Oh Yeah....

I over dyed the purple/grape from yesterday's pic with some black cherry. It's darker and purplier than regular black cherry, which is to be expected I guess!

I finished one Pedicure Sock and am pleased with how it turned out. I've got about three inches done on the second one. Found out my daughter really was upset I was using the yarn as she liked it so much she wanted to make something out of it. Guess the next time she has a day off we'll have to make some more!

You've heard me talk about my best friend, F. Here is his blog, Little Cricket, and a pic of the Pinwheel Sweater he's making for his MIL. Isn't it gorgeous? And it's probably been frogged so many times we could populate at least three ponds! F's a perfectionist. I am, too, but I give myself more permission to have boo-boos that he does.

Well, I didn't do as much housekeeping yesterday as I should have, but I did do some. Guess I'll work a bit on it today....and then again maybe not. My daughter gets off early today so I'm planning on making a run to the library. I may or may not have jury duty on Tuesday and I want to have a good book with me if I have to spend the day there. On the website for jury duty it says: Anything considered to be a weapon or that is deemed unacceptable by Security, will be confiscated and/or dealt with appropriately. So I don't know if my knitting needles will be considered weapons or not. And it's up to the discretion of whoever is on duty that day. Maybe if I have something on my plastic Denise's I won't have to worry. Now, what to knit? What to knit?

Oh, remember a few days ago I said I'd recorded Nora Roberts' Angel Falls on Lifetime? I watched it last night. Yup, I'm glad I read the book first (and it's well worth the read). As usual, too much info to put in the movie and lots was left out. However, I can't tell if someone hadn't read the book if they'd "get" the movie. There is another Nora Roberts movie on this week, Montana Sky which I recently finished (and was good, too). I've set up the DVR to record it. I'm sure it'll be a typical Lifetime movie which means it's not all that well done, but.... something to listen to while I knit.
