Land o' Humid Lakes

So here I am in Minnesota, Land of a Thousand Lakes and Land of a Million Mosquitos. Ha! I think I managed a bite on my earlobe. ouch.

I did take my advice about knitting on the plane on the way here and I highly recommend to anyone who is flying and wants to knit........use your short knitting needles or circulars! Way way easy! I only poked my neighbor dude like twice during a 4 hour flight. Poor guy. I did manage to wake him up out of a dead sleep. Once when the short needle found its way over to jab him and at least twice when my yarn went flying out of my lap and I scrambled to get it off the floor. ha! Funny stuff.

The cool thing is that I managed to knit up two (yep, count 'em, 2, two, dos, or however you spell it?) wristbands. Stripy pink(duh?) cool looking wristbands. I have not seamed them up yet as if you know me, you know I abhore finishing. But I will. I showed them to my 19 year old uber fashionable niece who thought they were tres cool. So that's a good sign. I used these two yarns and am very thrilled with the result.
Cascade Pearls in the pink 3664 color and the other stripe in the Sirdar Sorrento in Party Pink.
For now, you will have to picture it in your mind but I might have a camera later!!!!!

She Wore an Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot KNITKINI
For amazing knit-kini's ....I discovered Ashley Paige last night. Look at the Spring 2004 collection. I was inspired enough to write her an email and she even wrote back to me! How cool is that?

But be forewarned, the models will make you feel fat. Very fat. ;-)

Mom and Dad
Well, life is mellow here in Minnesota. I've got lots of work to do and am having a hard time getting it done. Plans to purchase a digital camera are getting serious which you KNOW would make this here blog come to life in such a great way. Then there's the websites I am building. I've got to finish up all the day job garbagio and then, maybe, just maybe I can squeeze in some time on the cyber jobs. Egads.

My dad is still hanging in there. It's his 78th birthday on Friday, June 11th. He has a great sense of humor, very dry and still has me laughing. My mom is so wonderfully sincere and loving and PATIENT, it never ceases to amaze me. I played her some tracks from the Triplettes De Belleville cd and she loved them, of course. I want her to see the film and brought it with me. Hopefully, she will feel well enough to view it.

Missing the Man and the Gang
I must admit, I feel so happy in my life at home. I miss my Bam and I will miss my knit hang at the Stitch Cafe tonight. If any of you lot read this,.............I'm there in spirit!
