Misc.

HoneyBunny goes in for surgery at 6 am! tomorrow. I am all ready with three pairs of socks to knit in various degrees of difficulty, the cashmere lace scarf (I am DYING to start this!!), and a bead-lace-fluffy-neck-head thing called "Ice Queen" from Knitty.com. That should keep me busy. He is a nervous wreck, as usual. We've been out "shopping" for two days spending money like there will be no tomorrow. (That is what he does when he gets in a fluff about stuff). We are going out to eat tonight so that the house isn't left a complete disaster. So, I think everything is taken care of.

P.S. Remember the son that my parents convinced to move in with them nine years ago that I mentioned in my Pity Pot blog? HE CALLED ME TODAY TO TELL ME SOME EXCITING NEWS AND FINISHED BY TELLING ME, "I love you Mom." I have been crying since......well actually from the moment he said, "Mom, it's me".

Things are definately looking up. I just hope the trend continues through tomorrow!

I Feel a Knitting Fest Coming On!

We found out Monday morning at 8:30 am that HoneyBunny's surgery was not only authorized--FINALLY--but that it would happen first thing this Friday. I guess if he's going to get it done, the less time he has to think about it the better. He wants to get it really bad, but knowing what goes on during surgery and then the aftermath makes him VERY anxious.

Of course, a nice long day and night in the hospital means...............LOTS and LOTS of knitting!!!! With careful planning I should only need two or three projects. The Sockamania sock of the month is mournfully behind, so that definately has to come along. The Turkish socks that I've been working on FOREVER should come along--maybe I'll actually make some progress on them. OH! OH! and that new shawl I found on elann.com. I should take that and start it!!! I could take that pair of "Ripples" socks that I started a few months ago and work on them. Let's see, and the knit pants for The Daughter--well, no, that's too big of a project (the rest of the projects wouldn't be able to come along if I took the pants). I know! That cashmere lace scarf that I've been DYING to make! I will take that along, after all nothing is as comforting to pet and knit as cashmere! Hmmm, that should probably do it. I need to make some socks for Pooh Bear--he is in serious need of some new socks!!!! He is just about to the age where his feet have hit a lull in growing. Maybe I should take some yarn and make up a pair of my Utimate Basic Socks. I think I need help (with my packing......not my psyche). What do you think? Let me know what you think I should take.

Happy Knitting!
