To be honest, I think playing with this shrug is just what I need these days.  It’s really been fun for me.  I got a new book the other night and have been trying different lace patterns out of it.  I learned very quickly that the British use different abbreviations.  A yf is not just bringing the yarn in front…which makes a k afterwards impossible to do.  It’s a yarn over!  I’m thankful for internet!  I found the answer in no time at all after I kept ending up with way too few stitches at the end of the row and could NOT find a pattern that didn’t use that silly stitch!

Anyway, I went down 2 needle sizes and left off the ribbing on the new attempt.  My only concern is that it may roll, but it isn’t showing any signs of it at this point.  I’m thinking keeping the same stitch count and going down in needle size …and then perhaps not wet blocking…will keep it from ending up way too big.  The yarn is fingering weight, TwinkleToes by Chameleon Colorworks and I really like working with it.  I got a 2nd hank in the mail Saturday.  I should have way more than enough.

And on the non-knitting front, hubby was eating ice cream tonight and I asked him what there was to eat for one who didn’t want ice cream and look what was coming into the room right at that moment.

Yep, the Krispy Kreme delivery imp…who was not one bit inclined to want a picture taken!

Evidently, dad and the imp saw 2 different fundraisers yesterday.  They bought from the first and then when they went to get haircuts, they saw another.  The girls offered the imp a cap in spite of the fact that they weren’t going to buy any more.  Well, they had to come back to the mall a little later for their hair appointment and ended up buying a second box because the girls were so nice!  So tonight, he thought we might need a donut delivery!
