This morning I had really strange dream that I was riding the bus to … somewhere and Lady Gaga was on the bus, singing. It was followed by a really crazy science-fictiony dream (coming soon to a NaNoWriMo near you!), so the Lady Gaga dream is kind of hazy now, but I do remember that she seemed like a pretty fun person to hang out with while riding a bus. Then I watched her new video, Judas and realized that I am extremely happy to unlikely ever be riding on the same bus as Lady Gaga.

Blue Blossom Progress
I’ve made a little bit of progress on my sister’s shawl, finishing up the center blossom section and getting a good start of the outer open-work section which gave me so much trouble before. I’m doing it without all those stitch markers this time, so the knitting is going somewhat faster than it did before. It’s still going to take a long time though. According to my calculations this section will take about 60 hours of knitting. It seems overwhelming at this point, given that until now, I’ve only been able to give it a little of my knitting time in any one sitting. I really do need to find the time to work on it during the day too. I should also probably work a life line in there at some point as well. No pictures tonight though. My most humble apologies for that.
How are your knitting projects coming along?
The Sweater Killer is Serial
Very nearly a year ago this happened. Well, it happened again, only this time it was to this sweater.
I’m so upset, I don’t even have the words. I swear, I didn’t wash it any differently this last time than I have since the day I finished it. I put it in the water (lukewarm!) and it was only slightly fuzzed, and when I pulled it out it was felted. I don’t know if it’s my washing machine, agitating my wool on the sly, or if it got too jostled when I pressed it down into the water, or if it’s the crappy Wool of the Andes yarn. Blaaargh, I’m so frustrated and sad for my sweater. I loved it so much. :-(
O HAI Eleven PM!
So yeah, I just realized it’s eleven at night and I haven’t even thought about what to do for a blog post. Right now the Mister and I are streaming season 2 of Eureka on Netflix. I am pondering my knitting and playing the Red Dot game with the cats. Where did the day go? Um… That is a good question.
In other news, WTF, Osama Bin Laden has been killed. Obama is expected to make a speech soon, so I guess that is what I will be doing for the rest of the evening.
