We got there at around 7:30 in the morning *yawn* because I had to take Christine to work cause her car died......and I needed my car in order to be able to transport Mr. Riley. Thank God Bonnie made some coffee...although I gotta tell ya I have become a lightweight coffee drinker cause I was FLYING on the java she made. Homegirl is now a pansy and is used to weaker stuff. LOL She also graciously made me some wonderful breakfast so that I would not fly off into outerspace with empty tummy on "superjava". It was YUMMY!
I was surprised with some really cool gifts - a book called "Knitting Rules" which is not only really informative and stress relieving from a "it's only string" standpoint - it is hilarious! There is nothing snobby about the author - Stephanie Pearl-Mcphee; in fact, she is a very self-deprecating down to earth soul. I am so much more relaxed (well so far anyway) after reading that how I have felt and am feeling about my new hobby/lifestyle is NOT bizarre. Bonnie also gave me a really cute cat bracelet that is a row counter! And some yarn from her HUGE stash! She told me she had a "store" but I had no idea just how true that statement was! Oh and she also gave me a darning needle which is an essential item to have it my knitting tool kit.
I am almost finished with my newest project which is also my most courageous endeavor yet - A beret! I am going to try and finish it in my class today and if I do I will get terry to take some pictures with me wearing it. The most recent project I finished is a CA facecloth -0 which has the outline of the state and the letters CA on it....I think I may have boo-booed a little on the "C" but no big deal...... so here it is......
I am so excited and still quite surprised at my ability to do this.....
ok well I need to go get ready so I can go to class shortly.
Later.......................
