Butt-Load
I took a bit of a break from knitting. Don’t really know why but now I’m back into it and realize I pretty much love it more than any other hobby. I guess the reason is because I have a problem with finishing other things, whereas I almost always finish my knitting projects.
But now, since I’m always knitting, people have been putting in their “orders,” leaving me with a butt-load (yes, that’s right, BUTT-load not boat-load) of stuff to complete! My stepson wants a purple, green and yellow poncho. I still owe Ford a black and red scarf. My grandmother suggested I make her a funny red hat for her special “Ladies’ Club.” Christina gave me this book which has sooooo many cute styles I want for myself. My stepmother’s birthday is next Saturday and I’m making her a little sump’ sump’…and I’m still trying to find a cute sweater pattern for Squid.
All this and I still managed to bust this doggy sweater out for my TOTALLY unappreciative pug. Actually, he hated it so much he tried to bite me when I attempted to slip it over his fat pug self. So much for the cute “I’m a fat pug in a purple sweater” picture I planned on posting.
Woah. That sentence had major “P” alliteration and I didn’t even try!

Aaah, knitting has lured you back in… Welcome back to the dark side! Love the sweater and so wish we could see it on the pug!

Help me, I’ve lost my knitting passion and I don’t know how to find it again!
How can I rekindle?

Dang, you’re talented! The only thing I ever manage to finish are dish cloths, and I haven’t even done any of those for a couple years. Great job!

So funny. I can’t knit worth a damn. My aunt tried to teach me to crochet but I’m so challenged I just didn’t get it.
Does this mean if I ask for a sweater for my 100lb mutt you wouldn’t do it ?

I loved your article about Garage Sales and know excatly how you felt after going to the trouble of having to set one up to make a few dollars to have people not even stop but maybe they did not see any thing they really wanted. I used to feel that way but now I do drive by and if I can see that the particular thing I am looking for isn’t on a table or there I do not stop. So considfer the older people may not like to just get in and out of their cars because they hurt a lot with old age. Love your articles. Expecially the one ones on the hair cut and the remembering of your grandfather.

[…] I just remembered I have three days now to finish my stepson’s poncho. Ouch. I am crazy sick right now, though, so if I don’t get it done, at least I have an excuse. But, really, I need to get it done. It was supposed to be done by Christmas, and before that…last summer. He’ll think I am the biggest loser if I don’t have it by Tuesday! And I can’t have that. […]
