score!

I finished my lace scarf. It's an absolute dream. but is it my dream? not really. I'll try selling it. I could see someone, somewhere, wearing it all the time and thinking it was THE best thing ever. but I fall in love with dresses, and big overcoats, not scarves. so, this will be moving on.

AND since this is finished, I'm making another scarf out of the purple yarn I've been staring at.stairing at?stareing at? for a while. Puxatawney Phil said I've got 6 more weeks of scarf season, so I'm taking advantage.

and I still have purses and pindles and wraps and hats and pillows and socks and gosh. a lot of stuff in my head. a lot of stuff that WONT be made out of lace no matter how triumphant the other side of knitting lace mountain may feel. I'm working with chunky stuff for a while. till I get another hankering and then maybe i'll change to medium a 2 light weight instead of lace thread. seriously. I just knit over 400 yards - that's 4 football fields worth of yarn. and it's so thin it always looked really small, like the end was close. but no, four football fields is a lot of yarn over, slip one, knit one, pass. it's a rediculous amount even. and it wasn't mindless because of the slip one and the pass.

man, today has been a hard day. screaming baby for over an hour. knitting the end of that scarf because it looked like I only had a few more rows to do, but it looked that way all day untill, upon casting off, I was actually SHORT yarn. no kidding.

I'm trying to get all this out before jeremy gets home and he will be home any minute now. he's officially four minutes late actually.

and althought today was difficult and triumphant at the same time, I still don't have our room clean, the laundry done/started or dinner started. at least chicken pot pie is easy. it's a bunch of small, easy steps.

ok. gotta go. jer's home. bye!
