Yeah, I didn’t think so either.  Hubby didn’t close the filter basket all the way so it didn’t drain into the pot, instead it backed up all over the counter.  Luckily, since dishwasher is broken and I’ve been hand washing dishes, there was a towel on the counter and it absorbed most of the mess.  Well, the towel kept the coffee from running off the counter and all over the floor, so that was good.

dishcloth madness

Posted in finished objects, knitting on Nov 27th, 2007

 This Thanksgiving weekend I succumbed to Dishcloth Madness.  I took up the challange to knit ten dishcloths by the end of December in the Reclaiming the Home group on Ravelry.  After the first dishcloth, knit on Thanksgiving day, I seemed to lose my mind and so far I have knit nine and the tenth is on the needles right now.  All I want to knit is washcloths!  I already know the next three I want to knit, what is wrong with me?!

snow?

Posted in family life on Nov 26th, 2007

Hubby commented that it felt like snow, today, before he went to work.  Yes, it was cold but not that cold, and this is Seattle, we don’t get snow very often in November.  When the bus dropped Bubba off after school, it was cold and raining, no snow.  About an hour later . . .

Snow in November

Yes, that is snow, big wet fluffy flakes.  The kids put on their warm clothes and went outside and had a snowball fight. They had a grand time, but the rain came and now the snow is gone.  Oh well, easy come, easy go.

not what I was going for

dishcloth 1:10 

Another Garterlac dishcloth, designed by Dave at Criminy Jickets, this time in Sugar’n Cream Stripes.  Started and finished yesterday.

This was not the best pairing of yarn and pattern.  In my defense I had never worked with the yarn before and was thinking gradual color changes not the abrupt color changes actually in the yarn.  That teaches me for not checking Ravelry first.  I actually thought about ripping it out, but it’s only a dishcloth for goodness sakes.  

This is the first of ten by the end of December, a challenge on the Ravelry group Reclaiming the Home.

thanks

Happy Thanksgiving, I hope you all had a wonderful day full of family and friends.  Or not if that makes you happy, hehehe. 

Hubby had to work today so we will be celebrating with my parents tomorrow.  Hubby visited his mom today at the recovery center before heading into work.  It looks like she will be there for about three weeks, luckily it is on his way to work so it makes it a bit easier for him to visit daily.

don’t forget
