to the stitch, or anything .. I just had to be knitting -something- ... and it wasn't at all anything I was going to keep working on. I just wanted to keep my hands busy.
Wish I'd have had this hobby when I was quitting smoking!!
I'm probably about halfway done the baby towel .. no pictures yet because I can't find the dern USB cable for the camera. It's in the house somewhere .. I'll find it tomorrow for sure, since I'm stuck at home without a car tomorrow. J needs to take the car so he can drive to Fort Mill tomorrow for some festival thing that Griffen is sponsoring. It's a good thing for him, as it means he'll get exposure. Not to mention his GM asked him today if he'd be willing to take over the Internet Sales position ... which would be a promotion.
I found my Knit It magazine that has the baby blaket pattern .. and might need to buy some more of the Bernat LuLu I'm using to make it. We'll see. I can get it through Herrschners.com, without trouble I'm sure, but I'd hate to have to spend twice what I paid. It looks like it might be a similar gauge to what it calls for in the pattern, so I -should- be okay. *crosses fingers*

Best Of Moog
Moog? Who the hell is Moog? All's I know is a song just came on my XM Online by Hot Butter. The song's name was Popcorn. And everyone must find this song from their online source of music. (Or gods forbid you actually have it on a cd somewhere!) And you must listen to it. You must!
Oh yeah. A knitting update is needed.
Well, I haven't started on my Booga yet, mostly because Honey has been home, and I've been busy entertaining him. It's a lot of work to keep a husband busy! But he's back to work ... I dropped him off at 8:30 this morning, and he's there until either 7 or 8 pm. I have to run him lunch after the dishwasher guy comes buy to finally fix my dishwasher.
Oh yeah. Knitting.
So I've spent a lot of time working on the baby towel. Even though I'm knitting it at the totally wrong gauge ... don't think it's going to matter really. It's a towel, after all. A warm snuggly to wrap a darling baby in after a bath. And there are a few mistakes I've seen farr too after the fact to go back and fix, so I'm leaving them. Somehow in the middle of the stockinette section, I purled instead of knitting. No reason makes itself apparent. Apparently, my hands just make certain I can't offend Minerva.
I really should whip up a few more dishcloths ... but since I'm going to have a fixed dishwasher again, I don't think I'll be needing quite as many. Yay! But they are good practice for working other things, so I need to do a few more, and get rid of the crappy bits of cloth they call dishcloths at the Wal*Mart.
I found a pattern for the baby blanket yarn I bought .. but now I can't find the dern magazine it was in!!! I know it was in the stuff we bought at the airport waiting for L.'s plane to arrive ... I just don't know where that is. I'll have to peek in the back of the car.
