Well OK, it was Thursday, not today, but we did have grits, and I took a photo to commemorate the event. Kris tuned me in to this several years ago with her Grits & Sticks contest, so I included knitting in the photo.
That’s a nice plate of shrimp grits, with the first rosé wine of the spring, and my True Blood Faery sweater. You will notice that the wine matches the sweater.
I’m clearly not going to reach my April goal on this project, which was to finish the bodice and start a sleeve. The whole thing is knit in one piece up to where it divides at the armholes. I was pretty sure I had gotten to that point already, but I keep knitting and knitting cable rows, then measuring and getting the exact same number. I still have about an inch to knit on the bodice before it splits, but I appear to be in limbo at this point.
Last but not least, the spammers have gotten more clever lately with the comments. My spam filter is pretty good, it rarely misses a spam comment, and even more rarely dumps a real comment in the trash. I do glance through them before I permanently delete them, mostly just for laughs. Here are a couple of the recent ones that make me laugh. I’m excluding all of the comments written in Russian, since I would have no idea what I was posting.
Can I simply say what a reduction to find somebody who truly is aware of what theyre talking about on the internet. You positively know tips on how to convey an issue to light and make it important. Extra folks have to learn this and understand this aspect of the story. I cant imagine youre not more popular since you positively have the gift.
Well, thanks!
Hello there, Are you going to be publishing a follow up piece? My husband and me have squandered some time browsing over your web page and surprisingly enough you touched on some thing we had been discussing only the other week with our accountant. We often notice ourselves quarrelling over the smallest of issues, isn’t it childish? At any rate we wish you greatest wishes from the Usa.
Sorry, no marriage counseling here.
This looks to be a very active website. How do you manage to keep up with filtering out all the comments?
Good question, good question.
I’m off to get some stuff done, have a great weekend!
Who discusses ANYTHING with their accountant?
Some of the spam comments seem to be written by a random word generator!
Grits and the Faery Ring. Bestill my beating heart!
Gosh! I missed Grits Day. For a long time, I thought grits were disgusting, but late in life, I discovered my mistake. Yum!
I frequently try to coordinate my beverage with my knitting. (Does that sound too spammish?)
Be careful about the black hole of knitting thing. I’ve done the same thing – knitted and knitted and kept getting the same measurement, until I decided just one more row, only to find I was several inches past the desired mark. I truly don’t understand it. Perhaps it’s God’s way of keeping us humble. At least, that’s what my accountant says!
ohhhhhhhhhhh I love the color of your sweater!
and I ‘ve spent a lot of time giggling over my spam comments.
YIKES.
🙂
WHAT???!!!??? I didn’t even know that there was such a day….I have now added it to my radar and will be celebrating correctly next year!
As for your picture, wonderful all the way around….
