As I ponder weak and weary..On a day so dark and dreary...
Its raining. Its been raining since yesterday. It actually would be a good day to curl up and just knit if there weren't so many other things that demand what little attention I have today. After 2 nights of really bad or little sleep, I am doing good to hold my head up.
Last night's WestSide Knitters meeting was very cool. I managed to get several rows done on my Illusion scarves. Only 52 more rows to go and then the fringe. Next project: a Heraldic Lion done as a center panel for an afghan. Hoping it works up well, and if it does, I want to do a smaller version as a Gryffindor scarf. Thinking already as I translate graph to written knitting terms, that I may want to fill in some areas and simplify it a bit.
BG found a cool cape in black mesh with purple spider webs on it for her Halloween costume, so I am starting a witches hat in black for her that will have purple eyelash trim on it.
Columbus Air show this Sunday! We are going then having friends in for middle eastern food after. Should be fun. hmmm...Where did I put that tabouli recipe?

update, I guess
Been a while..so new to this blogging thing. Or should I say "So? Nu?"
Our Wednesday night knitting group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WestSideColumbusKnitting/ is going strong. We meet at Luck Bros. Coffee http://www.luckbroscoffee.com/rw/ at 6 pm on First Ave, Grandview, Oh...so if you are ever in the neighborhood and want to drop in... All crafters are welcome to come sit a spell, work on a project and chat and of course, enjoy the great coffee and tea choices.
OTN: 1) Still the Socks For Soldiers BBS. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SOCKFORSOLDIERS/?yguid=195932459
I turned the heel and am decreasing the gusset stitches.
2) Started the last pattern sequence on my Dark Mark Illusion scarf http://thestormmoon.blogspot.com/2007/05/dark-mark-illusion-scarf-pattern.html
I am knitting 2 at a time for gifts for the HP fans in the family. They are WAY COOL. Big thanks to Storm Moon Knits for posting the pattern.
3) Found a few older projects hiding in my stash. One is a black shawl, stocking knit triangle, very simple pattern....just need to keep at it. I figure its about half done.
O(ff) the needle...grrrr...a sweater for babygirl which I had done up to the armpits for her. I did a test wrap and it didn't look like it would fit her anymore, so I took it off the needles and then realized it was bigger than I thought, but couldn't get it back onto them..so its back on the ball..sigh.
Wish List: My Fawkes socks out of some yummy Lorna's Laces.
Babygirl and I went to the WoolGathering at Young's Dairy near Yellow Springs, Oh last weekend. I was very good...only bought 2 skeins of yarn. AH....to have an unlimited yarn budget!!!! I could be swimming in the wonderful colors and textures I drooled over while looking around!! BG was able to experience a little spinning tutorial with a drop spindle and a very nice older lady took her in hand to show her how to crochet while I oooo'd and aaaaaaaaahhhh'd and ran my fingers thru everything I could.
On the home front, Homeschooling is pretty much in full swing here. FlyLady routines are coming along. Anticipating the visit from my son who will be on leave from Germany soon.
