It's Broken...

...My blog is broken.  Or at least the comment portion seems to be.  Apparently no one wants to talk to me.  I wonder if it was something I said.  Hmmm.

This weekend was nice.  We went to the in-laws for the weekend to celebrate my MIL's birthday, which is actually today.  We drove up Friday night and got there about 11:00.  I actually knit in the truck on the way up - in the dark.  Now don't get too excited, I worked on the superskinny scarf, which is pretty simple.  Surprisingly, knitting in the dark went well - no mistakes.  I worked on the scarf quite a bit while we were there and on the way home and finished it yesterday about half way into our return trip.  It is really long.  If I was any shorter than 5'10", it would probably touch the ground.  I have pictures, but didn't download them from my camera last night, so you'll have to wait until tomorrow.  I worked a bit on the legwarmers, but they are going very slowly.  I'm glad I took a break and did the scarf, I was getting really tired of the legwarmers.  Now, I'm back on track with them and hope to make good progress this week.

I wanted to order the yarn for the knitalong, but nowhere is open today.  :(  I need to order needles for the project too and I was considering trying to get lantern moons, but do you think they're worth the money or should I just get something else?  I really like my dpn lantern moons, but I wanted to order the soft kid from Knit Happens and she doesn't carry lantern moon (at least according to their retailer list).  Maybe I should be using a circular needle anyway?  Hmm, I'm going to have to figure that out.  The other problem I'm going to run into is finding the color I want for the cardigan (#73 - pink).  I'm hoping when I call her tomorrow I'll have good luck.  I'm thinking that this will be a great project for the drive to Phoenix for the wedding.  If I plan on that, I won't feel too guilty about not starting it before I make some serious progress on the legwarmers (those are a winter item and realistically, I'm not going to be able to wear the cardigan until the end of April or the beginning of May) and the socks I have the yarn for too.

I am excited again about working on my house.  I need to decide on the shade of green for my kitchen and need to get sample paints for my bedroom.  I'm hoping that we can stop in Tucson at Citron Paint on our way home and get the paint I need for the next couple of projects and save myself the rather substantial shipping costs.

I don't have much else.  I'm glad to be home, even though work is going to be a bear for the next month and a half.  I hope I find my motivation somewhere - maybe under my desk!
