The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
I leave it up to reader discretion as to which is which.
My accounting class started last night. The instructor seems very upbeat and concerned that his students learn the subject and he stated numerous times he would do whatever it takes if we need help. Plus he's kind of cute so sitting in the front row won't be a problem, hee he. I did notice that only two other people had their text books. I also noted that these same folks look to be in the over 30 set. Am I a throw back to the days where you didn't go into class unprepared, or what?
Daughter-In-Law sent a TEXT MESSAGE!!! to announce they were having baby number 4 in February. Their oldest is three and a half! What the heck are they thinking up there? I know, they aren't thinking, ugh. Maybe it's a fear of that kind of reaction that had them send a text anyway. Oh brother!
On the hooping front, I surrender. I am, and have always been, a klutz. I cannot sustain waist hooping and I'm twisting my knee funny trying to do it.
However, on the knitting front, I seem to be getting the hang of charted knitting. Hopefully this picture makes it ok.
Yes, that's my knee, but I couldn't think of a better way to stretch out the fabric so the design would show. And, for those who might have bought that beautiful fall/winter shawl kit from Knitpicks, be aware that the VERY FIRST FREAKIN' CHART has an error on row two. But, as you can see, I was able to overcome that and my leaves are forming very nicely.

Here's an awesome video by someone who's working with a large hoop but never hoops on her body at all.
Also--that knitting is pretty awesome, I love the leaf pattern.

And thanks. The leaf pattern was so much easier than I thought it would be. Once I got it going (and go the corrected chart) it was all very logical. And addictive. I couldn't put it down this weekend. I'll post more pics as it progresses.

Also, pretteh!

Goto their website and in their search box type "errata". Then when the next search comes up type in the kit number, possibly the item number, I can't remember which and the correction comes up.
