as promised
can you believe it?!?! i'm managing to get the photos of my husband's scarf up the very next day!!! i'm so proud of my self for not procrastinating another week. although had i not gotten off of work a few hours early the out come may have been completely different
anyhow here they are
i have included multiple pictures, well because i'm just so darn proud. not cause i did a garter stitch until my husband said "STOP!" but because a took the support of a team of people across multiple continents (read previous posts) in order for me to pull it off. in case you want to knit your own i'll provide you the pattern here
HUSBAND'S SCARF
YARN: Noro Kochoran colorway 41
SUPPLIES: Needles size US 6
CO 22
R1 k
R2 k
repeat rows 1&2 until you have reach desired length then CO
i know it's a complicated one, what can i say (voice laced heavily with sarcasm) but that's what my husband wanted so i happily knit it for him and fortunately he loves it! too bad it's 100 degrees outside ; )

princess is all grown up
this weekend, as i was puttering around the house, i realized just how big my princess has gotten since we got her at three weeks old in october... here's a reminder of what she looked like back in november.
now she looks like this
can you believe how big my little kitten has gotten?
the good part is that she's starting to calm down and not attach every piece of dust that moves around her. she's starting to cuddle more and want to spend time closer to us for more than three seconds at a time. i wish i had more pics of her but she kept trying to smell the camera and then she finally went under the bed and slept for a while.
on knitting new i have an amazing development! i have finished my husband's scarf! it is done and it is the length my husband wants... i'm so relieved to have it off my projects list! i have been trying to post pics for like a half an hour and the internet is just not working with me and i need to sleep. so you will have to wait a day or two until the internet is more cooperative. sorry!

is it me???
or is it them?
lately it seems that i am becoming more and more bugged by my co-workers! i annoyed with so many of them right now that i am starting to wonder if maybe it's me. hmmm nahhh. let me tell you what REALLY drives me insane at work
• asking me dumb questions that you can get the answer yourself.
CW: “hey who’s our guy in Africa?”
Me: “i’m not sure… did you check our internal search engine for employees?”
CW: “no. i just thought you would know.. but could you check?”
Me: (heavy sigh) “ok here you go”
• asking me to do things you can do yourself
CW: “hey who’s ships our packages?”
Me: “we each do our own?”
CW: “yeah i know but this one is big”
Me: “same processes. do you want me to show you how?”
CW: “ummm no i’ll ask someone else”
• asking me things you shouldn’t ask anyone!
CW: “i need a box please get me one.”
Me: “a box? what kind of box”
CW: (gives me you’re stupid expression) “a box for paper”
Me: ”cardboard?”
CW: “yeah”
Me: “where would i get a box? i don’t have boxes” –note that i have a desk with some drawers and that’s, it no storage, no office, just a desk with some drawers
CW: “i don’t know i just figured…”
Me: (turns around and goes back to work)
• asking where people are!!!
CW: “where’s dave?” (dave isn’t on my team, doesn’t sit on my floor and i have only talked to him a handful of times)
Me: “He sits down stairs I think”
CW: (looks at me like I’m dumb) “i know. i checked. he isn’t there. ho you know where he went?”
Me: “nope he’s not on my team so i have no idea”
CW: “how would I find out where he is?”
Me: “did you try his assistant or someone who sits around him?”
• making me rush on something just so you can sit on it
CW: “i need you to get me some info ASAP”
Me: “when exactly do you need it by cause i have a few (a ton) other things i need to get done (for my boss!)
CW: “i would really appreciate it if you could get it to me by end of day”
Me: “ok i’ll try my best” (work my butt off and get them the information as requeted)
Me: (1 week later) “did that info come in handy as you had expected?”
CW: “not sure i haven’t used it yet”
now i must stress that my boss does NOT talk to me or treat me in such a way. in fact most of upper management doesn’t talk to me, or any other assistant, this way. No, it’s the people who sit among us. The ones, who like me and the other assistants, don’t have offices but feel they should. they are as important and hard to replace as the ceo (at least in their minds) and i should feel privileged to get them a phone number or a BOX (true story btw).
ugggh i just had to get that out cause i’m going crazy here! do you have any stories to add??
i’m going back to my knitting now
oh and yesterday i got the new skein of noro for my husband's scarf so i have put the scarf back on the needles and attached the new skein on! woot woot!
i finished the back of the baby cardigan (again) and i'm working on the two front pieces. i'm doing them at the same time on the same needles to make sure they come out the same size. this is either going to work out great or going to totally stress me out!

knit knit knit
well i sort of finished my husband's scarf...
it came out just as he wanted except that it's a bit too short! arrghh! and considering i got the yarn back home in december well i'm just hoping my mom will be able to find it again so that i can make it longer for him... fortunately (other than the length) he loves it! in fact now he has asked for a hat too!
now i have started a vintage cardigan for a friend who's sis is having a baby! i know, any excuse to knit baby things... i just love how cute everything looks in mini form and also how quickly you get results while knitting! plus if you are lucky people will send you pics of their baby wrapped up in your knits : D
anyhow this is where i'm at so far on the back of the cardi...
i'm working with a yarn i found locally (same as the baby booties) that is this amazing sage green color! it works great for a boy or girl except now i have found out i'm knitting for a girl! so i will add some pink ribbon along the boarder i think and then perhaps some pink booties with green accent... but i'm going to have to ponder this some more.
