Apr. 7th, 2010 07:31 amWork has been progressing. Its a bit slow on the new job but things are making sense for me since I have time to get "up to speed" that is good. Left work on time and headed home with hopes to head to grandma's with the hubby. He had to work late so I went all by myself. I got the ball of yarn I needed for Britton's blankie, some more ella rae for booties for a seekrit laurel project and I also picked up addi-turbo's for my next few projects. I got the ones I need for my cowl and I got ones for a hat I'm going to make. Though I think socks and cowl will be next. I brought my next sock yarn to swatch tonight for knit night.
Got home and since mel was working late I was a good wife and got dinner cooking to be ready when he got home. I did some pantry kung fu and made a frittata. I'd never made one before but it turned out nummy with mushrooms, garlic, ham and tomatoes. I also fresh grated some Parmesan cheese for the top. Mel relaxed with his new legos and I brought him dinner and a beer.
I managed to finish (minus putting snaps on it) the bib for Mina and the blanket and do some laundry last night. So, here are some pictures.

So, good progress. Tonight I will swatch for my next pair of socks. I've got new needles that I want to try out and see what the gauge will be for the next pair. I need to have a "me" project or two going while I work on all of the presents otherwise I'm gonna get burnt out a bit.
I got some b-day money and I'm figuring out how to spend it. I've been looking at the Tom Bihn sock bags and some other accessories. We shall have to see.
Craftlit has been doing Persausion by Austen. I didn't really like the writing in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (80% of the book was Austen) because it seemed pretentious. It was one of her first books and after hearing some of the history on it and how she was a "pulp fiction" writer of her day it makes things make a bit more sense. Having it spoken to me also helps. I'm finding the humor and the absurdity of the situations much more funny when spoken than when written. All good. I'm going to have to go back and listen to the first 20 episodes of Craftlit since they did P&P sans Zombies as the first book. All good though and I'm surprised I'm enjoying it.
