New Yarn

I bought yarn from Knit Picks.
My kids made me do it. LOL
They each got some yarn.
We bought Jig, Gumballs and Vineyard.
I also bought the Northern Lights Mittens pattern and the yarn to make the mittens I'm knitting them now.
Colors are great.
Wonder how long it will take me to finish them.
I also bought new dpns to make the mittens. How was I to know I needed them. LOL
Took picutes of my finished items. I need to take the film to be develped, will also get them on a disk so I can post pictures. I need to find my digital camera and my cards so I can post pictures from last year. I am so far behind on posting pictures. I could probably spend a whole day here and not get them all posted.

Another weekend.

Friday, another week has gone by. Did I accomplish anything? I went to work. I saw my parents. I slept. That about sums it up.
I did do a few Sudoku puzzles. Knit a little. Other then that I'm not sure about my accomplishments.

St. Patrick's Day Parade

On Sunday we went to the St. Patrick's Day Parade. We had a great time. We were cold, wet and cranky. I felt so sorry for the poor little kids who were in the parade. Skimpy little costumes and soaking wet.
We had fun after the parade. Went to dinner, shopping and then came home. While it was a wet miserable day I'm glad we went.

I live in a Winter Wonderland.

I did not have my camera, but I'm sure if you go to NBC11.com you will see pictures of San Francisco with hail, not snow, but hail. I think it was at least 1/2 inch thick.
Before the hail fell we had thunder and lightening, then the skies opened with this white hard icy substance.
We were in Albertsons when it happened. No one wanted to leave the store. We were going to call a cab but since it was only raining after that we figured we could walk home. It was fun in a I'm glad it doesn't happen all the time, type of way.
We were very cold. Shoes and pants got wet, but that is ok.
We are home now, trying to get warm.
Have lots of movies and candy to watch tonight.
So the weather can do whatever it wants.

Do you know the old saying?

Till Hell freezes over?
I think that is what is happeing over here.
We are to have snow at 500 feet.
We do not get snow at 500 feet.
They keep breaking into the soaps to show the snow and the traffic not moving.
I am so cold. It is not fair. LOL

What is wrong with me?

I can not finish a knitted item.
I just ripped out the same ball of yarn 3 times today.
I hope the next time I cast on I can finish this ball.
Would be nice to have a finished item this week.
No rain today. I hope that means I can get to work without getting wet.

Lack of Knitting

I don't seem to be knitting much and when I do knit, I don't seem to accomplish much.
Hopefully I will cure this problem soon.
Rain, rain and more rain. I have no idea when it will stop.
