oh dear!!!


this is the one that scares the bejeezus out of me

this is the hurricane that is now out at sea crawling up the East Coast....
from the map below you can see it's already close by as the clouds are beginning to come over us
the centre is still in the Caribbean
it's being called a 
monster
because of it's size



it would be nice if that shocking pink line is the path that it takes...the one that veers off back out to sea
so it can become
a
fish
storm



'coz the weather men are talking about
perfect storm
you know like the 
movie
with
George Clooney
and the boat that didn't come back
poor buggers
.............................................................
what I hate the most 
is the
waiting
and this time I have an awful feeling
it might just be
the storm I hate too

and another thing that worries me is the prediction that it could hit the
Chesapeake Bay full on
that would devastate a very fragile area
so let's root for
shocking pink lines
and 
fish storms


we'll be fine I'm sure
not me and him
US
 in the general sense!!!

us'n's
we'uns
y'alls

have to go and unblock the blocking
and see if it worked
I'll let y'all know

the wheels on the truck go round and round....




over the rivers and through the woods
to
M's house we go

not bad for a first attempt huh?
click on photo for pattern


so she can block us to
our full potential
which just happens to be
almost 12 by 72
inches that is






but she forgot to drop our stitches even tho'






that was the reason for our being


:p



hostile yarn!!!...and

 
 
 
my posting is getting worse
I find it hard to think of anything to write lately
so I don't
and the blog just sits and gathers dust
 
AND
 
when you have yarn that won't cooperate with you
you tend to get grumpy
and who wants to read
grumps
 
AND...
   AND.....
...
I am still waiting for the blocking stuff to get here
half the order arrived
and now the other half seems to be lost in transit
somewhere between West Virginia and
the other Virginia
(here...me...theroomontheleft)
where the finished
 but bumpy lumpy scarf sits
and waits
 
 
 
 
to be
stretched and pulled to it's full
height and width
and be
all it was meant to be
 
:}  :]  :| 
 
 
and the yarn that won't cooperate???
 
 
 
 
it doesn't want to be
what I want it to be
so I have to keep ripping rows
and counting
and it's getting
BORING
....................................
!! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz !!
 
AND
 
 
 it seems there is a hurricane a'brewin'
 off the coast
and
 they don't know if it's coming here
and
it just might
do that
and
 if it does
...................................................................
you'll be reading
grumps
alright!!!!
 
 
see ya!!

just a ta....


no 
DAAAAAA!!!
for now
because it needs to be blocked and I'm waiting for all the paraphernalia
to arrive in the mail
then I have to find a place big enough to lay it all out and do it properly
haven't ever blocked
so this will be
interesting
what is it the Chinese wish you about
interesting things

:) :) :) :) :)

have a new love already 
and I'm off to start it
I'll check in later when there is something to show
or if the mail arrives and I can 
stretch and block and
drop all those stitches
