I have totally neglected you. I have no good excuse. But if you are interested, I do have excuses for you. LOL Just not any really good ones.
From Feb. 14th thru Feb. 28th my kids and I were in Georgia and Alabama. My in-laws Christmas gift to me was a round trip flight whenever and for however long we liked to see my family. We flew out to visit my mom in GA. and then made a not so quick 3 hour drive to AL to see my Granny, Sis, and Aunt, Uncle and family. Then back to GA for a few more days before heading home. So with planning, packing, traveling, etc I just didn’t have much time to blog. What little time I did have I spent sleeping. I got wiped out. I actually was so busy that I needed a vacation from my vacation when I got home. It was a wonderful time had by all though.
Before that(on the 28th) I had a birthday and an anniversary(Yes on the same day. No I will not explain to you why. No it does not have anything to do with either mine or my husband’s memory either.) Anyways. According to my son. I am now old at 30 years of age. He’s lucky he is cute.
Jeff and I went out to the Melting Pot with my best friend and her hubby.(Their anniversary is just a few days before ours so we celebrated together) Then off to play put put golf. We had a WONDERFUL time.
As for my knitting… I didn’t get much done while out of town. Again, really busy and too tired to knit. I did however get my Hooray for me gloves frogged and re-cast. This time with both of them on 2 circs. Got about 1″ on the cuff done. And I busted out about 2 dishcloths for my mom before I left. You want pictures? Ummmmm remember how I had said I am too lazy to get out my damned camera and take some? Yeah that applies here too. Sigh…
As for an update on my WIPs
-That hat I made for myself out of the Paton’s Classic Merino is keeping my sister’s head very warm. She loves it.
-Luxe neck-warmer that I tried to improvise(remember I don’t have the pattern. Just went with a picture I saw.) Frogged. I just wasn’t happy with it.
-Made Livy’s mittens. Just can’t find them now. Crap!
-Joey’s hat is successfully lengthened.
-Bean bags are almost done. Just have to fill them and seam them together.
I am currently working on yet another granny’s fave dishcloth. Red and white. I just really like doing them cause they are pretty mindless and right now I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around anything more challenging than garter stitch. At least on a dishcloth if I screw up I don’t give a damn and either keep going and call it a design flaw or frog entire thing.
Oh I forgot to tell you that I started the gussets on my socks. One of these days I WILL finish them. Feel a great sense of accomplishment. And never have a problem knitting socks again.
Going to bed now.
TTFN,

Poor Baby! I know I should have just put you to bed and taken the kids in hand so you could’ve gotten much needed rest while you were here. Yes, we had an WONDERFUL time and it was absolutely fabulous to see Joey and Livy. Yes..I’m gushing. But I’m also enjoying using my new dishcloths! I love them and I will take pictures and send them to you. I’ll also include pictures of Grampa Scott’s knit cap AND the bathmat you made for me. I’m amazed at the beautiful things you’ve made. No…not because I never imagined you knitting (sorry), but because I envy you. I never had the patience for it. Yes, I love needlepoint, but in my brain, it’s not the same. Oh well.
Love you bunches….miss you much,
Mom
I am glad you liked the dishcloths Momma. I will have plenty more for you soon. Anything you want made just let me know. It’s yours.
No you didn’t have to put me to bed. I wouldn’t have gone. I was having too much fun to even think about missing out on spending time with you!
I love you and miss you bunches too!
