Goin' back

Once again I need to apologise for my lack of posting. This is becoming routine. As I would say at work, great intentions, lousy follow up. I still have not figured out how to post pictures, or properly link things. There are a number of blogs that I read and I love the pictures, how they are able to show what they are talking about without rambling on and on. So frustrating.

Tomorrow, I am back to work. I know most everyone else returned to work on the 4th, but not me. No, I took one more week off. Truthfully it has been great. It is not like I have done anything overly exciting, quite the contrary, most of my time has been spent doing things like catching up with friends, trying out recipes and of course knitting. No, I have not finished anything. Really, who knew that I would frog a scarf, not once, not twice, heck not even three times. Try five, yes that is correct, five times. In my defence, even though it is an easy scarf (the original and subsequent patterns were just knits and purls), the yarn is uneven and when it is knit up, it is very stiff, not squishy like I expected or want. Right now I am determined to finish this, so I can get to the next project...a scarf for me.

In regards to my babies (this is where I really wish I could post pics, then you could see just how cute they are), both are most happy when I put on the fireplace. In fact I get a little concerned that George is going to accidently burst into flames as he gets as close as possible and stays for so long I swear I can see heat rising from him. Sweetie Pie on the other hand is a little more reserved about the fireplace, she seems to prefer the chair closest to the fireplace where she promptly buries herself in whatever blanket I happen to have left on the chair. This of course means that I have to make sure she is not inside the blanket before I sit down. Trust me the few times I have not checked and she has been there, she made it very clearly known that she was not amused. If the roles were reversed I would not have been amused either.
