One more for the Mothula

Here is a picture from the first Madison Knitters' Guild meeting in September where I showed off the completed Wing of the Moth(ula) Shawl. You can really see the size on this one!! I recieved lots of OOO's and AAA's and lots of people had more questions after the meeting as I wrapped myself in it.

Until next time...

Mystery Shawl Progress and Flower Power

Here is my progress on the Mystery Shawl 5. I am LOVIN how the yarn is coming out!! It looks like rays of fall sunshine!! LOL

With the cooler temps my Morning Glories are in the mists of a flower-athon, racing to produce as many flowers as possible, it seems, before the first frost hits. This one is accented with rements of a soft, fall morning rain.

This week has been very hectic for me. The yarn shop called and asked if I could work twice a week between the routes of the other job for a couple of hours in addition to every Saterday. At first I thought they meant everyday and I just didn't think I would have the energy for it all. I think I can handle twice a week. Right now I am so worn out and tired. My driving job has been nerve-wracking as no one seems to have a sense of self-preservation...and seem to be absolutely bent on going around me-to get in front of me- to get no where quickly but race to the stop lights. *pulls hair out*

Then there is a new person who keeps wanting to be my friend, too much so, and my "freakdar" is buzzing. Just something about this person is not right and I trust my instincts and I have not been at all nice to the person. This company hires just about anyone, from what I have seen. Which just blows my mind considering what we do. Yesterday, this person came up to the van as I sat waiting for the school to let the kids out and started talking to me while I tried to pay attention to my knittings. Asking me a bunch of small talk questions...the same ones she asked two days ago. I don't want to talk. I want to knit because I get very little time the way it is now to knit. I totally gave the person the cold shoulder which is very uncharatistic of me, but something is not right with this one, so I am making a point to not be friendly. They probably think me a bitch. Oh well. Shit happens. I have had this fowl attitude all week. I need a break already! LOL

Until next time...

Second secret of the Stole swatch...swatched

Well I went on a hunt for beads that would fit my yarn and large enough to get a crochet hook (#12) through. I found some at Fat Cat Beads on the east side...for about the same price as online. I bought some "Japanese" square and triangle beads. I like the triangle ones better as they are not as long as the square ones and sit on the stitches better. I am not so sure about that bead shop. The lady was a little wierd who checked me out. Maybe she was just tired as they closed soon after I checked out.

Then, today, we went out to the west side to visit the Bead Bin and Wisconsin Craft Market to see what selections they had. Well crap-a-roonie the Bead Bin was closed because they were moving...down the hallway of the West Gate Mall. Grrrr. What a waste of my flippin time and gas money! I found some copper size "E" beads at the craft market, however most of those beads will not fit onto the crochet hook. So although they look nice in contrast to the yarn, they are a pain to sort.

So I guess I should be thankful that I was able to find beads that I like on the east side instead of the west. Now I am ready for the SotS to begin in another 2 weeks. In the mean time I am working on the Mystery Stole (pictures soon) and I am kept busy by the constant need to spin more yarn for all my projects!

Until next time...
