Still Alive

Just nothing new to report. UNTIL NOW.

Here's what's going on. Please excuse the blah-ness of this entry. Our office coffee maker is broken. As is MY SPIRIT. That last part might be totally work related, though.

First, a picture of the baby blanket and it's recipient.

My headaches are still in effect. They aren't lasting as long, but they still suck. I am 99% sure they are tension headaches, not allergy headaches, because work? SUCKS. Hopefully (really hoping here) this is just temporary. In fact, I'm sure my headache woes would be over even faster if I, say, murdered one of the bitch whores who's pissing me off lately. Ok, just kidding about the homicide. A girl can dream, though...

Knitting is eh. I came to the heartbreaking conclusion that baby weight superwash baby wool is really not a great choice for fair isling. Way too stretchy and deceiving, especially if you are "impaired" like I am. I don't have pictures, but imagine a dangling, puckered mitten cuff and a pair of scissors looming over it.

So now I'm making a scarf. That's right, a scarf in May. You wanna make something of it?

I have my first day of school tonight. More later as the situation develops.

OH! I we got a new camera! See, the current one fell in the snow back in January and since then has been a pain in the cooter to work with. Also, it takes crap pictures.

Here's our new shiny:

Ok, that's it for now. Oh, one more thing, I got the new Interweave Knits. All I got to say is mmmmmmmmmmmmeh. I will make nothing from it.

Oooo! The new IK is out??? OMG OMG OMG! I can't wait to get home and peak in the mail.

I'm sorry about the headaches. I've been getting similar tension related crapola. I'm only about 3 weeks away from submitting my two-months notice at this place. Knowing that helps.

Just keep reminding yourself that it's not always going to be like this.

Extremely sorry about your headaches. Murder is one of the more effective preventative medications for migraines. Too bad its so costly.

Your cute little spendy friend looks adorable.

My own foray into knitting is going slowly and expensively as well.

GREAT LUCK and BEST WISHES on your scholastic endevors.

Love for my schmoopie

holy cow, girl! I had no idea that the baby blanket was so huge! That's serious knitting. That or you've got one teeny-tiny preggie friend. I hope she LOVED it. If she didn't, I'm going to track her down and steal it from her.
