FO and UFO*

Here's the sock I just finished knitting:



And the blanket I'm still knitting:


*Knit-speak for "finished object" and "unfinished object."

Nice sock! I've just gotten into them, too. But the blankie really takes the cake - so cute! Where did you get the pattern?

Ladypeter - thanks! The sock was DK weight so I didn't have to go blind :) The blanket pattern is actually from the Lion Brand website. http://cache.lionbrand.com/patterns/60241.html

Suzy - isn't it cozy?

Good think you explained the FO and UFO- I thought you were trying to offend me.

;)

p.s. that blanket looks so soft!

Ummm... is there a second sock in the works??

And what is that your foot is resting upon?

Love that you show us your knitting! It makes me want to learn... : )

There is indeed! I started it right away so I wouldn't fall victim to one-sock syndrome.

My foot is resting on an air mattress...sometimes guests sleep there.

UFO - Unfinished object is better than unidetified furry object.

Edgar (after Poe)? Enrique (You're a Lucille Ball fan, right?)?

Cute sock! Also, I like the air mattress. I first thought it was a couch or ottomon - but then I read the comment and found out it was an AM (I thought I would keep with the acronym theme!).

Caro - thanks!

BC - believe it or not, I've never seen an I Love Lucy episode all the way through. And the baby's name is much more pedestrian than your guesses ;)

Elsa - that's very consistent of you :)

I told you my outrageous guesses are for my entertainment, and possibly yours.

I have a good idea what E is, but don't want to say it yet... I still have some silly 'E' names yet.

I wonder if you used Ephraim yet?

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t

The return of Rudolph

Rudolph is our small furry friend, whom I've never seen. He visited the kitchen last night while D was up late. I know this because: 1) A large sonic device is plugged in right in front of the crack between the oven and the wall. The sonic devices in the living room have kept Rudolph away from there, his previous hideaway. Apparently the cracks between appliances and the wall are harder to reach. 2) The mop has been moved from the hall closet to the kitchen closet. This means D tried to capture Rudolph. 3) A turtle magnet I haven't seen in a while is now on the fridge. That means it fell behind the oven and D found it during his interactions with Rudolph. (I am praying hard that Rudolph is a boy, since we don't want to find many small Rudolphs.) What makes me feel better about this whole thing is that mice are apparently everywhere this winter; even my brother has had problems with them. And this little guy seems to stay behind the oven and only appears around 4 am (only D

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.
