Happy Friday!

I was wondering that too Adamar.

A garlic festival sounds awesome!

Grover, it depends on the project.  If it's just simply knitting or purling, I can knit without looking down.  I can knit a simple sock (no pattern) without looking down.  Right now I'm working on a hat with two different colors (fair isle) and I have to watch every single stitch. 

Good on you for cabling!  I haven't been able to get comfortable with that yet.

Bay, I'm impressed with your foray into fair isle.  Looking at patterns for it, I'm always too chicken to try.  As for cabling, I found a relatively simple pattern a while back that the cables are just a C6F pattern, and only every 8th row.  It makes me feel better that I'm not the only one who has to watch what I'm doing

[QUOTE]Ack. It looks like the comments are down the middle on the dresses. heh heh. Well, it looks like the second one isn't in any stores around here, so I'll have to see if the first one fits right. I get nervous buying dresses without trying them on first. Ski -- I love Bonefish. <strong>Get the Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer. That ish is delicious.</strong>

I second this suggestion.

Hi there! I don't have much today. I have to go to the new job to sign the papers to sign off on the background check and drug test. I had to get up super early with Lucas this morning so I could get my dad's car from Silver Spring.

Our POD is being delivered tomorrow and we have to somehow manage to get three parking spaces in a row, on a street with public parking. So I picked his car up so hopefully we can manage to get my car, his, and Lucas's work truck together this evening so we won't have issues tomorrow. We'll see how that works out.

Morning. This weekend isn't too exciting, thankfully because the past few weeks have been exhausting... FI & I are going to our church's "Date Night Challenge" tonight. Tomorrow is gym day and cleaning & Sunday will be spent at church in the a.m. then more cleaning & mentally preparing for mom's double mastectomy on Monday.

Happy Friday! Hope everyone's Fridays pass by quickly!

Bang, Bang Shrimp it will be!  Thanks for the suggestion.

Good thoughts to you and your mom Josephwedding for Monday.

T&P josephwedding for your mom and your family!

Grover, it's actually a LOT easier than I thought it would be, simple because there is no pattern at all, it's just basically knitting a stockinette hat, only with two colors.  The only tricky thing is that my left hand is basically deadweight, so I have to keep doing knit one, drop the color, pick up the other color, knit one, etc.  I wish I was ambidextrous, I would knit so much faster.

Morning!

Cfas, I am one of those people who doesn't know how to handle other people's grief very well, I'm sorry your H is like me. I hate it though and wish I knew what to say, I just get so awkward though.

I want to go to a garlic festival. Garlic is so good and good for you.

Ski, I'm going to go against the grain and suggest the saucy shrimp, especially if you like sun dried tomatoes.

Good morning loves!

Cfas we're technically already moved. We're in Triangle, VA right near Dumfries. It's a little south, but our big dogs are staying with one Lucas's coworkers and she lives in Stafford so we wanted to live near her. When we can buy a house again we'll probably end up in MD. We'll see though. That's a year from now.

Hi Manda!  Are the Pandas all settled in?

FutureMrsFezz

Hokay, you guys should all come down and go to the festival with me. 

josephwedding

Thanks all for the T&P, I'm just super glad mom will be getting better & is keeping positive. My mom is way cooler than me 

baystateapple

Man, Baby Panda gives me mad baby fever.

Hello Manda!

adamar15

Fezzy, if I wasn't running 13.1 miles on Sunday I totally would.

Gover generally I don't look when I'm knitting.  When I do Fair Isle, if it's two colors I don't have to look.  I still look down every so often, but I remember if the pattern is 4-1-4-1 or whatever.  I also put space markers at the beginning of every single section so if it's groups of 10 stitches, and there are 200+ stitches, if I'm at the wrong color/stitch at the end of the ten it's easier than realizing it way later, and reverse knitting 2 rows.  I HATE THAT. 

ETA: Good luck Adamar!!!! That is awesome!

mandapanda78

A garlic festival has my name written all over it.

baystateapple

Megbo, that's what I'm doing with the hat I'm making now!  It makes correcting mistakes so much easier!

<div>Awesome!!! Isn't it way easier? Do you have pictures? We should definitely swap patterns sometime.  </div><div>
</div><div>Or just get together and knit because we live kindaaaa close.</div><div>
</div><div>PS Thanks for making me want to knit again, I haven't all winter because I started a cable sweater for FI and messed up right away and I need to undo like 3 rows, and with 300 something stitches I wanted to rip my hair out.  I also HATE swatches.</div>

I'll be working in Old Town Alexandria.

I want to go to the Garlic Festival. Good luck at your race Adamar!

annakb8

MK, you are going to be SO CLOSE TO ME!!!! I'm so excited!

Morning. Cooper is an asshole. No one in our house slept last night because he just HAD to lay in the middle of the bed.

mkrupar

Yeah Anna & Cfas if you all want to help unload a POD tomorrow, the more the merrier. :-P :-)

July2012bride

Mmm...Garlic Festival

That sounds like my kind of place.  I'd have to make FI go with me and eat as much garlic if it was here though, so at least we both would be permeating garlic from our pores, and so he wouldn't be repulsed by the smell

mkrupar

Oh god Special I had a terrible night sleep last night. Apparently we're just not meant for air mattresses. The two we've had so far end up just deflating through the night. Last night was the worst. Thank god we've only got one more night with that stupid thing. I'll be so happy to have my bed back. I've been without it since October.

specialk84

Megbo, swatching is a necessary evil. Because I refused to do it, I once ended up with a sweater that could fit two people.
