Manic Monday
April 28, 2008 by hookedonstring

Here we go again, the beginning of another week. Thank you all for you kind words about my Booga bag. Felting is scary fun indeed.
Gloomy today. Rain. Cold. Suppose to snow. Then climb back up into the 80s by the end of the week. What is up with that?! All I keep saying is “don’t get sick” “don’t get sick”. Ugh.
Since November of last year, volunteers from my local Knit & Hook group have been busily making 7″ x 9″ squares for Warm Up America. We gave members a voting choice to see where they would like the squares to go to, and they voted for Warm Up Akron, which is apart of WUA locally. The challenge is near its end (May 1st) and with the squares I have collected so far from the group, we have a total of 47 ! Yay!
For the past couple of days, I took the ones that I had collected and arranged them into this afghan. I finished assembling it yesterday. The other squares that are left over (and still yet to collect) will also go to Warm Up Akron so they can use them for another afghan project.
Other than that, the weekend was uneventful. Didn’t really get to see any movies either.
Today is a little manic because I’m getting the hot water tank replaced this afternoon. No, it didn’t explode but it’s so close to that time that I didn’t want to take any chances esp with a new floor that will soon go in the laundry room. So I am going to go finish my cup o’joe and set out to clear everything out of that room so there’s a tad more space to work to put the tank in.
Manic Monday indeed. Whatever happened to the Bangles anyways?!









Wow! That came out great! Someone is gonna love it.
Thanks
It looks beautiful!
It’s beautiful! What a nice thing your group did. Charity knitting is so rewarding.
great looking afghan and whoever is the lucky one to get that will really have a warm winter indeed! *becuase you dont really want to lay under that in the summer you will melt!
Thanks! I know, glad I got it done now!
