Isn't Technology Just Grand?
Good new faithful blog readers. I am back in touch with the world and I'm feeling much better about things. I've caught up with some of you and will catch up with the rest in the next couple of days. Everyone's been very busy and you're all finishing up your projects right and left. I did not complete the Ruffle Shrug over the weekend, but have high hopes for this weekend. I'd better hurry up and get it done because I'm itching to start the Backyard Leaves scarf for Blossom.
In bad news, the blocking helped the Zip Cardi a bit, but I still wasn't happy with how the neck looked. So, the zipper had to come out.
And after I ripped it out I decided that I really want to find a zipper that is close to the color of the yarn, so I'm off to web surf (which I can do now) and see what I can find to order. Anyone know of a good zipper shop? I really like the way the sweater turned out and I want the zipper to be right. It's that pesky perfection thing again. Grrr.
In karate news, my test is tomorrow night. I'm freaking out, but that is my nature. I have written the required paper on what karate means to me, and can I just tell ya - I do not like to write about what things mean to me. Ask me to analyze something or interpret a statute, and I'm all over it. Case law, no problem. Ask for touchy feely and I get irregular breathing. Oh well, it's done and that's that.
I got The Runner's Handbook and it is a great book. There are lots of things on motivation, time management, and different beginning running programs so you can pick the one that works best for you. I'm really excited to start running and next week is the week. And for motivation and accountablility, Cyndi has started Fit to Knit where I'll be posting about my progress.
Have a great day.

Glad to have you back! If you have any trouble finding the right color via the web, you can always send me a swatch and I can hunt for you in real stores around here... just sayin' ;).

Yay! You are back. Glad the technology is worked out. I've got no idea where to find you a zipper on line. But good luck with Karate!

Good Luck on your big test! And I can't wait to see the cardi done, I would go searching for a matching zipper too, perfection can be a bugger! However, if you don't find one, I really like the way the one you have looks...

You know about Zipper stop, right? I've heard that people order zippers from them. http://www.zipperstop.com/
I love that you never give up on your projects. This one will work out too!
Good luck on your test tonight!

You will ace your test! Best of luck!
Well, it sucks about the zipper but the perfectionist thing is quite understandable.
