I'm in the process of putting together a package for my Secret Pal...Actually, it will be the first package that I send her. It's still too early to have a knitted gift to send, but I want to send something. So, as suggested in the FAQs, I'm going to turn into a Secret Valentine!
Gee, I wish I could say more, but I don't want to give myself away. With any luck, I'll make it to the post office tomorrow and the surprise arrive in time for Valentine's Day.
Happy New Year! I hope everyone has a healthy and propsarous year of the Rooster. And, in case you're wondering what kind of fortune this year has in store, you can get your forecast.
there's a bug going around DC right now, and I think I'm next on the hit list. Yesterday night, my BF got home from his apprenticeship class looking like death warmed over. He told me that he had felt so bad that he left work after only 2 hours. He went home and slept, eating next to nothing all day. Thankfully, we had made some chicken soup for dinner the night before...I made him have a bowl of that and then put him to sleep for the night. Also, two of my co-workers were off yesterday, one more called in sick today...and there are waves of coughing up and down the hall.
This morning I woke up feeling a bit sluggish but now too bad. Well, now that I'm at work, I can feel the sickness taking hold. I feel almost like a sitting duck.
That's what I did this weekend. The last few weeks have been pretty hectic at work. So, unfortunately, I had been putting off chores. That's all over now! My apartment is spic & span.
I also took a look at my pile of UFOs. I need to decide what to finish and what to frog. I'm pretty sure that Marsha (my oldest UFO) will be heading for the frog pond. I just can't see myself picking this project up again after a year off. I'm going to aim to finish my remaining UFOs (Peggy, Mon Petit Chou & Daisy) in February...It will be my own personal finishing party!
1. It's Groundhog's Day. Punxsutawney Phil says just 6 more weeks of Winter.
2. Coincidentally, just six weeks til Maya comes to visit for her Spring Break!
3. Rebecca has put out their Spring/Summer issue! And, I was able to buy a copy on ebay!
I got my first message from my Secret Pal (or shall I say my Amica Clandestina). Thanks for the note!
And, in the spirit of SP4, I'm starting to think of things to do for my Pal. I definitely want to knit something for her. So, there will be some secret knitting going on soon.
Just in case you haven't heard, Rowan has a preview of their Spring/Summer issue on their site. I love it! This is the one thing that's going to make it hard to stick to my yarn diet...which, until now, has been pretty easy.
Some of my favorites include Toledo, Trek, Butterfly, and Martha. In addition, there are a handful of cute bags/purses that coordinate with some of the sweater patterns.
