Rockin Flowers and... Knitting

Wow! The week flew by and it was another big week. Let's just start with this picture to put you in a cheery mood. ...

The week started with a lesson in flowers. Kind of fun but I think I will stick to knitting. It seems there are too many rules to the proper arrangement, not to mention I can't tell one purple flower from another. Actually, I can't tell the difference between a pink flower, blue flower, white flower.... etc. I think you get the picture. Didn't I mention earlier I tried to kill my flowers this summer and they only came back to haunt me???

The cool thing about the flowers, is I have them set in my doorway to greet me. Every time I come home I get a fresh smell as I walk in the door and the flower make me smile. Even my new daffodil hat is enjoying the flowers. This hat is really truly the last of the daffodil yarn. I barely squeezed it out of the scraps of the socks and gloves...

Friday night I went into the big city with my friends. As we will milling around I found....

Yes, these are crazy looking green shoes and they were in my size. I had not choice but to spend the $10. BUT, when I got home I tried to make my snazzy hand knit socks work with the funky green shoes.. and... seems I need to knit a pair of solid colored white or blue socks. Put that on the list of things to do!

Saturday I went to one of my favorite concerts around town. My friend sent me the invite a week ago, so I planned the 90 minute commute to fit my knitting schedule. This was about the right amount of time to finish my surprise sock. I have taken its picture with Penta-kun.

WHO is Penta-kun? Or better yet, WHAT is Penta-kun? I don't know... I was walking down the street and someone in a penta-kun costume was handing out this doll. So I got in line with all the little kids to get my very own Penta doll. I know you are all VERY jealous, I can see that look in your knitting faces.

Oh, I hope the yarn gods will be ok with me if I spend my yarn money on a Nintendo DS my friend was showing me some cool brain games and other nerdy games for the system. I am having trouble parting 2 months of yarn money. I have not bought any new yarn for 2 weeks! oh other things... had my first encounter with the Wii system. FUN even though Game-girl kicked me at every game!! Just means there is room for improvement, right? Also, Game-girl noticed the earthquake before I did ... I have not felt one of those in a while. It was just a small tremor and we watched our tea giggle back and forth... no big deal!

I will try to keep the earthquakes small this week and hope to have a new sock to show soon.
