A better day

Tuesday, October 09, 2007

Today was better than yesterday was. I have to say I appreciate all of the support I get from you guys when I'm feeling down. Sometimes you just need to hear (read! ;D ) it.

In good news I finally did get my roving reattached and I've been being a little more careful. I've also been trying to spin it more before letting it onto the bobbin because I think that will help it to not come apart when it does break. So far I've broken it at least 3 more times lol. And have had a somewhat easy time reattaching. I think yesterday I just wasn't in the kind of patient mood that was required. I also hate this roving. I mean I love it but I hate it too. The fibers seem to be shorter so that makes it hard to draft the way I like to. But it's going to be gorgeous and that makes it worth it!

I have a picture of the sock progress I made today. I seriously don't want to put this sock down. It's so easy and addicting. Not to mention I love it in this yarn.I have decided to only knit the cuff length to 6 inches. Not because I'm lazy (or cheating! Melissa ;D ) but because any longer would feel weird on my leg to me. I tried it on and when I put the top of it to about 8 inches from the top of my heel, it was in a weird spot. 6 inches was perfect. So they will be a tad shorter, but long enough for me!

P.S.

I LOVE the movie Sixteen Candles. Never fails to put a smile on my face. Something about dreams coming true...

I'm glad to hear that your day is getting better. :D

The yarn is really pretty, I prefer my socks a little shorter too. Just long enough that I can pull them up but don't have to fold them over.

I've seen sixteen candles once. It was pretty good actually. I love Eric the Viking for the same reason. :D

Sixteen Candles sure brings back the memories. When it first came out my friends and I memorized most of the dialog. Pretty scary, huh?

Sure, sure slacker! ;) Glad to hear you're doing better! Keep your eyes out for two packages coming your way! <3

Glad to hear you're feeling better hun. I was worried about ya. =P The sock is looking good!!!

I just saw "Sixteen Candles" for the first time this year. I think that movie, and The Breakfast Club are my top favorite cheer up movies.
