Whoa

Knitting on the Stranded In Colorwork project is coming right along(that color is bad). I am ready to add steek sts for the arms. In reading through the pattern it would seem they want me to knit the piece flat when I get to the neckline. I am trying to figure a way to avoid that and just steek the neck too. But I don't think I will go that far. I don't think I will be as happy with the finished product. But then again I hate to stair step anything and that's how they do the neckline. Decisions, decisions, Any idea how to avoid that? 

And in the effort to keep things organized I am failing. Remember what my sitting room knitting spot looked like recently? Well, it sure doesn't look like that now. Eek! OK, there are about 3 new things hanging around that pile. Not necessarily cast on, but loitering. Oy! And to show I am not doing any better on the other side of the sitting room, here is the state of the computer desk. What's going on? We got rid of all the computer equipment and picked up a lot of junk. 

Now, what else? Blog-City was quick in repairing the problem, they are good people! So the photo capability I was missing is back, but the photo capability I lost by switching to Mackie (my Mac's name) is still lost. I will figure out what to do eventually. 

One of the things lingering in my pile, just waiting for a US9 40" circ, is the Moebius project. I love the yarn combo, 220 Superwash and Ritratto. I am hoping they give me the gauge needed. Not looking forward to the endless Moss st. Ick! But I guess I will have to. Not sure if there is another st pattern I might want to sub in. I guess I could go through the stitch books and find something that looks good on both sides? Or not. I guess it's all in how much I want to do, or just how ittle I want to change.  

OK, time to take it easy and maybe knit, probably not. I spent the afternoon shopping with my mom and I am tired! I am so not in shape! Not used to endless walking and standing. I am more into walk in, get what I need, leave. But I got a pair of pants for my last birthday gift, so it was worth it. Got a black pair from Mom, bought a brown pair for myself and a lovely limey green, ribbed, fine gauge zip sweater. Last night I got 3 lovely scarves from my birthday friend. So I think the birthday is now over. No more expected presents. Boo hoo. Why can't we have a birthday every month? 

Blessings: All that the world has to offer. Just being wise enough to choose what will be of benefit to my family is the issue.
