boo for lack of internet on weekends.

today I’m supposed to be getting my match for the CASP2 over at the knittyboards. no word yet on who I get to spoil on the cheap. then tomorrow, sign ups begin for the what’s your sign? Leo’s ought be worshiped summer fling SP (also at the knittyboards). *sigh* I will find a way to get online tomorrow. ooh, I need to go get some books from the library. hopefully they’re open tomorrow. then my CASP won’t realize that they’ve been neglected and automatically assume I’m the one doing the neglecting.

in other news, I went to the Saint Paul City Ballet’s St Cloud Gala last night. because my Irish dance school was invited to dance there. and they did a beautious job. but really, it was about the ballet dancers. and they were pretty good. the pianist though. omg! he played Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue and was amazing. even more amazing - he was 11 years old! I swear, no one in the piano recitals I endured was in as a kid played that well. that boy has talent. (though I would have preferred he played something that didn’t send visions of airplanes and clouds into my mind. damned 80s/90s advertising. which airline was that?)

I’m taking a break from the socks at the moment. they are travelling with me though, so they might yet get worked on tonight. we’ll see. anywho, I’m currently working on the steering wheel cover for the Jetta. my Saturn was purple, and my fav color is purple, so naturally, I bought purple yarn to make it. now, the Jetta, nice as it is, is teal. I’m still making it in purple (though wondering if I should have gone for teal. ah, well, the purple will match the dash lights). I’ve got about 7″ of glorious garter stitch worked since 6:15am (there’d be more if I could type and knit at the same time. alas, I cannot.) I like knitting on larger needles (if it were a sock, I’d have most of the foot done. more details: it’s based on the pattern in the SnBN book (though I don’t actually have the book, so I’ll be faking it. how hard can it be though, honestly?). using Paton’s Allure (think that’s the pattern yarn too). 5″ wide (CO 16 sts) on size 10.5 bamboo. might be done by the time I’m back to work on Tuesday. ooh, wouldn’t that be nice. I could use a FO about now.
