Well, work was dull. Everyone I needed was either out or out. I researched some stuff a bit, bugged my drafters, bugged my structural analyst, teased the thermal analysts and worked on my special project. I'm really inkling to try to work on other projects but I have to stay monogamous until the embroidery is finished. Though I made really good progress after work. I got all of the white done on the lower half of the hammer which means I have the top to do and all of the black work but that is easy stuff to do once the tambour is finished. So, if all goes well i hope to be onto #5 on friday at happy hour. The girls at Grandma's were having fun. I took a picture and now can't seem to get it uploaded from the phone to any of my normal picture places on the web. Meg's what is the deal? Is there a way to do that yet?

Kung Fu was a bit frustrating but its in the nagging details I'm trying to get right in a form an when we change things in a form I've know for a while its annoying. I see why we are changing it cause it does flow better but grrr....Then I did weights after class which was good.

Stopped by Micheals on the way home and I think I found another colorway for the baby afghans for the "unknown" sexes. I'm probably gonna pick it up, we shall see. Its not like the other stuff I bought will go to waste but I need to check my patterns for yardage etc...I might not make gauge on it and that would kinda suck...anyhoo, I also bought some stitch markers (though I can make my own if I sit down to do it and also bought some more crochet hooks for various things.

Got home and sat down at the loom (okay, I'm not quite monogamous but if I don't sit down a little every day mel will have woven the whole thing. I think next time we need to put 2-3 threads in the first couple of threads to have a strong selvage. We're breaking the edge threads a lot but at least that is getting us good at piecing things in but its frustrating. I also need to look at getting us a bobbin winder or making one. I can do it on the sewing machine but I can't quite get them tight enough yet. We shall see. But I wove almost a complete section of the pattern last night, probably more tonight. Then I sat down and did more tambour.
Got a shower and then started reading Folk Socks by Nancy Bush. Sighs, I want to learn to knit but other projects come first so I figure lots of reading would help me out first. I'm going to read all of my knitting books to understand things and that should help me with my craving to start something new until the embroidery is done. Then it will be on to finish my afghan and start the baby afghans. All good. Just need to get done with the embroidery. My goal is to hand it to ari at scribble on monday. I think I can do it. Especially if we sit and watch a movie on friday night. I also have calligraphy to do but that will be on Saturday and Sunday.
Now to just get through today and life will be good. The pressure systems are giving me a headache but eh. I shall cope after coffee.
