Ok not sure how my secret pal knew about my yearning for the Jordana Paige needle box, but she did!!! I remember seeing it in a knitting magazine and wanting it but decided instead to felt the Berroco Needle Carrier which I haven't finished. Why? It looks better as a crochet, dpn, circular carrier. So I used numbered buttons to identify my sets and then was going to have to do something else about my straights especially my long ones. Thank you secret Pally. My husband is also grateful for anything that organizes sharp objects, he hates finding dpns under his back on his side of the bed!!!! So with organization, came a huge leap forward this week. I canst on the coriolis sock from Cat Borhdi on Knitty Gritty. Hubby hates the seams, any seams in his socks, even hates tube sock seams. When she deomonstrated the pattern I saw somehting that I knew would be great. NO GRAFTING, no real seams. And when I knitted it up they came out perfectly, he is love with the sock, still have to make the other one, he may wear out the single waiting for the other in a pair. Toe up Coriolis socks on circulars here we come!!!!
BTW, he choose hazel eyes for the replacement eyeballs, apparently that's the color of Jim Kirk (William Shatner_ and he got all the alien babes, so he figures it will be good for gigs. His eye patches worked well. I had a migraine from lack of sleep and the sleep shades were very comfy and cozy. I'll be making more for Tony for his next trip to South America.
Ah, and another thing SCORE!!! My Mom's new next door neighbor is from Peru, and will set me up with a yarn supplier there so I can buy my wools direct from her anytime I want. Yipppeee.
Time to feed the little dog and check on the honey. Just really wanted to say way to go Mx BAM!!!

Sorry about that...
I haven't been blogging, J had a series of rough seizures. Sometimes they come in clusters, and like a swarm of earthquakes preceding eruption, they tend to build until the supervolcanoe has discharged the contents of the magma chamber. So I am back to resolving technical difficulties and getting more stuff in my blog next week. This weekend I take J to the eye guy and he is selecting a new eye color, not just blue, he has decided on hazel. This is going to be fun. He has his cool & comfy eye patches for the day. In a frenzy of knitting right now, for SP10 and because it really passes the long hours of the night when he is recovering and I am worried.
Apparently, my honey is learning lots from SP10. I like that, his comments on my last blog was well deserved. No one told me of this benefit of participating, husband gift training, the advanced course beyond flowers, chocolate and jewelry.

Yipppeeeee! My first SP10 package arrived
okay, I am so excited, I have to wait for the blind geek squad to arrive to fix my photo posting problem. Ironic? Yes, but also reality. Technology allows my blind husband to be the navigator in the car as well. If it wasn't for his abilities, my rather famous lack of direction would have us un Tijauna instead of Los Angeles. Anyway, pictures and a more detailed post to follow. I will follow the example of every television show, with a cliffhanger to bring you back to read more. My SP10 sent an item that led to an intimate moment. What could that be? Stay tuned for pictures.
