I'm trying to get past the hurt.  Not sure what I plan to do instead, but there have to be consequences of actions.

On to more fun things.  I'll be trying to knit this week and then perhaps spin the following week.  The planned events for next week fell through for me, but I can still enjoy what I'm doing!

I am angry and hurt. X doesn't want to see us, but does want me to make things for their family.  I am in the middle of a 3 projects for them.  I will finish these.  And one more, so that both children get the same things.  Then I will stop knitting for them.  There is too much anger on my part.  The casual assumptions that I will continue to buy yarn and make things  with no acknowledgement.  That the extended family they married into is enough, that there is another side of parents don't.  Don't forget, they did meet up with another family.  But not us.  Those are their choices.  Now see ours.

Another short night of sleep.  Just over 5 hours.  Two in a row.  Reflux.  Whee.

I am almost done with sleeve #1.  Then on to #2, the hood and done!  Yay!  I bought some buttons the last trip to MN, so that's sorted too.  Then it is back to the pink wrap and M's afghan.  With a short detour to finish up G's vest.  No fun having one child receive something and not the other!

As I've had no input from S as to size or answers to questions, oh well!

Bit by Bit

I made an error in the vest I am making, I forgot to move the stitch marker for the beginning of the row at one point.  The "sideseam" is now very visible and not pretty at all.  So I am unpicking an entire row, will move it over, and attach the whole thing together again.  Then I'll make fake "sideseams" to cover the messy area.  I couldn't leave it in place, because anything I did wouldn't be in the right place, it would be on the back.

So I unpick some stitches, then do something else.  Rinse and repeat until done.  Once I'm (finally) finished it won't take much to end it.  Just this part is time consuming.  Prednisone doesn't help.

I'm doing this for me.  There are times I need to post what I've done, what I think, or just stream of consciousness posts.  Lots of things on my mind and no place to let it go.

I am a knitter.  An occasional spinster.  I enjoy sewing when I'm in the mood.  Fibers are my main passion.  I also love reading and cooking.

I hope to enjoy this again, my older blog lapsed because I didn't post to it for so long.

I have sent links to X and Y, asking them if they are interested in something.  If I receive no response by tomorrow, I will take it as a "No" and will proceed to order without anything for them.

I asked X a question yesterday (via email with pictures.)  If no response by tomorrow I will make my own decision and knit the item I choose.

If you decide to ignore me, you won't get what you expected.
