Knitting Therapy

I'm knitting again. Same 'ol same 'ol. It's been keeping me sane. I tried doing some wire work. I couldn't get it to do what I wanted it to. I spent a few days uploading to my ravelry page. Geeze that's addicting. I actually spent an evening photographing my stash. On one hand it was fun. On the other hand it's embarrassing. I was taking pictures of YARN. I still have to post my hand spun assortment. That's going to take some time. I was discussing with a customer today the fact that people in low tech crafts like knitting and crochet and spinning and all that use the high tech information superhighway to discuss their low tech hobbies. It's cool!

I was toying with working on Thanksgiving but the idea of having a day off over ruled. The Job is turning into a job so I cherish my off time. My world is a little upside down right now. The worse things get the better off I will be, but if they get better instead of worse then that would be bad. I guess that explains a lot.

The fish is doing much better. While I was at SOAR he had decided to jump out of his tank and flop around on the floor. He's big enough that my husband heard the thumping and rescued him and put him back. He was a little torn up but OK. A few days later his food got lodged behind some driftwood in his tank and he wore a spot on the end of his nose off. It was down to the cartilage and very scary. We started giving him some wound treatment in his water and he started to develop these bubble like blisters. I did some research on the condition and found that it was deadly and needed to be treated ASAP. So we did what the websites recommended and removed plants and supped up the bubbler to aerate the water and he's healing fine. His fat belly is all better, the wounds on his tail are gone and his nose is almost back to normal. In a few more weeks he'll be 100%. I raised him from a 2 1/2 inch fishy who survived two fire evacuations, algae bloom and now this. He's about 14 inches now. His tail fin is bigger now than he was when I got him.

My sister blogged about me.. I blogged right back at her. There we go again with the information superhighway.

I'm going to sign off I want to knit a few more rows before casting on some Z's. I haven't been sleeping well. Maybe I should try felting some Z's. I'd count sheep but I would be ogling fleeces instead of resting.

My Secret Plan for World Domination

If I told you it wouldn't be secret. However you will know it when it happens because you will start seeing my name everywhere and I won't be the only person typing it.

I carded 50 grams of a lovely Merino/ Tussah blend in a shimmering green this past weekend then spun it up into a lovely yarn. This upcoming weekend, if I can find that colorful blend I got in the grab bag at soar, I'm going to spin it up in a wolf style yarn and maybe throw in some Wensleydale locks and a spit or two of leftovers. It will be a true novelty yarn. I have been redesigning the popular Wrap & Roll jewelery designs that have become popular in the fiber crowds and am planning my own version that I think will take the concept up a notch. I need some new cutting edge stuff for Tucson which is coming up fast in 12 weeks and counting. Last year I had my trinket jewelery. I have some enamel demons to exercise and I will be rocking the viking chain. I want to do some PMC focal beads and maybe some charms.

Ok I've told you too much. No really! You know how superstitious I am! That and it's 1:30am and I need to be up tomorrow for work. I really need to drag my @$$ out of the house tomorrow after work and go grocery shopping and send off a FedEx package.

Well time to cast some zzzz
