Probably why it came out just fine. If I don&#8217;t know it&#8217;s impossible I won&#8217;t know I can&#8217;t do it.  I started the same way with knitting. It Is My Way.<\/p>\n<p>And I think the placemats came out pretty well, all things considered. I would NEVER have chosen that color on my own, but like I said&#8230;I had cones lying around, so&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Now (again, becasue I&#8217;m an idiot) I&#8217;m warping 22 epi crochet cotton into a double sleyed <a href=\"http:\/\/handwoven-thoughts.com\/wp\/2006\/05\/21\/huck-lace-hand-towels\/\">Huck Lace<\/a> table runner.<\/p>\n<p>Um.<br \/>We&#8217;ll see.<\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s where I&#8217;ve been. I&#8217;ve actually had to organize my nights, and I try to weave only when Andrew&#8217;s out of town because it&#8217;s (a) not silent and (b) not something I can do on the couch and, you know, I kinda like being near him.<\/p>\n<p>On the knitting side of my life I&#8217;m fixing the length of my &#8220;Springtime in Paris&#8221; socks from the <a href=\"http:\/\/groups.yahoo.com\/group\/Six_Sox_Knitalong\/\">Six Sox KAL<\/a>.  I love these socks. I love that they&#8217;re <a href=\"http:\/\/www.soysilk.com\/tofutsies.html\">Tofutsies<\/a> yarn. I hate that they&#8217;re too big. So the night I started Harry Potter x7, I did a little experiment and tried pulling the toe out to see if just stretching the sock would make it fit better.<\/p>\n<p>It did.<\/p>\n<p>So now I&#8217;ve inserted dpns, ripped out the toe of one of the socks down to the dpn, and am reknitting the toe. I&#8217;m already excited.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also started on my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.knitty.com\/issuewinter05\/PATTpomatomus.html\">Pomotomous<\/a> sock again. I think the beast will last forever.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also GOT to work more on <a href=\"http:\/\/groups.yahoo.com\/group\/mysterystole3\/\">MS#3<\/a>. Sigh.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and then there&#8217;s the day job. And soon there will be homeschooling too.<\/p>\n<p>And the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/081091493X\/?tag=crapofocrwhlo-20\">Philosopher<\/a> Podcast that&#8217;s taken me forever to edit. Because I laughed too much. A good reason to edit, but also a good time.<\/p>\n<p>Soon.<\/p>\n<p>Off to that day job.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Where have I been?Warping.
