nothing like a bronchial infection to slay you and make you feel CRUDDY. i shouldve know when i was crying thru out GOTTERDAMERUNG on saturday while listening on the radio. i usually cry when i am very tired or getting sick or right before that "time of the month" (still). and i couldnt eat anything - you know when nothing sounds good to eat except like yogurt and m&ms (wierd)
anyway, sunday i spent the day watching some of the news and other shows i have 'dvr-ed" - its my cable company's version of TIVO and then woke up monday with a fever and the desire to not move at all.
so that lasted thru tuesday - and today i dragged myself in to work - still not 100% more like 70%... but here i am 650 pm ... on my way out finally - it sometimes doesnt pay to be sick cause of the mess you find when you get back.
sigh.
so tonight i am going to watch at least the first one of these great movies on TCM..
8:00pm Doctor Zhivago (1965) ***+ (PG13), CC, DVS
11:30pm The Bridge on the River Kwai.... **** (PG)
2:30am Lawrence of Arabia (1962) **** (PG), CC
i'm a sucker for Omar Sharif... sigh sigh.
anyway - FEAR NOT there is knitting content here. i was able to get a substantial number of inches done on the baby aran blanket for mr walter, my nephew - whose mom knows now since she read the blog! - and ripped out and added more inches to a baby blanket for a colleague - have to get that finished by friday oops - and started a baby sweater for another colleague - whose second boy was born on saturday. but that one can be by next week sometime.
the blanket is in Periwinkle Brown Sheep Lambs Pride (i love this yarn - bought on ebay). and is in the Cat's Paw shetland lace pattern from one of the Barbara Walker pattern books (two i think) with a garter stitch border - simple simple but looks really nice.
more about the sweater tomorrow - i need to get home....
toodles

been a long time...
ok. i know.. its been awhile - i keep thinking i have to make these gorgeous entries like wendy over at http://wendyknits.net/ so ive not been doing it and work has been crazy and ... well, its been a rough winter.
but its SPRING finally and i have new contacts (and new *expensive* glasses) and new cats - a mother and her baby - Cordelia and Katie - and well, things seem to be better in the spring no matter how bad your dayjob is. ;o
this week, to take care of my duties as gardener, i ordered a ton of rose food and need to order mulch and bulbs. the clematis is growing like a weed and the roses are all leafing out and growing like mad - i gave them old very DRASTIC pruning - march 15th and they are responding like crazy. if this new rose food is as good as it purports i should have roses galore this summer! fingers crossed.
over on wendyknits- she is speaking of commuter knitting - so here's my story for the day - as i got a RARE seat on the # 4 this morning, i pulled out my knitting - the first three inches of a baby aran blanket for my latest nephew. its on 20" circs and is a LOT of stitches.
SO a woman sits down to the left of me and looks at my knitting and says - oh is that a hat? (for a giant maybe!) but i was nice and explained it was a baby blanket.. that was however the extent of her interest which was fine as i wanted to concentrate on the cables as it was the first setup row.
i am in awe of wendy - the poncho she is making looks so lovely - but i wonder how it will be on a slightly zaftig person? maybe i could make them for my sisters' bdays this year - i have four! and its always hard to figure out what to get/make for them.
i have been getting home way too late this week and really miss knitting - i wanted to stay on the train this morning and knit all the way til the end of the line. but saturday is the final Texaco Sponsored Metropolitan Opera broadcast and its GOTTERDAMERUNG - the final opera in Wagner's RING Cycle... so i plan to sit and knit for all 6 hours.. should be able to get a lot done... and of course the cats will be thrilled that i will be home. Cordelia has been attacking my leg each morning this week as i am getting dressed - i had two concerts, an opera and i stayed late at the office on wed.. whew, i am looking forward to Britcoms and knitting tonight!
so to bring a little fun to this post - here's a photo of my nephew - who will be moving to the NY area in july!

ok so i imagine anyone who ever read this blog (all two of you) gave up a long time ago.
well, i've decided its time to start up again. mostly cause i'm knitting almost daily now and i'm starting to teach some other knitters. and i'm always inspired by many other blogs - wendy's (of course) and curlnsandpurlsnyc and chic knits among the ones i read daily... not that i have a digital camera yet - but maybe soon.
anywho, between now and the weekend i'll try to catch up on my knitting life...such as it was... this past year. basically i worked way too much last year and, well, let's just say it didn't pay off. so "less is more" is my new motto regarding worklife.
here's a tidbit of knitting news - there has been a change in my knitting group at work - instead of after work (its way too cold this winter in nyc to stay late), we are starting to meet at lunch time - and it seems to be much more popular. although way too short for my liking, but, with my new motto of taking lunch every day - any time is knitting time is fine by me.
ok off to grab a bite and then to the New York City Ballet for the Centennial Birthday celebration of Balanchine!

