A perfect morning.

2.2.10

So I just downloaded the WordPress for Droid app and thought I’d try it out tonight. So far so good, no trouble figuring things out at all.
Happy groundhog day! I never did hear the result today, more winter? Spring?
Goodnight

Yesterday a friend asked if I was interested in a loom. She knew of a man who had one he wanted to get rid of! So, long story short, I am now the owner of a "Union Custom Loom"
I spent most of this afternoon cleaning and dismantling it, and it is now in my basement. The next pert of the restoration will be to strip off the peeling paint and get rid of the rust.
I found a PDF of an old catalog, it turned out that I paid almost as much as it was brand new in the 1920’s!
It will be lots of work, but so much fun in the end!

Catching up on a few things! Here is a hat I knit in November. I really love how it turned out. The pattern is The Luna Hat. (I’m not smart enough to figure out how to put links in these post via emails…the pattern is listed in Ravelry)

So, as usual, I really didn’t have any reason to worry about the intern who started today. I think it will be a great five weeks!

Today was a nice relaxing and uneventful day. I slept in late and didn’t go to church. It was nice to just sit in my chair and knit, watch the birds at the birdfeeder and enjoy the last day of the holiday season.
These last 2 weeks with the three day weekends have been such a blessing. I have really needed this time to just relax and not worry about much of anything.
Tomorrow is back to the ‘everyday’ schedule. And, I have a new student intern who starts – he will be here for a month. You know, it never changes, I always feel this apprehension and lack of confidence every time I have a new intern! It makes no sense at all, but there it is. I guess it is like anything new, you don’t know what you are going to get – could be great, could be kinda rough, maybe the intern will be crazy and difficult…all those scenarios play out in my mind. I’ll let you know how it works out!
So, I’m sure that I won’t actually be able to follow through with this, but I”m trying to write at least a short entry for every day, I’m not going to call it a ‘resolution’ because I know myself – every time I do something like that the exact opposite seems to be what actually happens.

I stayed up late last night reading the Maggie Righetti Sweater design book. Wow!! what a great resource, and so well written. It inspired me to grab the neglected cascade 220 EPS sweater that has been neglected for many months while I wasn’t sure what I should do – to continue or to rip it all out and start over…Well, I am continuing to knit and will be able solve some of the problems I was facing with the help from Maggie! No new pictures, it looks the same as it did months and months ago (I can’t even remember how long ago I started it!)
I guess that’s all for tonight. Sweet dreams to all, and I’ll do my best to not think about my worries for tomorrow.
