Sidetracked...

Hubby came back from out of town on Friday and his socks are no where near finished (I crack myself up!!), but I did make a lot of progress. I've got both heels done and am now working on the decreases and foot sections. It's impossible to work on them on the weekend while he's here so I've been sidetracked working on another project:



This is another Vintage Velvet scarf from Scarf Style . I'm using a Sage colorway of Touch Me and I really love it. This is the third time I've done this scarf and every time I swear it'll be my last, (only because of the little fuzzies that are produced when knitting this yarn up) but oh, the beauty once it's washed & dryed is just too much to resist. I picked it up while in CA this last summer. It's going pretty fast, I'm already on the third ball and have two more to go. It's nice to switch to a larger needle project while doing socks too, just to keep my sanity. I honestly don't have the problems with "worming" that others seem to have with this type of chenille. But I'm a tight knitter by nature, maybe that helps.

I also received my other birthday present from my Mom last week: Season Seven of Murder She Wrote. We always were addicted to watching it and are happy as clams that they finally started putting this series out. So, I better go pop in another Dvd.....(thanks Mom - AGAIN!) Yes, I'm pretty spoiled...

That scarf is pretty!

I used to watch Murder She Wrote when I slept over my gram's house as a kid. Those were great times.

I love Angela Lansbury...she was so darn "smart" in that series! I actually named my first daughter Jessica because I loved the way everyone in her episodes would say "Jessica" when she'd figured something out! too funny!

Another Murder She Wrote fan! It is on during the day here so I often have it on the telly while I'm working in the house. Wouldn't you be scared if Angela Lansbury suddenly rocked up in your street? It would only be a matter of time before someone got bumped off!!

That's too funny Charlie!! It's funny how they often referred to that on the actual show! Yes, I'd be a tad bit worried....(gulp).
