This little incident just confirmed the fact that we think Frisky is going to live another 10 years. She is so old and frail, and can barely climb the stairs in the house but this incident didn't slow her down at all. She got up and was walking around right after it happened! I would have thought that the shock of getting her legs run over by a giant black SUV would be enough to send her into cardiac arrest, butin fact it was quite the opposite. What a trooper!
After a late night out last night with Kaci to celebrate my first week of work, the only thing I managed to do today was drag myself out of bed to go to the LYS for a couple sets of needles for the OBB. Of course, how naive is it to think I could go in there and walk out with ONLY 2 sets of needles?

The Manos is beautiful! I couldn't put it down in the store. I have no idea what I am going to do with it, but it was too pretty to be left hanging there all by it's self. My knitting basket is much more cozy.
 | I spent the remainder of the day sleeping and knitting. I am about ready to seperate the sleeves from the body on the mini-sweater, and I got through one ball of the Musique in a basic garter stitch scarf. Viva was being less-than-cooperative when it came to modeling the progress. |
I should have someone more meaningful to say here, seeing as I haven't updated in a week, but my mind is still a bit numb. Tomorrow morning, with my cup of coffee in hand, I will set out to take on the blog world and write something that actually involves thought.

missed you at the knit in! It was really fun though, you should come next time if you can.
lol. I have an instant gratification scarf on the needles in crystal palace musique. But mine is the blueish colorway.
sounds like a lovely trip to the lys. i'm envious of your manos :)
Sorry to hear about the cat, but I'm glad she's doing well. My sister ran over our only cat when I was 16, and she still hasn't gotten over it.
And congratulations on learning to shop for yarn in bulk. Feels good, eh? I have two hanks of ombre Manos that I've had for about 5 years. I keep thinking it's too good to use in a project. LOL.
Oh - the memories your post brought back. I ran over the family dog when I was 17. She was 13 and had every problem know to man including cataracts in both eyes. She'd just returned from the vet...pumped with "feel good drugs" and sat on the grass near the family car. She was there when I last checked, but must have run towards the car when she heard me start it, wanting a ride I'm sure. It broke my heart. Tell your sister to be happy it was only a break!
As for your new stash --- welcome to the world of BULK BUYING --- you'd best empty out a closet to make room! It begins with one simple purchase...
Then you get a job that takes you to China where yarn is super cheap and you wind up buying too much on every trip - always in BULK...or is that just me?
