My SP and some knitterly things

Well my KnittySP6 is awesome! She is a barrel of laughs...and I really thought she had pulled one over on me today! I was emailed the UPS tracking # and hadn't checked it until today when it wasn't on my doorstep upon arrival at home. It said...on the truck..called and spoke to a person...they said...on the truck..but I saw the words "reschedule" so I was a little nervous...Nice UPS lady said, they work until 7 pm...ok..so wait...5:30..nothing...6:00..nothing...6:30...nothing, panicking..wondered if neighbor or someone else got it..knew I couldn't check online for a few hours...(are you bored yet?) LOL!

So at 6:45 pm, I hear the truck..the man in brown has arrived. Now I don't want to look too eager..so I finish getting my dinner..he finally pops out of the truck and ...is rolling a car tire...YESSIREE a car tire! I thought..hmmm she has a really good sense of humor...YIKES! So he checked address, not the right one, phew! (now if it would have fit my vehicle..well....)He says, sorry! Bye....

I said, wait a minute..you HAVE a box on there for me..it says so online!!! He goes back in..minutes tick by...out he comes with a box with a fan on the outside! I am so happy to see the box I don't notice the fan..hmmm..ok..a little heavy though! So I commence to opening the box...and as you can see below..no fan...and no tire either! ;)

A really cool cast iron Sewing machine to add to my collection :)! 2 prs of socks ;), Bags, a Knitters dozen (cool ideas for my wool in there!), purse handles, beaded ribbon for bling on a purse, a mouse pad, lint roller (to go in my car!) bag of assorted clips (so needed!) 3 skeins of Noro Silk garden in purples..yummy(disguised in cookie tin and I did get a tin of real cookies too!) and a cool blue tube bag that is in use as we speak!! My card is so funny...from the Pickle Factory..."And your Secret Pal is.....you didn't really think I would tell you this soon did ya?

Well SP you are awesome! I love my goodies, even the excitement that went with getting them ;) Can't wait...1 more month to find out who you truly are!

Well the sock is going well! On the gusset and using a combo of ML and DPN's...yeah weird I know, but the cuff for me is easier on ML and the rest is easier on DPN's...until I get to my class this weekend...My closest LYS is having a sock class; 2 circs...it is 1 hr away...but you know it is something I want to learn better and quicker..and you know I have learned sewing, knitting and most of my quilting online or by books..sometimes it is nice to go to a class...it is 3 weeks long and I am on/call all those 3 weeks...please pager..do not go off!!

Kyoto (the sash, knit in the round)...I curse you...well I did last nite!! Attempted to cast on longtail (my fav. way!) 170 stitches...ran out of yarn, so tried to knit the last 30 on...harmph! wayy too tight! Frog and wait to get home to get larger needles...cast on..a little too much left over...cut and count...fall asleep for about an hour, needle by my side (told ya, sometimes my knitting puts me to sleep!) recounted, was good...Row 1 of pattern MC...seed stitch...cool..I can do that...start w/K end w/K...should have clued me in!! Row 2 CC, get halfway around...notice that my stitches are twisted...Now I know they weren't like that before!!! Lay it down..check again..yep...1st time ever!!!! FROGGGGGED! Put that cursed skein away to use at end if needed!!!!!!!!! Try new skein today...CO 170 w/little leftover...count 4 times before I get it right...knit 1 row...VBG! NO TWIST...put away for another day, I am wore out on this baby! (Being knit with knitpicks shine, which compared to wool, nice but like string...)

I'll sign off for now! Hope you all had an interesting day too! :)
