The Mother of Reinvention

The Mother of Reinvention

Another weekend comes to a close ... It's almost 1am and I'm still up due to a 16 ounce cup of steaming hazlenut inspiration that I swallowed at about 8pm. Much to late for me to be drinking java. The caffeine jolt was needed so that I could summons the energy to help my son with his seemingly endless mountain of college essays and supplemental forms. I'm quite sure that we have now put more effort into his essays than Tolstoy did on War & Peace. I am now tempted to start knitting. Heck, with the amount of caffeine coursing through my veins, I could knit an entire sweater by sunrise. Not a good idea!

On the knitting front ... Yesterday morning, I met with my knitting group and polished off half of a scarf I am making for my sister, "Queenie". The yarn is "Punta" in the fiesta color range and I love it. I'm thinking about making something else with it - anything but a scarf as this is the 7th one I've made in 6 weeks and I'm getting sick of making them. I've got yet another scarf started for my sister-in-law Frannie. I'm doubling cash-merino with "Cah-Cha" for that one. I've also started a sweater for my little godson, Scottie. It's done on #3 and #4 needles in Magic Garden sport weight yarn. Hopefully, I'll have it done before he goes to college! Oh yeah, and I have half a sleeve to go on my Julia Roberts sweater. The finished sleeve is looking pretty long and I may end up frogging it. Maybe Julia has extraordinarily long arms to go with her extraordinarily thin (before pregnancy) body.
