This is getting old fast...

Grr. I'm sick of winter. When oh when is the weather going to start warming up?

Yesterday, I got restless and decided to go for my walk even though it was colder than hell outside. I made sure I bundled up, but I think I scared the crap out of doomsey since I was gone longer than what he expected. I didn't realize that downtown was too far for cold weather. Anyhow...when I got back, I was fine. No hypothermia...no frostbite. I promised that, next time I wanted to go out, I'd stay closer to home until the weather warms up. I guess he's right there.

Hmm...I haven't felt like posting very much recently. Here's a quick update.

The Superbowl Party was a lot of fun even if the Bears didn't win. Personally, I'm happy that they made it as far as they did. At the party, I was joking around and saying that maybe my sister checked in on the game after the second half because that's when they started tanking. My sister is a jinx, and whenever she walks into a room where a game is playing, the team she roots for starts to lose. Seriously, whenever I'm at a family gathering and there's a game on, she's usually banished from the room. :)

I finally finished that scarf I was working on. Because I used a stock and net stitch, the scarf tends to curl in on itself. Fortunately, I've gotten an advice from several different people that should work. Yesterday, I started working on my neice's baby blanket. I was going to use a double seed stitch, but after playing around with a small swatch, I decided that, since the yarn I'm using is busy anyway (it's purple and has bits of silver in it) that using a complicated stitch would make it look too busy. That...and I was sure that I would screw it up and end up taking apart half of the blanket at some point anyway. So...I went back to the stock and net stitch. So far...it looks nice. I hope my sister likes it. [Note: I'm starting to think that I might be the only family member who will end up giving her a baby blanket. The last update I received from my mom, she said that her blanket was "tangled" and that she was trying to untangle the yarn. My poor mom!] Maybe, I'll try a more complicated stitch on the next piece I work on.
