cough, cough, sniff, sniff...

So, I guess a cold will make you realize you need to post -- never mind that lots of thangs have been goin' on -- but this stinking cold has me laid back and pitiful and sorry for myself (it is after all, the SECOND stinking one I have had in the last 3 months, #!&*()*!!!, thank you very much!)

But, anyway -- was it just weekend before last that I was in the glorious mountains of NC, enjoying the colors and spending wAAAy too much money at SAFF? Yes, yes it was just weekend before last that I was doing that very thing. Let's see, it would appear (please say with soft southern drawl- you know -- "aah peer") that I will be knitting some sportweight knitwear in the coming months, seeing as how I now have over 3000 yards of it. And some silk and cashmere fingering weight (aren't they pretty much the same -- you would think that someone who works (albeit just part time) in a yarn store would know these things, wouldn't you?)

I also came home with the most wonderful alpaca cardigan -- I know, I know, buying already knit items is cheating, but it looks FAB-U-LOUS on me, and let me tell you, as a big girl, things that make us big girls look good, are never cheating!

Let's see -- what else is on the needles and active? Nat's Kenobi Jacket, the MS5, face cloths for Christmas gifts, and the newest, an aran weight cardi for ME -- in Rowan's Natural Silk Aran -- I am using the Knitty pattern Bristow with a little modification possible - more later. Those are the projects I am focusing on for now. (But, that can change at a moments notice -- baraahhaahhaaa)

ahh, I feel better already.

p.s. have a grammar question 0r conundrum -- is the word "crew" singular or plural -- you know, as in "The space shuttle crew have/has several tasks remaining." I maintain that it is singular -- since you can make it plural: "crews". No one else seems as upset by this as I am. Hmm.
