This and That 2008

I just about gave up on this blog thing, but then this weekend I spent some time reading some knitting blogs and while I was on blogger I decided to post. No guarantee that I'll keep it up.
Happy New Year! Mine began with a car wreck. Some lady wanted to see the price of gas at the pump and turned left into my car and crunched the front end. It is waiting for an appraiser to look at it, so I am driving a rental-a Pontiac Vibe. I miss my car. I need to stop by the lot and get my sunglasses and garage door opener. Who thinks of those things while waiting for the tow truck?

This weekend I finished the body of the christening bunting I am making for my nephew and his wife's new baby. My poor left thumb is hurting. I think it is arthritis, but the doctor didn't think so. I'm going to bug him again about it. Anyway, I had to finally give it a rest so downloaded some video podcasts on knitting and Alaska, and ended up here.

I also have a Debbie Bliss blanket pattern on my knitting needles for Owen. It is in cashmerino in the color Rain, and is so nice to work with. I found some more outfits on sale at Penney's today for Owen. Am getting quite a few things. Enough to fill up 2 dresser drawers. I don't plan on quitting either. It is such fun.

Scott is working on my computer to upgrade it. I've been without it for a week and I must say, that I've read more, knit more and watched more tv. Not a bad thing.

Still haven't booked the Alaska trip. It is so confusing. I just need to make a decision and do it.

All for now. More reading to do. Will try to post more as if anyone cares.