oi vey its been too long - something about the turning into spring here in the north - its seems like such an upheaval - with rain and wind and dark cloudy days and then a day or two of sun and promise of warm weather and then back to the wind and rain and clouds... this goes back and forth for weeks - - - it really takes a toil on me. i think i am much more sensitive to the weather than i realize.
work has heated up to a stressful level - lots of angst and tension and - well, lets just say i was at the office very late three nights last week (like midnight including friday)... and although the weekend was really gorgeous i was exhausted. and enjoyed it thru my windows - of course i had done my garden winter clean up last weekend in the cold and wind and wet - but it was nice to know that as i was tired i wasnt remorseful about not working in the garden - its a grand feeling to look out at my little garden plot (its only 80 square feet) and see it all clean and laid down with mulch and all the roses pruned nicely (like haircuts ) and lovely little green and red leaves bursting on the rose canes and the gorgeous red peony buds poking up thru the mulch in such a hurry to come up. and the few lillies that survived the drought poking too.
so today and this week i MUST plan my orders - at least the summer bulbs - i once again didnt order any spring bulbs - i was working way too much last fall and didnt get anything in. but next year... tulips and croci and hyacinths i swear!
anyway i love lillies and would have a whole garden of them if i could - but i love phlox and snapdragons and sweet willilam and foxglove and delphs and , well the list is way too long for a little plot such as mine. so i have to be judicious and order three of this and three of that and ....
i do get to order a new rose as i have decided to get another rose pillar and put another climbing rose on it - this one will be taller and willl have some gorgeous pink climber - i just have to find one - i could also have hundreds of roses if i had the room.
ok more later

the knitting finger moves...
hmm another week flies by....
mainly i dont post enough cause i only have a laptop and a dialup connection at home and well, after working all day in an IS (computer dept) when i get home (finally - usualy 7-8 pm) all i want to do is knit - something non-computer related and with the satisfaction of seeing immediate results. its like when i was studying piano and practicing 4-5 hours a day and working at night, i became a fiendish baker - baking all the time - bringing in goodies to work and to my teacher (who gave me extra time so i felt it was some small compensation) anyway - she said i baked to have a "result" in my day - since practicing and playing the piano is a long term process.
how i got to IS from music - dont ask. (and there are a few other twists in between).
anyway
yesterday i heard from the wonderous meg at Schoolhouse Press that the Frost JACKET book AND the republished A History of Hand Knitting by Richard Rutt are BOTH on their way in the mail.... ooooohhhhh i can not wait.
to quote Meg - "I was excited about the idea even before the publisher asked me to write the foreword. Am I allowed to quote myself?: What a useful and welcome book this is. At present we are happily awash in scores of books about knitting techniques and garment design, but relatively lacking in information about the origins of our craft. The knowledge herein offers the historical continuity necessary to provide a solid foundation for our ever-growing knitting community." see more on her New Books page.
i have been working on the Aran Cardigan i am designing (as i go)/knitting for my nephew. i am at the point where i need to decide to do something with the sleeves - either STEEK or split off the front and the back and proceed on them separately. i am also waiting on the total length of the cardigan (hopefully my sister will get it tonight). i hope i can get it cause its about 10 inches long right now and i just finished one of the valentine heart patterns so it would be a good place to steek or split.
i am really thinking i will steek the sleeves - i am already steeking the front of the cardigan - even tho i am making this in COTTON FLEECE. i have steeked in wool and it was fine. cotton will be another thing - but well, i am nothing if not adventurous. but for now i need to wait until later to get the length so i can figure out when to do this steek.
i decided to re read the Elizabeth Zimmerman books - so on the subway tonight you will see me reading "Knitting Around".
onward

