My...Near Death Experience.

I went out and put my son on the bus then got on the sarta bus to go to the store because I didn't want to walk there AND all the way home so I got my items then left. Well I remember telling the lady bye but I don't remember much else except that my legs kept feeling like they were turning to jelly and I was going to pass out then I just started falling down. So I fell about 6 times and this lady came out and offered to help and offered me a bag because I had pop and it broke when I fell down the last time and then she offered me a ride home. Well I couldn't remember where I lived so she tried to help me and eventually we ended up back on a street that I recognized and I remembered enough that she got me home....

I came in and realized that my blood had to be low so I ate some cake then realized that my wallet was missing so my neighbor took me to find it and the lady that gave the the ride came out of her house and told me that she found my wallet and I told her that I was diabetic and didn't want her to think I was some 7am drunk (because when I have that stuff happens it seems like I'm drunk) and she said that she was glad to know what was wrong and that she was glad I was ok and my friend took me back home.

Well I had slits in both legs of my jeans from falling (yup, my only pair of good jeans...totally ruined) and my knees were killing me so I went to look and it's horrible. Apparently that road isn't my friend :



Apparently walking with low blood sugar isn't my strong suit eh? I'm ok now but I just wanted to let you all know what happened. Scary to know that not only did I get so low I couldn't have gotten myself home alive but I also got into the car with a strange woman that I've never seen in my life. I guess I'm just lucky that she was a good lady!

First SP11 Package

Well today my first SP11 package arrived and I couldn't be happier! I think I have the best pal ever, lol.

Inside my package were these two items :

Three lovely balls of Elann Super Kydd and a lovely book called Knitting lace Triangles by Evelyn A. Clark. WOOHOO! I can carry on with my new love, lace shawls! This one will, of course, be lace weight though and the mohair makes it lovely.

Here is another pic that shows how lovely the yarn is out of the plastic. Isn't it scrumptious?! I can't wait to knit it up and wear it around!

More Progress

I've been going at a pretty good clip on the forest canopy shawl. I have done 17 pattern repeats of my 20 so I should finish this week if I'm lucky. With 307 stitches on the needles right now I am averaging only one 8 row pattern repeat a day. I'm assuming that the edging and bind off is going to take about the same amount of time so...about 5 days to go possibly.

I can't wait until this is done and I can wear it all around town. It looks amazing but the pics don't do the yarn justice. It's a muttle of reds, oranges, and a hint of a purple color. Amazing and great to knit up also. I am officially a Schaefer Anne fan now. I will have to look into getting some more of this once I get some money together.

I also put in a few more repeats on the Rainy day socks but I really haven't touched them since taking the last pics. Just put in another pattern repeat while waiting on my appointment the other day and then put them in the waiting corner again. One day I WILL finish them! I just need to find some time, lmao. I don't like anything that takes away forest canopy time! Once it's done I will certainly be starting something else though. I just don't know what. Any suggestions?

Me after knitting another repeat over 307 teeny tiny stitches:

HaHa! I know, I'm a dork...but oh well, soon the madness will be over with!

Forest Canopy So Far

Ok, so I have officially started my FCS KAL with my knitting haven friends and it's a really great project! So far I have done very well. I think that this will be cast off soon already! I am having so much fun that i have a hard time putting it down!


So there is my progress so far. I have actually done about 3-4 pattern repeats since then so I will have more pics on here in a day or two. i can't wait to block this and wrap it around myself. It feels lucious. I'm knitting it on size 4US needles and making it from the Schaefer Anne that I recieved from my SP10 Pal
