holy cannoli....

it's working!!!

I didn't get to do as much as I had hoped I would

because we had to go out and stock up on a few things

mostly cat related items!!!!

as the husband was convinced that the storm is coming right here

to our house

and laying 2" of ice on us!!!

:)

then we had to put things in order and make sure the batteries were changed and the trash taken out and the

cat box changed and the dishes done and the house tidied  up and ship shape

and the water bottles filled

and

and

and

and

then dinner had to be cooked

and so on and so forth!!!

then the husband decided to shred every piece of paper he could find in his office

and vacuum his space as well

the sound broke my concentration and I lost it

plus the cat decided she was going to complain about every little thing she could think of

since the beginning of time

so I gave up......

I think I have decided I need a wife a maid and a cat wrangler

I'm kidding

just the

maid part

 because I have gotten sick of cleaning the same things over and over

just like the rest of you

and

cabin fever is running rampant

but we won't go there

as they say

whoever

they

are

by the time I sat down and thought about knitting

my head wasn't in the right place and I didn't get to sit and knit

as I had imagined

but

once I started I did quite a bit

and

thanks to

Mia

showing me where to get special

knitting graph paper

I knitted

five stitches at a time

chanting

xx oo x

all the way across the row......

and it meant that I didn't  have to take it out

once

not one time

no backtracking

thank you Mia you have no idea how much the paper helps

a miracle in itself

I almost started something else

thinking that these two colours are boring and horrible

and because it is still dark outside the colour is not showing correctly

it is more purple and less shiny gold

but I will not do that

I am going to finish and at the end have a little bag

with a strap and even a lining

what it will be for

is any one's guess

but we have to start with baby steps

and leave the dresses for the experts

right

Elaine?

 Today I will sit and knit

the cat can write her complaints in

the husband has run to of paper to shred

unless there was a dust storm in here over night

he doesn't need to vacuum

and neither do I

so I will sit and knit

and watch a million people

walk to the palace

and play knock knock

with hosni

knock knock

who's there

bye bye

bye bye who

bye bye

YOU!!!!

told you

it's the cabin fever!!!!
