So not much knitting going on here! Last week my mom came to visit and we spent most of it running around looking at houses and window shopping for her upcoming house update. Much much fun but alas little got done in the way of Thermal. It looks like it did in the previous post just you know longer. I just measured it and it’s at 13″. I hope to get everything done today that I need to and work on it since I know Steve is visiting at some point this week and this weekend has one whole day taken up with more house gunk. I just want to get to where I divide for the arms. The house stuff goes…I narrowed it down to five that I hope we’re going to see this weekend. If we don’t pick one this weekend then we’ll have to wait till November, since Justin will be gone almost all of October. After running some numbers with Justin’s dad I’m not sure we should. Although I very very very much want more house but we’ll see. I must apologize here to Kraftie and Sarkasmo for yammering endlessly about it. Oh before I talk more about knitting you have to see the horror that is the cabinets they put in these things….
This house is *not* on the list. Horrible cabinets and berber carpet. Berber and cats sounds like a disaster in the making. Anyway….Below is a shot from a brand new house I saw which did make it on the list. At least the model did, I think the lot would be a problem but they could build another.
Anyway yeah knitty is out. I think I’ll make roam but minus the hood. I love Cosmic Pluto’s designs, She really is one of the most interesting of the Indie designers. She’s also sort of built like me so her stuff tends to in theory look good on me. I have some stuff stashed that should work and if not I’ll order some blanks and dye my own. I’m really getting into the idea of dyeing for myself. I think a tonal green or burgundy would be just the thing for me. I also think I have to cast on for something soon before I go into withdrawal. There are so many things I want to knit, just sucks I am such a slow knitter. I shouldn’t be. So I think the goal is more focused knitting. Since speed isn’t the issue so much as how easily the net distracts me.
Just a note on kitchen cabinets: I don’t care very much what wood they’re made of or anything, but the handles better be right down in the corner. If you put the damn handles somewhere in the middle of the cabinet door, I’m going to wedge the door open from the corner with my finger anyway. Who uses handles in the middle of a door? No one, that’s who.
Haha! The first comment amuses me because I thought the same thing looking at the first cabinets; that is, “Why are the handles in the middle of the door?!”
I agree, the net distracts me way too much. I need to figure out a way to move and click the mouse with my elbow, maybe.
dude.
Those first cabinets are teh YUCK. WTF is up with the handles anyways? My short little self would need a chair just to get to the handles.
