ever sing yourself that song as you frog endless miles of yarn. well i do and tonight i did. you ask why? well lets blame it on a over zealous husband who wanted to help his wife clean the house. said husband mixed said wifes crochet hooks, said oh honey, i put your hooks all in your hook holder thingy there. and i looked and sure enough he did, now to my problem. several of my hooks are aluminum and the same color but different sizes. well i have been making my friend fran a shawl and was into making this awesome new original pattern by me :D, and i was using a G hook, well i accidently picked up a H hook, don't ask me why i waited to check my gauge till it was about 6 rows off sides. so a frogging i will go, a frogging i will go, hi ho the frog i go, a frogging i will go. so after i get off this computter in a few mintues, i shall frog it for starting over tomorrow.. or maybe will wait till tomorrow to frog it period.
i hope it looks good , as i want it to be special, she is a very special lady who i am proud to call friend.
now on to other news. we lost, yes we lost the most important game this year, the seattle seahawks lost to chicago bears, who in turn will probably lose to the new orleans saints. who will then go on to the super bowl. now on to the other teams, none of which i give a rip about, but hubby is wanting the indinapolis colts to win, so i shall root for them if they make it as far as the super bowl. either way
in about 3 weeks football season will be OVERRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!! abut then yes you guessed it spring training starts. waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh,
now on to me, as some of you know i pledged to lose some weight this year, i while am not totally obese, am a "little fluffy" . to much for my self esteme to want to stay at that weight, so since the 1st i have been cutting back on junk foods , eatting more fruit/veggies ect. io weighed myself last week and had lost a total of 10 pounds. well today i weighed myself and i haven't lost a blessed pound. maybe a ounce if i am lucky, so now i must dedicate this week to not eatting any junk food. omgosh can ido it, hmmm oh i think i can, no i know i can, but i must have something to inspire me, so what should i reward myself with. anyone know? a trip to hawaii? naw i hate flying lol, how bout when i lose the weight i want, i get to go out and shop till i drop at the yarn store. that sounds fair to me, don't it to you? i mean sheeesh, to be able to sit there and pick whatever i wanted . omgosh, but better yet, just thought of this one, knitpicks is just down the road a few miles,(about 180 or so) and while it seems that it is a long way. in actuallity, its only ahout a 2 1/2 hour trip, going the speed limit too, for those who said yea if you speed. the speedlimit thru centralia and chehalis is 70 mph, which actually brings the total time down for sure. so maybe thats what i will promise myself and it actually combines into the other wish list i have. another place i want to go to is shipwreck beads again. we went there this summer and enjoyed myself alot, maybe i can talk my dd into going there with me, oh wait, when ever she goes with me
i end up buying everything she wants and nothing for myself, i will take myself, or maybe can talk one of my crochet buddies into going when the weather gets nicer.
now for the weather. its been so darn nasty , snow, sleet, ice, rain, wind, flooding,power outages, you name it. we here in the pacific northwest have had it all. some people i just saw on the news , jut recently got their power back on and within days lost it again. i am very thankful that our utility company had the forthought to put all of the wires and the transformers underground. so the only reason we here in this area lost any power was when there was a car accident and they ran over the power box, but even then our great guys who work their heart out, had it back up and running within 1 1/2 hours, yeaaaaaaaaaaaa linemen, hehe
tomorrow is martin luther kings birthday, he is someone i greatly admire, for more than one reason, he not only stood up for his fellow man, but also tried to make people understand, we are all one , you him me, no one is better than anyone else, i truly believe this,. it dont matter to me what color your skin is, wether or not your a happy person or a sad person, wether your rich or poor, sick or healthy, you are all one person who i like to say we are all americans, those who are rich, help those who aren't
those who have a multitude of riches, share the richness of your talents, of your kindness to others, it will make a difference believe me, for instance me, i have a abundance of yarn, more than i will ever probably use in my life time, so this last year i gave over half of my yarn stash away, i gave to several people who all i asked was postage, while i did recieve some postage, some i didn't so i can not any more give to those who i have to ship to, so instead of sharing with those fellow crafters , i wish i could share with ya and help you, but i can not any longer afford to ship to you guys anymore. it makes me so sad, now of course i can donate to my fellow crafters, i can still donate to the sisters of st francis. i need to call and see if they need anymore yarn.
what ya all making now? when i get done with frans shawl i am going to finish another shawl for another friend, finally when thats done, i don't know, really what i am on a wonder at the moments, guess i will see later. knitting something probably iwant to make me something but don't know what .
well am off to dream land, am very tired tonight my friends. tonight i need my beauty sleep so am headed to bed. hang in there , for those who have just he keoooooo popped in am off to bed, goodnight, sleep well, happy crocheting knitting hehe hugs and love to you all,

Congrats on the weightloss!!!!
I think you should go to knitpicks as your reward (I am drooling at the thought here lol).
As for your yarn get in touch with your local girl scouts and see if they may need some for crafts. I usually try at least once a year to donate some to our local troops.
Sorry to see the Seahawks lose. However I am totally rooting for the Colts to go all the way. This so needs to be their year for a Superbowl Win!
What I am making currently is my crochetmania shawl swap shawl. Then I am making something special for a friend, just haven't figured out what yet as she has lots of shawls and such. I have a throw I am in the middle of making as well.
Have a great week friend!
