Happy Valentines Day everyone!
Why must it fall on a weds. night when all of us chicks must go to church with the young ones??? This means that we must cook dinner quickly after work and not even order out. Or maybe we could order out. Not sure. I think that I will talk DJK into taking me out to Culvers for the 1/2 off Banana split tonight. Maybe KAK will pick up her sister SSK from church. KMK will be working at Action City tonight.
CB-- Hope Ronbo is having a wonderful birthday!
AJ--- We are still praying for Shelly and her family and all her friends who need the prayers as much as she does. It is hard to lose a friend who is so young with so much more to live for.
Knit on girlfriends!

Time
Thursday of a 4 day work week and I am really looking forward to the weekend and some serious knitting time. Judging from the lack of emails between Guild members, we are all busy and looking forward to the weekend. The cold snap made the week seem even longer (even though I got an unexpected day off). Yesterday I decided it was warm enough ( a whopping 9 degrees) to take the dogs for a walk. What a bad idea that was, not only did I freeze for 20 minutes outside, but I wasted another 20 minutes trying to warm up, so a total of 40 minutes I could have been knitting was wasted! Today, I spent 45 minutes waiting at the repair shop for the boy's car (not even my own!). Again, quality knitting time wasted (of course if I had planned ahead, I would have brought my knitting). Tonight, some quality knitting time. That is my plan, although I have to deal with a very depressed daughter. MMT has her heart set on Wii, but there are none to be found.
Green V neck top down update: I took it off the needle last night and tried it on again, it fits fine. I took 10 stitches out! Either I don't fully understand gauge or the patterns are just big.
MHS Knitters Update: The girls from Thailand are working on their purses, so far so good. They all knit so very tight. The one girl who started the multidirectional scarf, put it down and forgot how to knit in the front and the back. A couple of other members are working on learning to knit on the diagonal, so each is making progress. We continue to have good attendance, which is wonderful.
AJ: We will pray for Shelly, may the Lord keep her and her family safe.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GBT!
Hope you have a wonderful day indian princess pick n click. Hope the snow will not be to much touble for you....at least you can knit to keep warm!
I did not knit last night so am behind in my knitting 30 minutes a day but am putting a new item on my plate also. I can not start a new project until I get at least one or maybe two other projects done. We shall see how it goes.
Hope everyone is staying warm by knitting!
On Friday my eldest turns 18! Hard to believe that she was ever a little girl!

Peace and Quiet
Wow, what a shock. A cold day. And cold it was. MMT and I ran errands around 10:30 this morning (that was crack of dawn for a 14 year old with an unexpected day off from school). Burrr, too cold to even think about anything but the few stops on my list. I spent my day rewarding myself with knitting breaks, put laundry away, knit a bit, do dishes, knit a bit. You get the system. I ripped back the green top down V neck. I pulled it back at least 10 inches. I reknit about 1 inch. When I finish this ball of yarn I will try it on to see if I have the size right this time. I worked on my mittens, I am almost done with the right mitten. If (oh who am I kidding) when I knit after supper, I probably will get to the take down. I finally got rid of MMT (off to a friend's for the afternoon) and the boy (bowling) so I did enjoy about 1 hour of total peace and quiet on this "cold" day. Ah, but back to reality tomorrow. Speaking of tomorrow, my baby GBT will be 19. 19! That is like a grown up age! On the bright side, it will be a 4 day work week! And we are one week closer to our yarn adventure to the Cities.
BTW, I was reading the Harlot today, she had 194 comments. Wow! If 194 people commented, think of all that don't comment, but read (like me). She is very popular!

Advice Taken
Burr, the only worthy activity when it is this cold is knitting. Even though we hosted the conference party for the swim team last night, I had a lot of time for knitting so far this weekend. Friday MMT and I baked all the bars, then I snuggled up with a bad movie and knit. Saturday I purchased yet more storage containers for my yarn, organized it and got excited for the Island. I grabbed my top down V neck for the swim meet. I was able to knit almost a whole skein at the swim meet. Following the party, MMT and I watched a movie upstairs and I knit on my mittens. I am to the right thumb. So for a busy weekend, I have found a lot of time to knit! Yeah!
CB, I hope Boy #1 is better! NK thanks for the chairs.
Top down V neck update: I took it off the needle and doggoneit, if it is not too big. What is it with these top down patterns? I am working the directions for the small, and it is still big. I am going to put it aside until the next Guild meeting.
Top down V neck updated #2: I have decided to rip it back to the underarms and reduce the number of stitches around. I have plenty of time today (no school-wow) and ASJ had some good advice yesterday (she did not know she was giving me advice). She said she rips and re-works it until she gets it right. And she is right. So today, I shall rip.

TGIF
Yep, I was up before dawn even cracked. Explain to me why I can't sleep in when I am off?? I was up at 4:50! What is up with that?
Almost went to the emergency room with Boy Number One last night. He took two Advil at 6:00 to bring down his temp and at 7:00 his temp was 102. It finally started dropping around 7:30. Needless to say he is at home this morning. He did have a temp again this a.m., but took some more Advil. I am praying no one else gets this bug.
So I am showered and ready to roll. Off to the Page's at 8:30 to help them move in. Shopko to pick up Nyquil for the boy. Already did the dishes, and cleaned the Boy Number Two's room. Folded laundry and put it away. I figure by three I will need a nap. Lunch with NT today, and then I hope to put in a little knitting time.
I have been reading a lot lately and not as much knitting is happening. I am starting to feel guilty about reading. Hopefully I will get several rows on the cardigan done today.
To keep warm I suggest you knit a lot! Brrrr.

The Power of the Guild
Never, and I mean never, underestimate the power of The Guild. We got great news last night, Uncle Gene has responded to the antibiotics. Actually, he is home from the hospital! How about that for the power of prayer!
Thank you!
Thank you!
