Grumbly and Cranky and Cross - oh my!

I’ve gotten very little knitting done over the last few days - or much of anything else for that matter.  My father broke his hand last Saturday and has since been walking around insisting that he is just fine and doesn’t need any help doing anything, thanks.  While his driving is only slightly more alarming than usual, his refusal to be even remotely sensible about issues like picking up heavy things is tremendously frustrating.

The only knitting I got done was on Saturday when I finished the Whitby socks.


Whitby socks

Whitby socks, together at last



I’m hoping to get some more done on the Seraphina shawl (and if you haven’t seen Bron’s completed item, go have a look - it’s sensational!), enough progress made on the Celtic stole to see whether it’s worth continuing with or not, a little more time with Lady Eleanor (hmmmm...stoles and shawls - is there a pattern developing here?) and I have at least one more thing to finish up for Dulann.  And I’d like to start another pair of socks :)

Don’t want much, eh?  I hope the beginnings of your weeks are a little sunnier!

Oh - and does the pink Chibi look like a hobbit sized dildo to anyone else but me?


Needle case

Hmmmm...

  3. so sorry to hear about your dad, but i’m glad the accident hasn’t left him feeling helpless- he sounds like such a feisty gentleman that becoming weak and helpless would be most out of character-

    nice socks- *and* in an exciting ‘barb color’ too-i’m ‘borrowing’ your idea of tying socks, mittens together for the dulaan box-

    umm, i’ve long thought the pink chibi was vaguely phallic in appearance, but i was afraid that was a lone thought- he,he, welcome to my gutter!!

    stay happy-

  5. Barb - Well, the broken bone certainly didn’t affect his feistiness any :) I’m not sure it didn’t intensify it somehow!

    (Looking around) I like your gutter - I seem to have a bunch of friends here!

  6. Margene - Heheh...the “Hobbit” video game is being played here (not recomended - a truly badly conceived and executed piece of trash) and that’s probably what put the notion in my head :)

  7. Sorry to hear about your dad, hope it heals quickly. I’ve been stranded in blahland too, so hope we’ll all emerge bright and cheery soon.

  8. i was going to say exactly what Bron said - “ I was thinking the same thing!” glad to see I was not the only one! Whats that about great minds thinking alike?

  9. Erin - Don’t you hate it?  The good thing is it never seems to last very long.  It just feels like forever :)

  14. Kathy - What a riot!  Welcome to the sisterhood of dirty-minded knitters.  Dues are payable yearly in D batteries :)
