From there, other people look out because many of you will be dropped if you don’t get along with the program of positivity. Thankfully, my core group of friends are safe from eviction but there are others hanging, dare I say it, lurking about who will find themselves receiving the cold shoulder over the next few months while I realign my life.

I love a lot of people a great deal but love isn’t enough when it comes to toxic behavior. Auf Wiedersehen.

I haven’t been staying up all night and I haven’t been doing any heavy fiber arts. For some reason, I’ve just been really really sleepy. I may make it a point to stay up tonight to see if I can knock my sleep cycle back into something of a recognizable pattern. I’m hopeful.

Now comes the hard part, the lace repeats.

Aside from that, I’m a little further along in my new DVD viewing. I spent last night looking at Doctor Who up to and including Let’s Kill Hitler. All were awesome, as usual.

No spoilers please, I beg of you.

Today’s plan is to finish Doctor Who, work on my shawl, relax and recuperate from these stomach pains I’ve been having.

One weird thing that happened to me this past week. A Baha’i guy asked me to marry him. Don’t know how serious he was but he asked my mother’s permission before he asked me. Wild. *shakes head*

It’s the first time anyone’s asked me that question without an obvious ulterior motive. Again, weird I say.

Well, I’m going to go eat and take my meds now. Ta!

I documented in my calendar when the appointment was to take place. I confirmed it over the phone two days prior. I even got up early enough to go.

Of course, I had to go and forget the time I was supposed to be there.

I am such a prat! *frustrated sigh*

What’s worse is that there’s a $50 no show fee for missing appointments. That’s money that could have gone towards a bill, food or Amazon.

Oh well…

So, rather than mess up my shawl, I choose to write incoherent blog posts via my phone.

No life, I swear.

I will work on the shawl for sure this afternoon, once I’ve returned Library items and stuff.

*rolls eyes*

I’m going back to sleep.

In the space of a few days, I’ve managed to get most of it done. I’m working my way up to the lace portion right now.

All in all, it’s been a fun pattern to construct.

Anyway, I promised I’d make some things for this persons child to be born. So, on the search went for patterns, patterns and still more patterns. I looked all over my usual resource but was SOL as the patterns didn’t work up as they were written out. So, on I searched.

Until, I came across two sites. One, Pickin’ and Throwin’, had the perfect knitted booties and the other, The “Make Your Own” Zone had the perfect hats. The blanket, I could figure out for myself by skimming patterns and figuring out how much I needed to chain.

Well, that’s where I currently am. I’m making a hat according to the pattern on MYOZ but it’s looking like a preemie hat. I’m going to make one slightly bigger (about 60 CO stitches) in addition to this one I have on the needles now. It’s too cute to frog. I’m also making a baby blanket that I’ve frogged once so far. The hat is in Turquoise blue, the booties will probably be in the same color. The blanket is in denim blue.

Sock set one – Pretty in Pink. Made with Red Heart Super Saver in the color Pretty’n'pink, these are the first full sized socks I knitted. I made these specifically for the Maternal Parental but I did wear them myself to test drive their comfort level.

Sock set two – Gold. Made with Red Heart Super Saver in the color Gold, these are the second set of socks I made. I made these specifically for myself and I happen to be wearing them right now. They’re equally as comfortable as the pink ones, and in a better color.

Sock set three – Cherry Cola. Made with Red Heart Super Saver in the color Cherry Cola. Those of you who’ve followed this blog for a while may recognize the yarn. It was previously the Tunisian Crochet Scarf. I got sick of having so many works in progress though and decided to re-ball it and turn it into something that would get considerably more use. I can attest to the warmth of these socks, having worn them on more than one chilly day.

It’s never too late for AIDs awareness, a friend just told me when I posted about how I’d finished this two days later than I’d liked. I crocheted this ribbon today while trying to learn how to do a foundation single crochet stitch.

A Flanders Poppy. I crocheted this based on the Crochet Remembrance Poppy pattern on The Sunroom. I found the pattern via Ravelry.

The first shawl I made. I got the pattern off of Lion Brand. It’s called the Half Moon Shawl. This picture was taken before the edging was added.
