Same old same old

Not much different going on, knitting-wise, than there was last week. Still working on the Lacy Kerchief Scarf. Am about halfway done. I just started the decreases. I am getting sick of this knit. I want it to be done. But I’m not going to put it aside for something else. Hopefully by next weekend this thing will be d.o.n.e.
In the picture you will also see a finished neckband for lucky clover! Yay! I was STOKED to finish that! I have one more of these to finish, only this one is much shorter, 8.5 inches. I’ve already finished about 3.5 inches of it, so I think a finished Lucky Clover is going to be coming soon, too! I am celebrating when this is done, I swear! I hope it will be all worth it.
I am dying to start on Apricot Jacke, but I am going to wait to cast on. well, maybe i will cast on this weekend. We’ll see. When I cast on for things I tend to be distracted by it for awhile.
I’m listening to the new White Stripes album, “Get behind me Satan.” downloaded it from iTunes yesterday. Not sure what I think of it so far. I don’t think I like it as much as Elephant. Maybe it will grow on me.
I’ve been totally devastated by what is happening and what has happened in New Orleans. I’ve been ranting and raving about it at Blatherskite, so I’m not going to say much about it here. You probably have noticed, tho, that I put up a donation button. I don’t think I need to tell you all to donate. I’m sure you already have. My prayers and thoughts are with all of you who have been affected by this horrible situation.
Update; Tuesday 8:30 PM: I have finished knitting the last piece of the Lucky Clover Wrap! And it was 18″, not 8.5″ as I reported above. I’m so stoked! Seaming will commence ASAP!

Hey Moni
“Get Behind Me Satan” has really grown on me. I am a big fan of theirs… all of their CDs are great. (My fave? De Stijl) but I was not crazy about this one when I first heard it… but I find myself liking it more and more as time passes. I am always humming “Little Ghost”.
The Lacy Kerchief is so cute!
