Honeysuckle and helmets

I rode the motorcycle to work this morning and I need a “CAUTION: Helmet hair” sign.  I realize traffic problems in my area doesn’t even come close to what a lot of people experience but I couldn’t get out of my development this morning for at least five minutes.  School buses and the cars backed up from the various stops made for a very long line of traffic.

Once I got moving, I could smell the sweet perfume of honeysuckles.  They grow along the roadside on steep banks.  I would love to have honeysuckle around my house but I think it’s rather invasive so I’ll appreciate it while I ride.

The earthquake I didn’t feel

ATK Blast!

This facility is only seven miles and two mountains from my house but I didn’t hear or feel a thing. 

Only two people were injured and were released from the hospital Monday evening.

I drove my car to work this morning.  The fog was so thick at my house that I could barely see  the house across the street.  By the time I got across the Potomac River I could see the fog was lifting.  Another three miles and there were blue skies and sunshine.  Should have ridden the motorcycle. 

But I did bring my knitting!  I fixed the eyelet and yarn over mishap last night and am ready to knit forward hoping to make major progress on this sweater today during lunch.  This meal consists of  protein bar and some delicious Chobani yogurt.  I heart Chobani yogurt.  Since I can scarf down this fantastic nourishment in about five minutes, I will have 55 minutes to knit!

Perfection, purses and a birthday wish

During lunch today, I was telling someone (non-knitter) who works in our building about my sweater issue and the missing yarn over.  She asked if it was noticable and would I really have to rip it out.   The perfectionist in me thinks it would be noticable so I have decided to try to fix it before I resort to ripping out the last ten rows.

The little person I am knitting this for might be visiting us this weekend and I’d love to have enough of it done to see how it looks and fits.

I could work on this during my lunch hour however, the big skein of yarn doesn’t pack up real good to fit in the saddlebag on my motorcycle.  I could find a smaller purse for when I ride instead of this monstrosity I currently use.

How do you transprort your knitting?

Now where is that darn camera?  And why isn’t the battery charged?

Today is my Dad’s birthday.  I miss him.
