Bag-Ho confession

"What does this have to do with knitting?" asked GHB when I shared the latest rabbit blog post with him.

"They need to know!" I defended. I guess all blogging is about storytelling-long or short, interesting or tedious. When I bore myself at least I try to keep the daily post short.

I typed a subpoena in LegalLand. I also filed folders with titles like "Arrest Warrants", "PI" and "Name Change Applications." I refuse payment for good deeds such as these because my hope is that karma will bring someone to me (just like me) when I am too feeble to take care of myself. (they aren't that-just to make it clear.)

But I'm guessing Aunt Attorney, a longtime crocheter, knows the power of a good bag. She asked if I had this one and I replied "No, but I've coveted it more than once." A rolling stash bag with a gazillion pockets. I'm such a bag-ho. Plus there was that one post about "How Much" yarn a person needs for an overnight trip.



Knitting progress-

Malabrigo Moeibus met with hospital distractions.


The roommate (in a decidedly man's voice) kept asking if we knew that she was 92 and then made me come and look at her legs. She also admired Aunt Attorney's beautiful blonde hair (a wig) and it was all Uncle and I could do not to take it off of Aunt's head and pass it on over. There's a little unkitting to do which is a little worriesome with all of the YO's in the pattern. Ugh. It's on hold

Half a slice of the pie-shawl is done. I like the way it forces me to relax my hands and I'm pretty excited to watch it as it makes that second slice.



Koigu socks haven't changed one bit. There was a first attempt at high-whorl spinning that's not worth showing. All the web-sites say to practice. I'm thinking that the people who actually do that have an invisible third hand to keep the spindle spinning.

There's your knitting post GHB!

Your new bag is awesome!!! I don't really have anywhere to wheel my knitting to but still way cool.

I'd be hoping karma would keep the lawyers off of me.

I once shared a hospital room with an old man who was actively dying. He was moaning and gasping for hours, and the nurses kept coming in and apologizing that they didn't have another room for me. I think they were offended when I pointed out the experience was far worse for him. I hate hospitals.

Ah unknitting yarn overs is not only easy, but somehow less painful. You don't have to do anything to make the go away. ;)

I just rearranged my stash baskets a bit to fit more yarn. SHAME ON ME!! I might need a wheely bag now too. I don't want to put all this stash on the slow boat.

Love the new bag! How about a picture of your aunt's wig? Last night at SnB a couple poeple were complainting about the f-ing rabbits eating their veggie gardens up and I brought up your wabbit-hunting cat. They would like to borrow your cat for a few days.

Beautiful projects, legaland, hmm? Do you ever wonder what you could do if you couldn't do the job you're doing now?
