sunshine and knitting and pedal time
im so glad to see the sun. the rain was good. its good for my little trees trying to grow. but i was getting sick of it...and the dogs were getting restless. i dont think the pie poo-ed cuz he hates to go out in it. christmas day it stopped and so i threw the sweater on pie and we went on our bike ride. he ripped it cuz he had 2 days of energy stored up. that was fun. g took tula on a walk and so they were tired out for the rest of the day. we made soychorizo tacos and 7layer bean dip. opened some beers and had a very small gathering of friends and family. watched the bball game, then watched a movie and called it a nite. lowkey and modest.
chrissy is teaching me how to knit. im happy bout that. but its not going so well. my fingers either hate me or refuse to cooperate or i have very little hand eye coordination for this task. she tells me to be patient and it will get easy. she makes beautiful hats and sweaters - chrissy is my knitting hero. but right now: i cuss like a sailor and knit.
here's my hero. domestic and demure. yah right.
im heading out for the 42mile sprinkle route. its pedal time.

I'm glad you are learning to knit, but try not to be too hard on yourself. Like learning any new skill, it takes a little time and a little practice and you have to really want to do it. Once you get the basics down, the zen thing kicks in. We have a cool South Austin group of knitters that meet every Sat a.m at Cafe Caffiene 10-12 - ride down some time.
thanks julia! i got the knit down so am practicing on my ugly scarf that will be my first piece. i may start a new trend with ugly knit wear - unperfect loop love. ha.
