Bad Blogger
I admit, I’ve been a very bad blogger. Abandoning it and you for 4 months. I’m sorry (rips back 4 perfectly good complicated rows of knitting as punishment……..It’s a knitter’s thing).



Things have been busy here. First of all tackling computer issues. One dies and then had to get the other running. Then came my roommate having major surgery. Then moving into a 2 bedroom apartment using a car. No truck, no U-haul, just a car. Thankfully it was to the next building. That took a week. Yes a week to move my roommates apartment and get all my stuff out of storage. Oh and the 4 cats.



Oh and the SIAD fair. Robbyn and I pulled that off too. GAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH. It was great though. We’ll be taking it on the road now.



Once that all got settled, it was time for all the meetings to heat up. Our meetings are like alphabet soup. KTP, CTN/MRO, CAB, NAMI, SnB. Then one of those has 2 other meetings and one other has another meeting. I’ve also been appointed Vice president of one.



All through this though I’ve been knitting away. I don’t have pics though because this comp doesn’t cooperate with pics that well.



That’s all for now.

Yarn Fumes
The LYS was having a SALE and trunk show last weekend, and I got to hit it. YES!!! I got $80.00 worth of yarn for $40.00. It wasw completely awesome. Yarn pr0n will be coming withing a week. It was 8 skeins of yarn though.



I even got to educate my roommate too. She’s had an interesting few months. From learning various knitting language “Frogged,” to “The Yarn just doesn’t want to be that,” to who knows what inbetween. As a result, it did not surprise her in the least when she picked up a skein that she liked (she’s a non-knitter), asked me what it could be made in to, and I walked over to the closest employee and asked her “How can I make this come alive.” To back up for a moment, I also fell in love with the yarn when my roommate showed it to me.



We have reached a stash containment issue though. I’ll be back with pics soon.

Amusing note to self for others to get a laugh out ofNote: When it comes to sock yarn (especially red Regia Galaxy), watch Jasmine (pictured below) like a hawk.



(Jasmine wearing a scarf made for my cousin)





I was knitting last night and cut one of the tails off the sock I was working on. The adorable little furball that thinks she is “Queen of the Roost” started playing with it. One second it’s here, the next second it’s gone. She ate the 2 or 3 feet of yarn. She’s never, nor have the other 3 cats done that before. My roommate and I have never heard of it happening. What cat eats yarn?!?!?! Leave it to the Queen of out apartment.

Busy, Busy
Alright, since right after Christmas “R,” my roomate, and I have been working on tthe Self Injury Awareness Day Informational Fair. Things have been going smother this year than last year. A lot hast to do with the fact that we know what we’re doing, I think.



Last year was our first year. As a result, we weren’t sure of what we were doing, or our footing. Plus we has tons of work to do (getting the info, getting it presentable and ready, taking care of the mailing, etc.). We had a place we just didn’t know where we stood (didn’t want to overstep our bounds) even though we knew everyone that works there. This year we’re prepared. Heck, the photocopying is about half done (a month before the fair). Also the invites are in the mail (also a month before the fair) Last year we were photocopying the day before the fair and invites went out the week before the fair.



I’m not saying it’s going to be smooth seas, but a lot smoother than last years. Overall, I’m looking forward to Feb 29th. Ok a day before Self-Injury Awareness Day (SIAD), bit SIAD is on a Saturday so we had to do the fair a day early.
