life is funny.
i find myself feeling as though i've called wolf so many times that no one cares anymore. actually, that may be untrue, maybe its more like "ok les, we'll believe it when we see it". that's ok, i'd probably feel the same way. in a way i'm jaded myself.
i'm branching out into the brave new world of sweater knitting. that's right, i'm going to knit joelle a sweater. i bought some light pink soft yarn, because she's like me and can't bare wearing itchy wool. pink is her favourite colour, but her auntie ena (tim's sister) insists pink with red hair is sheer torture (she has red hair like joelle does), so i figure getting a light pink should appease ena and yet its still pink so joelle will like it. its a really easy sweater, seriously its a "Grade 1" on the knitting scale in my book and the bag i made was a "Grade 3" so i should manage just fine.
i can't believe i forgot to buy incense today when i was downtown.
so i'm really into snow patrol right now, which is sooo funny because last week melissa said to me "i bought the last kiss soundtrack and snow patrol is on it and i thought of YOU" and i told her "oh really? because i don't really know snow patrol at all" and look at me now! all into the snow patrol. i have to admit, i really like that they've done a cover of "crazy in love" because there was something i've always liked about it, but felt weird about that because its a beyonce song.
i'm still wearing laney's sweater. it smells like her. i like that.
i should get going, i rented "the squid and the whale" and want to get knitting. melinda commissioned me to alter something for her for free, and i need to start/finish it before she goes to wien.
ugh, i face the music tomorrow...
we should spend some time apart for both our sakes.

You'll do fine with the sweater. The first thing I knitted, aside from dishcloths, was a sweater for my dad (which turned out well, but ended up fitting me instead of my dad).
What is it with little girls and the colour pink?
that's true. she didn't learn to love pink from her mom or even me for that matter.
i think its gonna be too big. it said 60 sts, but that's WAY bigger than 11 inches. i'm gonna bring it to church tomorrow and ask someone for help. maybe you!
who is saving me from a pit of premature arthritis...
I am so happy that you have found a knitting project once again...and it is pink.
did you check the guage? my mom always said that is the most important thing to do before you start a project! (I usually skip that step!)
looking forward to seeing the seeing it!
oh melinda, i'm happy to help you out.
melissa, don't get too excited. it's not working out properly. the yarn i chose is too thick for this patten, it would turn out like she's wearing a cardboard box. the littlest girl in the littlest cardboard sweater.
haha!! maybe she could be friends with the Paper Bag Princess?
the first and only thing I've ever knitted was a green sweater for my friend Amy's baby. It wasn't so hard, I got all ambitious and bought the stuff to make a sweater for myself, but all the yarn is still in skeins... oops. maybe it's easier to get the motivation to knit for other people.
Seriously now...you hadn't heard of Snow Patrol? We've been listening to it for sooo long...clearly I should share some music with you! So, I hear Joel is coming to Canada in December...perhaps a trip to Kingston is in order to finally meet the wife!
