A weblog about my life and designs.

Boring life rundown
Hubby's been home sick.
I'm getting a sore throat - no, no, no.
Dog got a haircut - ours and his big excitement for the week.
Am waiting on a delivery from Hanes.com shipped 2/10. It was sent USPS and I think it's lost or it went to a neighbor, who's kindly kept the order, but they won't reship until March 4th.
I've got 2 new hat design samples done, though I ripped and reworked the shaping many times. Gonna try one or 2 more in another yarn.
It's the most knitting I've done in ages in such a short time, but with hubby encamped on the couch nearby, occasionally napping, I can't turn on the printer or do anything noisy, so knitting it is.
Am already looking to the next design - don't know what it will be yet, but I'm thinking I'll play around with turning some colorwork into Bohus. It's one of the few areas in knitting I admire, but haven't explored yet.
Back to our regularly scheduled boring life. Now if a UPS truck would just come and drop off a few bales of yarn! and the winter VK (my sub lapsed and I haven't been able to get out to get a copy), I could get up a fair bit of mid-winter excitement!
