No Olympic Sweater

It just didn't happen although there were some attempts I just didn't get it done... I feel like the Bode Miller of the knitting world. I am by no means a world champion knitter but I thought I could do it and I just did not. I did learn to crochet and am making a giant granny square! Oh well, there is always 2010.

Knitting Olympics

The Knitting Olympics are starting in less than 48 hours and I am not sure what I will be knitting! Yikes! I have a couple of sweaters in mind but I am still undecided! I don't really like the colors of the yarns I have.

Dish Cloths

So, I have knit a few dishcloths. I really like cotton dishcloths but, is it worth the effort? It is so hard to get an even tension when knitting with that lousy cotton yarn. I think I will concentrate on other things and say, "to hell with knitting dishcloths". Or maybe I will knit a few more!

Boring Blog

This Blog seems so boring when I read the Blogs of other people. Those people mostly being knitters. So, in the next few days I will attempt to post something exciting about knitting.

Yogurt update

I e-mailed Stoneyfield and received a reply that they were sorry I was missing the fruit from my yogurt. They are mailing me some coupons for free yogurt. The "Hello Lisa" salutation was a different font than the body of the letter so this leads me to believe that lack of fruit is more common than most of us think.

Annoying Yogurt Experience

A couple of days ago I decided to bring some Stoneyfield fat free Raspberry Yogurt for lunch. To make a long story short, I thought I forgot to put my lunch bag in my mail truck. I was very disappointed. However, I found my lunch bag hiding in my truck! Hooray! When I peeled off the top I thought the amount of yogurt in the cup looked a little low. I stirred the yogurt to get the raspberry gunk to mix in and there wasn't any! It was raspberry yogurt with out the raspberry. Grrr! I was very annoyed!
