Tuesday Morning

So I finished the mittens Sunday night, yay me! I also started the socks for Sheri, but over the course of Monday got halfway through the foot and then frogged it as it was too big. I did do a gauge swatch, but apparently didn't do something right. Then I had to start over again since one of the babies pulled a needle out on a short row and I just didn't feel like trying to re-place those stitches. Now I'm almost halfway through the foot again and things are better. I believe that this will actually FIT. I love the way the knitted fabric feels in my hands.
Lala thinks (and I agree with her) that I have ADD. I'm never satisfied with anything for long and that's why I have 3 million things all going on at one time. I very rarely actually finish anything at one time. I'm doing better on these custom jobs though, but my mind does wander to other things...and I get up and get on the computer and look at rovings and handspun yarn a lot. I also think about custom jobs that I have for other people. I almost wonder if my tendency to have more than one job on my plate has helped me to combine ideas i.e., the upcycled journal and the artwork of Diana. That can be a good thing, though, can't it? Being able to meld mediums?

No Super For Me

We didn't watch the Superbowl. In fact, we couldn't figure out why the 'net was so slow last night until Scott remembered that the Superbowl was being broadcast. I so didn't miss it :)
I finished Amy's mittens last night and am happy with the way they turned out. I also began working on Sheri's socks and LOOOOOVE the way the yarn feels already. I am going to have to splurge on some of that cash island for myself one of these days.
I talked on the phone to Babette last night, too! That was very exciting, but Ryan just couldn't do without his mommy and was very vocal about that fact. He kept chasing me around the house, yelling...it made for some "hit and miss" conversation on my part, believe me! Ah well, it's all fun and games until you shoot your eye out.
