Bye for now.
I'm going to let this blog go. I've embarked on another and I'm really committed to that one.
If you're interested in knowing where I've gone, email me and I'll let you know. Otherwise, it's been great getting to know you all. As always, happy knitting.

I just messed up on a hat that I was making for my son. Yeah, it fits fine. It's just ugly as all get out. I used a strand of crayola-colored merino (fingering weight, kind of predominately dark color way)with a strand of Lion Brand chunky yarn in black. Then I used a rib pattern. Hated it. I'll try something else and get back to you. Again, the blanket is creeping by slowly. I think it's because someone told me I always use dark colors. Now I'm wondering....I'll post a pic next time.
On the other hand, I went shopping recently. This time it wasn't for yarn though because I came home with this:
I got my first new car!! This isn't really my pic so it isn't really my car. But mine looks just like it. It's a 2006. It's much smaller than the intrepid was and so much cuter. I finally have a cd player in the car as it seems they don't make cars with cassette tape capability anymore, lol. I haven't used it yet because I'm an ipod junkie. But it's there if I need it. The best part is it's like a hatch-back kind of car. Do you know how much yarn can go back there? And I can fit my easel back there too for when I'm painting outdoors. Course, it's a little too cold for me right now, so the easel is just back there for effect at the moment, but nevertheless. The shocks are beautifully brand new and my payment is only $250 for five years. My husband (we are still in the midst of reconciling) and my mother negotiated that bargain. Not bad for a first new car, huh?
Speaking of gender issues, which we weren't, but I had to find a way to change the subject...My husband told the people where he works that I had recently got a new car and....well, it went like this:
Steve: Did she get the turbo?
Yolanda: What color was it?
Gotta love it. Anyway, I do love this car. I didn't like the first cruisers. But this one is much more compact and after driving and parking a boat for three years (which I loved in its time), I'm much happier with this one. And with the back, I have one more place to stash some yarn.
