KnittyBug

I know that sounds gross but that’s what it smells like outside. Well to me that is. I have had a sinus thing going on all week and along with the humidity every time we go outside I get hit with that smell like someone broke a pickle jar in our yard. We’ve been avoiding going outside because of that and because it’s just too hot. Peanut has gone in her pool a few times but even with that cooling off is better in the ac.
What we really need is some good rain. The thunderstorms have been just passing us by these last couple days and we haven’t even had one single drip. Our garden is really wilting and the grass is well pretty much brown and we’ve even watered it a little here and there. We just need rain. So please send the rain this way. :)

I also realized today that I’ve been away from this awhile. The hubby has pretty much taken over the computer with his Warcraft game. But being away has made me realize that sometimes I’m more productive if I avoid the computer because:

I have more time to knit.
I don’t spend hours reading and searching and again I knit. ;)
I actually clean something. (ok maybe that’s a con)
Oh and the best is that my arse hasn’t fallen asleep in awhile. ;)

Those are just the little ones that first came to mind. Really the biggest one is that I feel like I get more accomplished throughout the day. So I’m just not going to turn the computer on unless I have a bunch of stuff that I need to do….so that I don’t get sidetracked and end up doing things I don’t need to do like.... shop . Yeah I forgot to add that to the list….I haven’t spent money that I didn’t need to spend.
So basically my posting is going to be sporadic.

I’ve also neglected to take pictures today for this post so this adds to the boringness.
Anyways I ripped that horrible butterfly attempt. I started over with a smaller needle size and the smallest pattern size. So far so good. The bottom is almost complete and I’ve tried it a few time and it seems to be a good fit. I did notice that mine is probably not going to be as loose as the one in the magazine photo. But I actually want it that way because similar tops that I have purchased with a loose fit around the hips give me a preggy look. Not that I want a tight fit either but just not as loose. Hopefully it will work out.
Anyways I’m going to get back to whatever I was doing….see I got sidetracked. Hope your all staying nice and cool this afternoon. :)
