My secret pal got me some fabulous sock yarn and size 2 bamboo dpns!!! I L-O-V-E the colors in this yarn... This would have been exactly what I would have selected for myself! After the success of the DPN training session last week, I can't wait to get started on my first pair of socks!!!!
In addition, SP sent me the wonderful little eCard to cheer me up yesterday when I was upset about Viva. Thanks so much, and also to everyone else who left encouraging comments about the situation. After thinking about it with a cooler head last night, I decided that I am going to take her to get a 2nd opinion and if that vet recommends an ultrasound, then I am going for it.
| $300 is worth it to me if that means she lives even 1 extra year (thanks, Alyx). Until then, Viva has been enjoying the fact that I pretty much let her do whatever she pleases, including sleeping on (and inevitably dumping god knows how much hair into) the Satalite TV receiver. |  |
Current Projects:
| I am plugging through the Irish Hiking Legwarmers, and I think I will have the pattern up in my post tomorrow. I've discovered that I really like Lion Brand Thick & Quick (for an acrylic yarn, anyways). These are in Fisherman, which is a great off-white color. It would make a great quick sweater - maybe something from Rowan's Big Just Got Bigger? Next up is my mom's birthday scarf, which really isn't all that exciting but is the perfect IG project - I think what is pictured took me about 20 minutes to do. However, I think it has the potential to be a great glam scarf, if i can think of just the right touch to add to it. I'm thinking something with red ribbon, maybe a removable cluster of rosettes. |
Finally, Attention all Bay Area Knitters:
2005 Stitches West Dinner-Along
Date: Saturday, February 12, 2005
Time: 7:00 pm
Location: Bennigans Grill & Tavern; 4150 Great America Way
La and I have been working on putting together this little dinner on Saturday night. And since she doesn't have to drive anywhere, hopefully she will show me how drunken stitches is REALLY supposed to be played. Luckily, this is Saturday night and I won't have to fall victim to Stammtisch [thanks to Jacqueline for bringing such a wonderful concept to my attention]. Check out JenLa for more details and to RSVP.

I am so glad you like everything!
And I agree with the second opinion. My sister's dog's vet wanted to do something to her dog once that she thought would have been too painful. She went to another vet who took care of her dog, and they used another method that was easier and no pain!

I agree on the 2nd opinion. I took Marnes to her vet, plus a specialist across town. She's happy and healthy now. It cost me $1200, but it was worth it. Best $1200 I spent, and I'm so not rich.
