Paranoia?

Okay, I have indulged in a few conspiracy theories in my life, but wondering why someone is visiting a site repeatedly would seem a little out there. There are sites that I visit everyday, and I do not know anyone on the net. Those are the people who post everyday, and do not have kids like myself usually. This means that they they usually have lots of progress to show, and I live through them vicariously. It has been a while since I left a post on anyone's blog, and I don't do it often because I DO NOT KNOW ANYONE. Call me shy, but if I remark on something to someone, and I do not get a response, I am not going to leave another remark. And since it has happened so many times, I figure forget the rude folks. Some people need to get over themselves. I have said my piece, thank you so much, there will be happier times later.

I've been bad, verry, verrrrrry bad........


okay, I fell off of the project spectrum bandwagon. I am doing things all out of sorts, and when I do do something that goes in the guidelines, I rip it out because I don't like it. I tried to knit a hat and sweater from the mission falls book of knitting for kids and I used a different yarn and of course it turned out nothing like what I thought it would. But, I submit that it is not all my fault. The yarn that I used was a silk and wool blend by elsbeth lavold, (I think I butchered that), But the label said that it was for a size 6 needle and before I balled it, I thought that was a good estimate. After though, I knew it was iffy, and after I knit it up, Total Disaster. That yarn is best suited for a size 4 needle. If not smaller. And not only that, but the lady in the shop was right, it seems to have no life to the yarn. It is very limp and not plump. I do not know now what I will use it for considering it cost so much. It was $8 something a ball. Which to some people, is not so much.
In knew news I have been working on a raglan toddler sweater knit from the top down in yellow and grey stripes. I will post more pictures later.
