Nov. 2, 2007 - More on knitting and needles
I have quite a story to tell. This is almost unbelievable, but it really did happen. It is really a true story.
On Tuesday evening Wendy realized she was missing one of her size 5 knitting needles she needs to knit the lovely sweaters she is making for her sister-in-law's children. She is working on a deadline (she actually has it written on what she now calls her "knitting calendar") and was supposed to have the back of one of the sweaters finished on Wednesday. All day Wednesday she looked for it. She looked EVERYWHERE. I felt bad for her. I tried to suggest places it might be. In her knitting bag? In the diaper bag? In the freezer? It was nowhere to be found. We made plans to go to the yarn shop on Friday and if she didn't find it by then she would get a new set. I needed more yarn to finish Nathanael's sock so we would get that, too. Yesterday we were on our way to the yarn store when I thought I would do some knitting. I went to take my knitting out of my knitting bag and what should I find there? Wendy's size 5 knitting needle! In MY knitting bag - the one place we didn't think to look because WHY would it be in MY knitting bag?!?! Wendy is such a good friend. She thought about leaving me at the side of the road, but she didn't. She actually laughed. I think she went into hysteria. We both laughed. We were rolling. It was too funny. I promise you, I have NO IDEA how that knitting needle made its way into my knitting bag.
Anyway, we still went to the yarn shop and I got more yarn so I can finish Nathanael's sock. I think I'll also knit some socks for my little nephew with it as well. Oh, and on the fingerless glove that is blocking in the picture in my previous entry. Somehow the left one is BIGGER than the right one. I cannot figure out how. I checked and they are both knit at the same gauge and I casted on the same amount of stitches. It's weird. So I'm reknitting the left one. The right one looks so much better anyway. Somehow it just looks like I did a better job on it. I also went ahead and picked up the stitches and knitted on the ribbing I had forgotten to do and it looks much better now. I'm just babbling on and on. Does anyone even read this? LOL.
Anyway, my friend Heidi (the one who lives in ID) that I stayed with the year before last during HKU called the other day and it was so nice to chat with her. I took a peek at her blog and she has such beautiful hand-spun, hand-dyed yarn. I want some!

As the Mickey Mouse Club groomed the children of the 60s for the 70s revelry cycle so is the Disney-production that is Hannah Montana grooming the children for the next revelry cycle, 2010-2020. The incest photo was a clue.
Similarly, as guitar strumming was a very activity sociable back then so is Guitar Hero the training tool used to gain male interest today.
Osama struck a "deal" with a record company executive in 2007::::With this Democrat in office I suspect we are going to witness an intense revelry cycle like we experienced in the 1970s.
It's children who go to heaven, not old people. Old people became corrupted, fell for temptation and will be reincarnated.
Your children are the ones with the opportunity now. You must sacrifice to give them the best chance possible. You must bravely face god's tests and do the right thing.
