Any Sock KAL 2

[jess_hawk]

Happy Birthday Rosalie!
Just dropped in to provide some comic relief courtesy of my last day ever of undergrad classes ( happydance ).
Today's topic for discussion in Brain and Behaviour was.... (drumroll please)...

ZOMBIES!

Now, understand that zombies are a legit part of the voodoo religious system, and that was what we were discussing, but when a serious science-based psychology professor announces that "Today we will be discussing zombies," much hilarity ensues. For example, notes from the board:
How to Recognize a Zombie:
1. vacant/absentminded expression and absentminded actions
2. clumsiness
3. peculiar vocal tone, resulting from having been dead
And, my very favorite ever "If you take anything from this class, remember this one thing" moment:
Never, EVER, give a zombie salt.

Now, I can finish my college career knowing that not a single topic has been left untouched, because I have had an actual, serious, scientific discussion regarding zombies in class.
Unfortunately, we did not cover surviving a zombie attack, but I'm seriously considering an article for my non-knitting blog, regarding steps to increase your survival in case of apocalyptic zombie attack (voodoo zombies may be used for good or evil by their creators, and also don't travel in packs, so they are less likely to be a problem than the kind seen in movies).

Dustina you'll get it all done, prioritize girl.
I'm doing the doily; wanted to do something with this SUPER SOFT Aunt Lydia's bamboo crochet thread, o it's like butter! I'm using ecru as the color (off white) because I figured it wouldn't show the dust as bad as the white. Now what does that say about my cleaning abilities? Actually the antique table I'm making it for has a glass top so I'm thinking I'll put it between the wood and glass so that it wont get dusty & if it turns out well I'll probably enter it in the NM State Fair; never done anything like that before. I might enter some of my photographs. Actually I submitted 7 photos to a stock photo website, where people can go to download others photos for advertising/postcards etc and pay the photographer per each use, and 5 were excepted & loaded on the site!!!
We're going to the drag strip tonight so that should be fun. And my Hemlock ring doily is roughly 1/2 way done I'd say, well I'm done with the center pattern which was 47 rounds & then there is 55 rounds of feather and fan pattern so maybenot quite but close to 1/2 way I'm really enjoying it. I think I prefer knitting with fineyarn and little needles. Maybe that's why I like socks so much?
Anyway hope y'all have a good night; gonna get my hairs cut tomorrow morning.

Christine? everything ok?

Rosalie are you going to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival this weekend?

Ha. I wish. I'm staying HOME working on a research paper due next week.

My spacers suck and I can't chew anything, so I'm SUPER SUPER hungry. I've just been eating yoghurt all day and some tortellini, which I had to swallow. I can't wait until I can eat again! I know it's not good for me.

GJ, I'm going to be a teenager!!

I'm currently knitting socks for one of my friends who is graduating from high school in 10 days.

Chocolate Milk Shakes - the cold help with the discomfort and anything with ice cream can't be bad.

Julie, good idea on the doily. How's the haircut? Pics, please!

Lieke, I love asparagus, too. I grow a little bit of it in my back yard.

Dustina, hope you survive the weekend with the inlaws!

Jess, LOL! what a great presentation! Top way to end a class.

Rosalie, so you're 13? My niece is a fabulous knitter who just turned 15. How long have you been knitting?

Christine, are you still recovering from the DGD's visit or is she still there?

Hi to the rest of you! DD is home for the weekend and DS is bringing some friends over for dinner tomorrow night. I already made a sour cream lemon pie and he wants lasagna, garlic bread and Caesar salad.

Well, I first learned to knit when I was 11, but then got tired of it for about 6 months. So really when I've been an addict (), I've been knitting for about 11 months. I just have to be exact.

Good Morning sole-mates

Its been raining so much lately I saw a family down the street building a big boat and there were a lot of animals in back yard.

[knittingymnast]

It's been raining here too. Very dreary weather.

It's been raining here too. Very dreary weather.

Rosalie - it's the same rain - I live in PA just across the border from Hagerstown and work in Gaithersburg.

Has your school been closed because of H1N1 virus?

Good Morning Socksters!

Julie~I can't wait to see it! Our fair has a doily category for crochet but not knitting...they have a lot for crochet since that is what is done around here mostly. Congrats on the pictures being accepted

Gina~I hope you had a nice visit with your DS, dinner sounds very yummy...I've never heard of a sour creme lemon pie though.


Rosalie~That's wonderful that you have found this hobby so long...I wish I had

Chris~Yeah we are sick of the rain too here in OH...

Hi Lieke, Carey, Emily, Carla, Lisa, Christine, Sue, Lady Vi, Mare, Jackie, everyone!

We cut our grass a week ago and the n'bors didn't...well since then it has been raining and our grass looks no different from theirs now...I hope today that I can cut it, driving me crazy...plus being in this old farm house when the wet May weather sits in the house smells old and musty...

Isaiah scored his first goal on Saturday ...he also took a ball in the face and has a nice bruise on his nose...I think he was excited to go to school today to show it off ...Roo played better but she stills says no more soccer...

I worked on the shawl this weekend and we looked at more houses...I think we are pushing close to 30 houses we have been through ...did find one we all liked but trying not to get our hopes up since in the past we have had 2 fall through...

I'm off to start laundry and work more on the shawl...I hope you all have a wonderful day of knitting
