Well, today feels a blur!

I had an appointment, I thought, at 9:30 and I had some pretty major work to get done before I went to that….but I got it done and got out of the house in time to deliver the work where it needed to go and run through Starbucks.  Of course, I got stuck in the drive-through, but it seems I always have to wait anyway so I wasn’t too worried.  Well, I got there and ran up to the 3rd floor.  Door was locked.  Stood there and then tried the door again (huh?  Did I expect it would magically open???) Nope, locked tight.  I went back to my car and called hubby to ask if he knew what was up and we figured out it was the 5th week (even though today is the 1st) and no appointment so I get to get up early next Friday, too.  lol … at least I was dressed and ready to go.

It actually worked out well because I could stay home with the little imp and hubby didn’t need to take over until later. 

It was busy at the shop today but it was fun.  I helped a friend with pictures and Ravelry although they are not cooperating for her once she got home.  I had a great visit with a friend in the later part of the day and I had fun customers.  The best was the one who told me a story of a 9 year-old boy who knits.  He learned to knit and needed help.  Mom couldn’t help so she called the neighbor lady down the street.  She said send him on down.  He went at 1 and by 5 when dad came home, mom asked him to go rescue Mrs. Smith from William.  Dad goes to the Smith’s to find Mrs. Smith sitting in one chair knitting and on the table next to her is a plate of cookies and a cup of tea.  Facing her is Wm. and he is knitting feverishly and he also has a plate of cookies and a cup of hot chocolate.  Dad says something about coming to rescue her and Mrs. Smith says it was the most enjoyable afternoon and can Wm. please join her knitting group.  So, the next meeting, Wm. brings the cookies and has a great time with the ladies and has become a regular in their group.  Now how sweet is that???

I wore the knitting gloves today for the first time and am not sure I like the thumb hole w/o a thumb in it, I was kind of cold so this is what I did.

It worked great and I can easily pull them over my hands if I need to.  So, conclusion is I do like them after all.

My mom is always freezing and refuses to wear gloves or fingerless mitts but everyone is getting sick of seeing her purple hands so I have convinced her to try some cuffs.  She picked the colors and I made them out of the Selbuvotter book I just got.  I am not thrilled with this first attempt because I think it’s too long but it does go on and fits just right so I’m going to try again without adding the extra rows.  I am also going to reverse the colors and see if I like it better.  They were really fun to knit, though.

And I saved the best for last.  Dear daughter and hubby went to their first midwife appointment and heard  grandbaby’s heartbeat.  There were lots of tears in our family today (including Grandpa-to-be!)  I told her to tell my little sweet pea high from Grandma. 

Gosh, I posted this and then realized I forgot to tell the funny of the day.  Hubby and I went on our date and when we came out from dinner, I found my current knitting project…a baby hat of course…stuck under the windshield wiper of our car and the ball of yarn was still inside the car.   lol   oops, it was raining, too!
