First I’d like to thank everyone for their responses to my last post. The entire situation is very upsetting, I’m going to miss having Zoe in my life. Last night I was shifting through some knitting and found a blanket in progress for her and nearly cried. I might finish it and just mail it over to them.
Anyways, on to somewhat happier things.
I’m a little ashamed at how long it took me to sew 18 buttons onto 2 different sweaters (12 on one and 6 on the other) last night. Though having said that, I’d like to see what it’ll take to get these buttons to fall off. I have before and after pictures to share with you, I’ll post them once I get home. The sweaters both came with buttons that I can only describe as… wrong. Faux pearls on a tan one and dark tortoise-shell on a periwinkle blue? Um how about no?
In knitting news, well… I’ve got nothing. Except for a sock that’s nearly ready for the toe decreases and won’t match its mate because I lost the pattern. I checked at the hockey rink but it must have gotten thrown out and I haven’t been able to find it in local shops. If anyone sees Fiber Trends pattern AC36 – Helen’s Favorite Sock Pattern grab it for me and I will reward you muchly with stitch markers, a spiffy knitter charm bracelet, yarn, chocolate or possibly sexual favors. (I REALLY like that pattern)
This week’s knitting and reading goals:
1. Finish Scarf A – SnB cabled scarf pattern
2. Start and Finish Scarf B – Mistake Rib
3. Start Hooded Scarf – Spiffy pattern can be seen here!
4. Finish sock – With the unmatchy toe
5. Finish reading A Study in Scarlet, Part 2, The Country of the Saints
6. 2 Repeats of Beastly Blanket of Doom! (Henceforth known as the BBD)
No real pictures today so I offer you this instead:

I saw Lolly has knitted it - she might be able to get you a copy? I'll see if I can find one here.

Oh and caption: Oh my, we've left the mental floss at home again..
Caption: "You bitch! You SAID you weren't going to wear yours!"
I love Peevish's caption!
Can't help you with the pattern but if you look at the finished sock, I'll bet you can "read" your knitting. If you have a scanner and/or a decent pic I'll read it for you if you want.
Man, nothing can top Peeve's caption!!
Have a happy turkey day. :)
Have a great turkey day, sorry, I agree with Chris, Peeve's got the gold on this one. Have a great Thanksgiving.