ok so its been another crazy week... i meant to post over the weekend and yesterday - my job requires a lot of admin work for the computer systems of the law firm at which i work and i monitor the backups for all the servers... 80+ so each day i spend about an hour or so dealing with the admin of the backups.... then there are other problems which creep in - anyway, this is all to say that i meant to post yesterday and didnt - it was a choice of going home at 630 or staying even later... i went home.
a reader commented that i should check out CBC - i think i will - i keep forgetting about it in my enthusiasm for the BBC...so i will try it today.
on to knitting stuff -
(i KNOW i need a digital camera...i am searching...)
so last night, based on the latest measurements of my nephew, i FROGGEd the little red cardigan i knit last summer and fall and which i never sewed the buttons on - that'll teach me right? so now i am starting a larger size of the same cardigan - its of my own design - out of Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece - Barn Red - its full of cables and i loved designing and knitting it the first time - so this time will be easier... i might even write down what i do. it was a little depressing to rip it out but i am looking forward to reknitting it in a size that i hope he can wear for at least a year or so.
his chest is 21" now and i am thinking of making the circumference 25" so that it will fit over clothes and last a bit more than a few months.
i tried to stay up and cast on but i was pooped by the time i had frogged and rewound the yarn = while listening to the BBC news on the war. so i cast on on the subway this morning.
warning warning rant ahead
why oh why is it that people feel they have the right to SPREAD out (including their legs) over more than one seat on the subway DURING RUSH HOUR!!!!??? i have gotten really aggressive and like this morning, will sit or actually perch on whatever open inches i see - usually people ignore you but this morning the woman on one side of me engaged in not-so-sublte but passive-aggressive behaviour by pushing her left leg against my right leg - i just sat there and pretended i didnt feel anything and prayed (yes, prayer is very useful at times like these for me) and after about 5 minutes or so, she stopped.
someday i am going to say = "and did you remember to pay for the two seats you are taking up?" but i would probably get shot, right?
ARGH
ok, rant over.
am itching to start one of the Alice Starmore sweaters for me... let me say i have only worked on the Seaweed Stole of AS's designs so far - i have the kit for both bags (Thistle Bag and Heart Bag) i have NOT knitted a sweater yet - but i LOVE LOVE LOVE cables and i think i know enough about how to adjust my gauge and handle cables and sweater construction etc.. so i just may have to plunge in and start something now in hopes that i can finish it and be able to wear it in the fall - when it will be cold again aroundabouts here in nyc.
so here's the ones i am thinking of choosing for my first AS sweater... (out of the hundred or so that i have on my wish list).
Maidenhair Cardigan
Irish Moss
Fulmar
All these designs are at VIRTUAL YARNS
NAYY - just a very appreciative customer.
i will be pondering this for a few days and will report back as to what i decide. comments, suggestions, etc welcome!
happy knitting!

war and knitting
this is a big topic - and i wont even begin to tackle it here. suffice it to say that
1) i am a news junkie
2) bbc has the best unbiased news coverage
3) knitting is great for calming one down during hours of war coverage
so what did you knit last night while watching the news?? (come on, own up, you did watch didnt you?)
Seaweed Stole
as i dozed on the sofa off and on all night long - with the BBC News on one of the local public tv stations - i worked on a stole designed by Alice Starmore
i hadnt worked on this in months and months - its out of her new yarn and in a gorgeous color -Clover
interestingly when i first got this pattern and yarn - last fall/winter - i had a really hard time working the pattern cause i wasnt used to intricate lace patterns - so it was very slow going - checking each row (there are 6 pattern rows each different with the first and last five stitches different from the repeating pattern of the row) as i went along
however! last night and early this morning i realized that i was starting to "read my knitting" and was memorizing the pattern for each row - at least for the row, if not remembering it after just doing one repeat on a row while checking against the card... woohoo! now i cant sit down right now and rewrite the pattern (probably should try that to really memorize it) but its going a bit faster than a year ago. i find it encouraging to see improvement like this in my personal life.
check out Alice's website
virtual yarns
its full of GORGEOUS patterns and yarns and stories about life in the hebrides isles... sounds like heaven to me! i am trying to justify a trip to scotland and the hebrides islands... anyone need some computer consulting work ?
keep knitting!

well its 8 pm on wednesday march 19th... are we at war yet?
this wont be a political blog entry - but please read Maureen Dowd and Tom Friedman in today's NYTIMES.
may the Lord above help us all.
ok, knitting news
its been really busy at work - i know, i am tired of writing it too. and i dont even know if this will get on the site cause blogger.com is down tonight...
got new measurements for my nephew and so can continue on with the cotton fleece aran pullover. have only the end of the first sleeve and the second sleeve to finish on the wool version of the same design.
spent a couple of nights drooling over older magazines and trying to figure out a sweater pattern for me... but i may wait til i get the new Jean Frost Jacket book and do one of them.
spent a very productive sunday two weeks ago reorganizing the bags of stash into a corner (from the end of the coffee table right in the middle of the living room)... now i am on the quest to find some pretty storage baskets with LIDS that dont cost 100.00 a piece. i keep meaning to look at work where its fast connection but i have been really busy... ok ok.
ok i need to run now... more later
