And working on Veronica’s Kimono sleeve.

It’s beautiful here. The morning cloud and fog cover is burning off. I’m a bit annoyed I didn’t bring any hot chocolate or herbal tea as I figured it would be too hot, and there was probably some up here anyway. Well, it ISN’T hot, and there ISN’T any up here, and I’ve wanted it TWICE so far. But it isn’t worth the drive into town (if you can call it a town), because I’m sure as soon as I put forth the effort, it will suddenly become hot, and will remain that way for the rest of the week.

And since I’m already complaining, (how ungrateful I am. I’m on vacation after all), I will tell you that there must be another skein of yarn at home somewhere for Veronica’s sweater, because it is now obvious that I don’t have enough with me to finish the sleeves. Dangit! And I KNOW I bought enough. I don’t remember seeing another skein haning around, but there HAS to be, because I bought enough for the size larger than I’m actually knitting. Of course, now that I say that, fear is setting in. Maybe I don’t have another skein. Crap. And I get to spend the next seven days worrying about it.

Finally, in what will hopefully be my last complaint, I forgot my ball winder. Now, I know I can always do it the old fashioned way, but I now own TWO ball winders, and I would like to USE them! I brought two new projects with me, in the optimistic view that I might just finish all my WIP’s and will still want to knit something. All 14 skeins of yarn are still in the hank. Plus, I have my spinning wheel here. And all of THAT yarn will be in the hank. And if the rest of my WIP’s are missing vital parts like Veronica’s Kimono is, (grumble, snort, stomp, gripe), I’ll be wanting those new projects.

Never fear. I have all of my beading stuff with me, and I have loads of stitch markers I was supposed to mail out by yesterday, that aren’t even made yet. (Sorry. I promise I’ll do it soon)! And another sweet woman who wants stitch markers that has been SO patient with me. (Janet, I’ll do yours at the same time, I swear).

Then there’s the 4 pounds of roving that came up with me and my wheel. You’d think I was staying for two months! But I really did want to tidy up and finish those WIP’s!

Talk to me. I’m quite isolated up here, and would love the emails/comments!
