I casted off on the Poncho last night and tried it on. It was WAY too short. The long, pointy ends were about waist length on me but the straight edge came to my navel. Soo I put it back on the old needles and kept going at it. I still have two balls of this yarn left so I think I will be okay. I may not be able to fringe it, though. We’ll see.
I got up this morning at 6:30 am and started watching the DMC speeches on C-span, and, of course, knitted my way through several of them. I was so inspired, watching them. I am so pround to be a liberal. I sat and knitted and had tears in my eyes because, for the first time in four years, I have hope that our country is moving in a direction that good for ALL Americans, not just the rich and powerful. I have another blog, Blatherskite, in which I post most of my opinions on politics (among other things). Black Sheep is my happy place, so I try to leave politics out of this blog, since the political climate right now is so unhappy. But what the heck.

I am almost ready to cast off on my creamsicle poncho. Probably will do so tonight. Maybe I will actually get this thing done this weekend! It looks like hell right now. It went with me on my trip to Spokane. It kind of smells like cigarette smoke, for some reason. Poor thing.

Well, I just ordered yarn for another project I’ll start as soon as I’m done with my friggen poncho. I want to knit “tank girl’ in Stitch-n-bitch. So I just today ordered some GGH Goa yarn in rose.
I’m pretty close to finished on the poncho. At least the knitting part. I have an inch or two left. I’ve been knitting until my wrists cramp! I want get this thing done. I think this will be my last project on smaller needles in a long time.

My hubby made that for me today 
I think it’s kind of funny. Remember that sense of humour of his I mentioned before?

I’m still working on that orange scarf that I have laying around at work…I kind of had it laying around for awhile and picked up up the last couple of days to have something to do with my hands while reading chemistry literature. It’s amazing how it helps me retain some of the complicated things that I am reading. Anyway, here is a pic of my progress, taken with my Zire 71:
