Ramblings

I'm shaping the neck on the front of the SSS.  I should be able to finish it over lunch today and maybe even start seaming.  I received my package from Knit Happens with the 2 extra balls of Jo Sharp SoHo Summer I need for Ronnie and some lovely rosewood Lantern Moon size 5 needles.  I also went last night and picked up some pearl gray silk/merino lace weight yarn for my fist attempt at a shawl (from the lady that I met that sells yarn out of her house - nice stuff and great prices).  I meant to take some pictures last night, but ran out of time.  Why you ask?  Well because I had my first run in my 5K training program (1 1/2 miles, which I ran all of) and then I went to help Travis with the new roping steers.  So, I really got my exercise last night - running and then riding for about 2 1/2 hours.  We didn't get into the house until almost 9:00.  By the time we ate dinner and I knit a bit, there was no time for pictures and fighting with my computer.

Now I have to shamelessly plug a new cd.  This is a county music cd, so if you don't like country music, just skip ahead to the last paragraph.  If you do, you might want to check out The Great Divide.  The guys in this band are friends of a friend (actually my college roommate) and can mostly be heard in Texas and Oklahoma.  They have a good sound and some of their songs are great (at least in my opinion).  Check it out and let me know what you think.  And if you live down that direction, you should go see them live, I hear they put on a great show.

Have a great day.
