How did This Happen?

It is almost Ten-Thirty and I have been alone since I woke up at Seven-Thirty. Is this heaven? If it is I wonder how I died. I hope it was peaceful.

I had a lot of trouble sleeping last night. Just thought I should share that. I was up until about Two-Thirty. Do you realize how many times I have used the backspace key in this paraghraph, a lot, thats how much.(No these are not my random facts of the day)

I sighned up for a swap earlier this week.(I was saving it for blog fodder, so I wouldn't have to show you actull knitting contnt)The theme is Winter Solstice. I'm not yet sure who I will be matched up with. I just hope that I don't dissapoint my partner, I've never done one before, but I'm really exited. I just want to note here that Whatever I knit fot my partner will probrobly take the place in my goals of finishing the perfect sweater(link below). I'm so sick of the boring Stockingette that the majority of the body is composed of. Which leads me to the conclusion that the perfect sweater is not perfect, it is a pain in the ass. How can I call something perfect when I think it is a a giant pain. But alas who am I to disagree with the almighty Ann and Kay(Mason- Dixon Knitting on the side bar, they're not mighty enough for me to make another link to them)

Random Facts of the day:
4.Every time I start a sentence with the word the I always make the mistake of typing THe
5.Somtimes when I walk around town I sing to myself
6.I love to do dishes. This is a really wierd one I know, but I just like to turn on the radio and dance around while I do them.

(The link to The Perfect Sweater is on Ann and Kays side bar, I know I cheated, but making links scare me)

Out of topics already

I can't belive this, I am already out of stuff to talk about. What is this sort of crap, I should be blabbering about everything nonstop. It's day three, for crying out loud. I should have plenty to say. Ohhhh! I just thought of stuff.

Yesterdays Spinning-
I almost have spun enough for a pair of socks. I am tempted to just start knitting and spin more when I need it. I have never knit with handspun, and I'm really exited about it. I'll try to hold off the urge, but I'm not making promises.

I had an Idea(eveyone duck)on the days when I hve made no knitting progress, I should just tell Random facts about me. Hell, I'll do it even when I have knitting to talk about. How about three a day. Three is a very powereful number(can you tell I have watched a lot of Charmed now that I'm laid up)

1.I cannot stand Radio commercials under no circumstances will I listen to one.
2.I love to be home alone. I wish that I lived alone so that sort of thing could happen more often. But when you live in a house with three people, all one different shifts, it takes a fair amount of fannagallin.
3.Every night I imagine some ones arms rapped around me as I fall asleep. Sad isn't it.

9 more days till I can get my learners permit!!
Just thought I should share that!

Makeover

I made a few changes to my blog yesterday. I think that I like it, but I'm not entirley sure, please share your thoughts on this and any other thoughts about Garret Knits Ohio that you may want to share. I value others input.

I also decided that I should institute a new rule that I learned about from The Yarn Harlot. (link on the side bar) The rule about spinning on Tuesdays. I do spin with a drop spindle every once and a while, and I decided that I needed to get back in the habit of spinning occasionally.

So I dusted off the Drop Spindle(which is the best envention ever besides circular needles) and started spinning my old wool(so old I can't remember what it is) and am trying to spin enough for a pair of socks.

I think I might try nablopomo. You know the thing where you post every day for the month of November. I'm not offically registard for it, so if I fall off the wagon ( which is more than likley to happen) I just have to listen to my conscience berate me for it.

There goes that month

My poor abused computer is back, with a brand new screen and ready to take on the world. I got it back, like a week ago and I just figured that I would just skip over October and go straight to November. Sounds logical right? I hope so, but missing the second month of my poasting monthly goals is not a good way to start off a new system. I had an excuse though, I didn't have a computer, bloging with out a computer is hard.

So most of September's goals got finished, just not in September. But I will only count September as September, not September and October. So lets review September:

1.Crank out at least 7 dishclothes in various colors and sizes.
Done, It wasn't fun, but I did it and I'm all the better for it.

2.Finish the sleves to my perfect sweater.
Done, with the back and one of the fronts. It was like water gate tourture, but it is done and soon I will be the proud possesor of something made out of wool that has not acidentilly been felted.

3.Finish Gonna's Citron.
Done, but not with the tassels that I plan to put on it, I kept putting it off and putting it off, and it still is not done, and I doubt it ever will be.

4.Finish Leaves and vines Sock.
Done, but not in September. I improvised with some left over yarn, and I can't wait to have a chance to wear them.

5.Finish the Blueberry Waffles socks.
Sorry, ran out of yarn, but can't figure out what to improvise with.

6.Finish any Baby garmet.
Sort of, I did all the knitting, but I never sewed the buttons on.

So for the month of September, I give myself a C. Not to bad, right?

For the month of november my goals are as fallows:

1.Finish the Perfect Sweater.
2.Finish the Throughbred Sweater.
3.Finish at least five dishclothes.
4.Start and finish at least one baby anything.
5.Finish at least two Christmas Presents.

(Maybe do some socks or something, I'm no tgoing to put this down, just letting you know that socks may or may not happen)

It sounds like a lot, I know, but being Laid up and all frees up a lot of knitting time. And let it be known theat the Christmas gifts are the most important.(The dishclothes are Christmas presents)

Can I do it? YES I CAN!!
