hide and seek

missed my monday apparently...missed the rest of the week too apparently.  so what exactly is up with that?

i am working strictly on socks right now.  and prying myself off the wall... there are big boulders here not quiet little rocks for your pockets.  it is not very pretty.  but as with most things.. it will pass... it has to... there is no other option.

so i will continue to knit for sanity.. i will continue to listen to music for sanity.. and i promise to post some pictures soon...

the quote today is not from our man flint or his alter egos.. but.. it is so fitting .. i almost wish i could change the name of the blog to it..

...not one heartbeat do i forget.....

no... not one....

so, monday's it appears to be...

... the mists rise and it is monday again... i've not posted since last monday.. so maybe mondays it is.  Heaven knows there is not enough in the day-to-day to keep myself on tenterhooks, let alone a reading audience.

... knitting content - i have been in search of regia stretch in a discontinued color - #71 - which is a green - for a week now.   The person who team knit socks for me (machine knit the legs on antique knitting machine) got more pairs of legs out of the yarn i sent than i could accommodate with yarn for hand-knit feet.   so i've been emailing and scurrying looking for sufficient balls of this color to finish the legs in question - it seems sooooo wasteful to have to unravel a whole leg to make a foot... bottom line?  so far i have one skein here... one skein purchased from a store, one skein found on ravelry and purchased from a stash, 3/4 skein coming from the group (i can make a sock with 3/4) and two legs going begging.. but i am not done yet.. lol.. what is the difference between me and a rottweiler?  the rottie eventually gives up.

i've knit this week three pairs of "Sockies"  fingerless gloves for a gift for a friend's kids.  i have one more glove to do and the three pairs are done.  i'll snap them promise.

we have white all around.. and since it's been the news of the week in review.. i will leave it at that...

music? The fray have a new song... Say When ... thanks youtube is suppose, although you are on my last nerve deleting and muting some of my favorite fan videos.. i still like you found me a bit better than the new one.. but i do like it... 

a quote.. awwww geez.. a quote?

Whatever is lost can never be found...

yes sir yes sir...

... three bags full - well probably really 2 pairs full - but i have two pairs of soldier socks going out this week...

.. as for the rest.. do you miss me??? lol

okay - so it is January.. and people all over are doing this so i may as well do it too.. what did i read?  i read -OR had read to me by audio book -  in no particular order...  Re-read Outlander, Dragonfly in Amber, Voyager and Drums of Autumn, read Twilight, Eclipse, New Moon and Breaking Dawn (in whatever order they needed to be read in), read North and South by Gaskell, Re-read Pride and Prejudice,  re-read Wuthering Heights, read the Other Boelyn Girl by Gregory and The Lady Elizabeth by Weir, read The Knitting Circle by Ann Hood.. had The Lords of the North read to me but now i am reading Sword Song.. darn him.. can't he do THAT audio book too???   The Wallflower series by Kleypas, the last book by kathleen woodiwiss... 

there are others.. i will check.. lmao. 

its a new year

by two whole days and i didn't post... well now i have...been ill.. am ill... will live i suppose but don't much feel like sitting at the desktop....

... have scads of new memory in the computer.. have lots of stuff to do.. am i doing any of it? a clue.. no..

... have knit almost an entire pair of soldier socks since christmas... team knit of course but i have almost finished both feet. they will be a men's medium size in a green that i am not sure if they should need dying or not... but they are what i have and what i will work on until the team knit legs run out. then i will buy more yarn but not before. i want this yarn on soldiers' feet first.

music? i have not listened to much music over the past few days.. james taylor's auld lang syne is the only thing that comes to mind.. now.. will i remember how to make the link open in a new window/tab? hmm can an old dog REALLY be taught new tricks?*

a quote:   hmmm... a quote for the new year?  okay - i will be obvious... really obvious...

MI5- because that's what i am -MI5 -  I was MI5 when we married, MI5 all those years in prison and that is what i am now, MI5.

*mta:  yes i can hee hee
