Random Musings

I heard on the radio today that Tiger Wood's first bimbo to go public wants an apology from him. She feels he owes it to her for lying, telling her she was his only mistress.
Huh?
If he was lying and cheating WITH her, what made her believe he couldn't be lying and cheating ON her?
The mind boggles.

Future Project

I have some homespun yarn that has been calling to me.

I can't remember exactly what the roving was. It may have been Cherry Tree Hill, top, cool colorway, 8 ounces. The actual colors are more purple and less blue than the picture shows. It seems to shade from a few touches of medium aqua throu lavender to deep purple. The white is falkland that I plied it with. Total here is 15 ounces. I put it on the yarn scale and I caculate it is about 650 to 700 yards. I am looking at some worsted weight heathers in a deep purplish color to knit with. The yarn is telling me "Cardigan, Cardigan vest or hoodie." I am waiting for the yarn to settle down to one project.
Besides, on Friday, the Pink Lady moves to the front of the rotation. Until then, sock projects and a couple of shawls will keep me occupied.

Off Needles and Button Sewed On

The important part of the title is Button Sewed On. I hate the finishing sewing up. That's probably why I mostly knit in the round with only underarm seaming at the most. As it was, I had to sew half the snap twice. I needed the "inny" turned around for the snap to work. But I do like this. The cables were easy--again I decided to mirror them for myown peace of mind. If I were to do again, I probably would taper them just a smidge. But I think the Nephew's family will approve as it is. Homespun Alpaca, hand-knit for baby. What could be better?
Other than knitting here, it was a great weekend. Racing is back, and I watched the Bud Shootout Saturday. My man Mark didn't win, but did all right, considering he got involved in a couple bumps and bangs. But come this Sunday--My Mark has the Pole. Signs of things to come I hope.

Three more days till the Duels, or as I call them, the dualies, on Thursday afternoon.

New Project

Since I have another week before I can resume work on the Pink Lady, I began the sweater for my new great nephew.

It is a pattern from Knitting Daily, a free one called Cabled Raglan Baby Sweater. I am using some of my homespun alpaca that I bought as raw fleece. I hope to have it done before the Olympics start.

Did I mention that NASCAR racing starts soon? I will probably be watching that instead of the Olympics. Plus the Bud Shootout is this weekend!

Gorgeous Morning

Cold and clear nights make for some beautiful winter mornings.
Don't you agree? It makes running out early for bunny chores much more pleasant when it looks like that.
