Weekend productivity

I am happy with how the weekend has gone. It has been both relaxing and productive. To me that is the best type of weekend. Friday night, D took me out for sushi and some "private" time for the two of us. We haven’t had a lot of that lately due to schedules that conflict. Reconnecting with him was something that I needed.

On Saturday there was some snubbing going on and then it was over to Dana’s for some KFB girl time. Knitting, talking, planning and friendship. Love it.

Sunday I took myself out for breakfast. I am going back on the wagon this week and had my blueberry pancakes. I then cleaned my car, rented some movies, had the windows open letting the fresh air on, knit, plied some hand spun and cleaned out the fridge.

Hand Knit Friday

Well, now that I am actually knitting socks it should be easier for me to show off my hand knits. I have been wearing a pink alpaca sweater that Karen gave me constantly at work. But since its all the time its not a knew knit. (but it keeps me nice and WARM since the office is fucking freezing).

08.04.24.socks

These are the Reversai socks for Sock Madness with a change in the pattern. Since I didn’t make it to the next round, I decided to do the legs in stockinette rather than the pattern to get them done. Lorna’s Laces in the “Devon” colorway from my stash (yes I actually picked something from there rather than buying new yarn). They are nice and comfy. Notice the shoes? I went after work yesterday and bought a brown pair and black pair of shoes that would show off my socks. Whats the point of having them if you can’t show them off?

My only problem with the socks (and this is a common problem for me) is that I have narrow feet but thicker calves. I like close fitting socks. But when I cast off it is not stretchy enough so it is a fight to get them on over my heel. Once on they are ok. But they don’t just slide on nicely. I knit these socks on a US 0 and cast off with a US 2. Still, they are an issue. So its probably time I learned a new way of casting off.

Next on the plate for socks are Knit Front and Back DK weight socks. This is a new yarn for us and HOLY SHIT I love it. So smooooshy.

kfb green/purple socks

And I am loving the colors. A few months ago the BF’s daughter asked for some purple/green slippers. Boy did I ever bitch about the color choice. But, for some reason I am on a purple/green kick and am loving how these knit up. I can’t wait to wear them. The toes and heels are that green color. *love*

And its Friday. I had nightmares last night. Have no clue why. And can’t remember them now. But it left me tired and drained today. I am going to try to leave work early and nap. Tomorrow, its time with the girls which will be awesome. And knitting time. I am hoping for a bunch of knitting time.

4. What song reminds you of a previous relationship (for good or bad)? Jeff Healy Band, Angel Eyes (bad)

TMI Tuesday

tmituesday.jpg
During one of moments of boredom I was browsing through my bloglines and came across a post that was labeled TMI Tuesday. Well of course I was interested. ME and TOO MUCH INFORMATION go hand in hand. I am the queen of it. Much to the dismay of my friends I am sure. Anyways, go to TMI TUESDAY to see questions from past weeks.

1. Did you have to pay or did you get money back?

Got my money back

2. What was your biggest financial mistake?

Getting a Student Loan for school when I was young and OH so naive.

3. Are you a screamer?

Yes.

4. What part of your body, other than your genitals, do you love to have touched? What part of a partner’s body, other than their genitals, do you love to touch?

I love my neck being touched and caressed. I love to touch my partners chest. Running my hands all over it.

5. What [edit: 12:30]commercial catch phrase best describes your life?

((wow, have to think on this one)) "got the midas touch" comes to mind though

Bonus (as in optional): What was the last thing you took without permission? What was the last thing taken from you without your permission?

envelope, time
