midweek - wednesday

did you hear about the dog who got caught on the ice in the river? read about it i imagine the owners are embarassed and jubilant at the same time.

not much knitting knews - after shoveling the walkway to the sidewalk on tuesday so i could get out the front door and get to work - and then schlepping in - it was a busy day so i kept falling asleep last night while knitting - only about an inch left on the second sleeve and then just sewing them on to the body and getting buttons for the top and then FO!!!!

as for the nephew sweater - i need to finish the top of the front and then do the two sleeves - i am hoping i have enough yarn left..

tonight was the Third meeting of the knitting group at my job - i was sure the snow and weather would affect the number of attendees and it did - six brave souls came - two rsvpd. i am really liking the core group of gals who are showing up - its a nice mix of expert and fairly new knitter and returning knitter. i am pushing buying knitting magazines and zimmerman books and the new melville book - you'd think i get commission - of course i started yet another version of the aran pullover for my nephew - this time in Mission Falls 1824 cotton (ebay- pale green) - i actually knit a swatch (!!) well, as moderator of the group i need to practice what i preach - at least while i am there... ;o
i am still surprised when two hours is up - i could stay longer but we all need to get home and come back to work again... sigh.

i am finishing up work and then off home to catch my weekly fix of EASTENDERS . (the station which carries it in my area is about four YEARS behind what is currently running in england - so NO HINTs about what is happening over there, right? i have been tempted to watch the weekly Ominbus on bbc america on saturdays (now that i am not working weekends) but i have resisted temptation so far... how? because the metropolitan opera is broadcasting during the same time!! but once that ends... well, we may weaken...

ok time to dash off home. happy knitting!
