Following directions

posted Wednesday, 21 October 2009

Pattern instructions? I suck at following them. Always have to change things. Short row shaping. Eliminate garter or Rev St st. Always something.  

Follow a recipe? Pshaw! I made Paula Deane's Beef Macaroni last night, only, it wasn't anything like her recipe. Well, it had noodles, beef, her spices, and cheese. But nothing like her taste I am sure. More Italian.

KM asked if I wanted to do a KAL with our 2 skeins of Misti Alpaca Lace, I am sending her 2 of my 4. I would love to, only I suck at KAL's. I told her, I am the queen of joining, and the court jester at follow through.

Driving from here to there? Well, I will just forge my own path, thank you very much. No major roads if I can avoid them. Back roads have more beauty and character. Except if you are going to Daytona Beach. Just get me there quick!

So, do you follow directions? Are you a Maverick? Are you a Sheeple? Does it even matter? Probably not, it's just the thought that has come to my fuddled mind right now.

Can a person have too much antibiotics? In the past 5 months I have been on 3, 3!, different antibiotics. One for the past 5 months and the other two for the gum surgery and crown thingy I have had done. Will my body know how to function without them? And why can't the bladder one take care of the mouth issues? How does the medicine know where to go?

Fascinating stuff, you can't imagine what my mind thinks up.

And just so this post isn't a total waste. Have you seen these videos? They are hilarious!

Tomorrow I will have a photo of the felted Flower Pot hat. Suzy is chomping at the bit to see it felted, so I decided to not wait for the other 4 items to be knit before felting. But I should have waited for the 1st Wavy Flower hat since I am ready to decrease the crown on it. But I will see her at 10:00 this morning, so I caved. Also need to find the little charm I bought her to use as a stitch marker. It has the initial S. Now, where did I put those?

One more random thought. Niece's soccer championship game is tonight. At least it will be about 25 degrees warmer tonight than it was Saturday! So, 1 less layer should be sufficient tonight. Go Panthers!
