A Knitting Affair

Archive for August 9th, 2007

Ranting … I really try not to do it very often but there are times, well, you know, when you just have to do it. It’s like verbal diarrhea that just won’t stop. I have tried to hold it back. I have actually waited two whole days to post in the hopes that my disgust may dissolve into nothingness. However, it hasn’t. If you want to skip down and miss the rant go ahead. I’ve got knitting news at the bottom.

There is a new movie coming out on the death of Princess Diana. Give me a fricken break people. Its the paparazzi chasing her that led to the event of her death in the first place. So now a movie has been made to give insight as to what happened on that dreadful night. HELLO!! One, its another way to have her name out there. Two, her name sells products still to this day. Three, its the media yet again using her for their own good. This sort of stuff drives me nuts. Sure I read magazines and watch entertainment shows. But, I am not obsessed with “stars” and their lives. I think that this movie is taking it a step too far. I will support anything that her kids decided to do. Because that is family. But there is no way that I am going to support another media attempt to gain profit from her life and death.

Ok. So the rant is done. Though thinking about it still riles me up. So we will move on.

Knitting content. I have no pictures. Why do you ask? Well because I have been busy being a nurse, working and knitting. Starting today I am back on mom duty too. So its a bit hectic at my house. I am working on my Cadenza sweater (see earlier posts for pictures). I am working on the body and have half of one sleeve done. I received my yarn pack from Fun Knits for the Kauni Sweater. Love the yarn a ton. I started it last night. Cast on. Spit spliced as I hadn’t pulled enough for the cast on and knit a half a row of ribbing. Am looking forward to doing more tonight.

Eunny’s new design is out … Autumn Rose … I purchased the kit from Anne at She Ewe Knits. Go take a look at her sweater. It is looking fantastic. I also placed an order with the Loopy Ewe for some sock and lace yarn because I need that like I need another hole in my head. And then there was the purchase of Babette….

Needless to say, this weekend I need to work a bit more on my yarn organization. Also, I have been contemplating doing some de-stashing. Though. I think I was a bit feverish at the time.
