Head, scouts, yarn – oh my!

Just to clarify – no, I was not talking about Yarn Thing! 😉 I told Marly I love her music – it’s like she got in my head and grabbed all my favorites! In fact, I can’t even tell you which podcasts are bugging me – because I unsubscribed! I didn’t want anyone to freak out about what I was grumping about – it’s more about giving myself permission to not listen to every single knit (lost, firefly, etc) podcast out there. It’s ok to have my favorites and let others find theirs!

Head – Yep, still hurts! Talked to a guy last night who said caffeine can help with migraine – but better to find my triggers and deal with them BEFORE they get to this stage. He’s not a doctor or anything – just a guy who gets headaches too.

We’ve had some significant Scout activities around here the last week or so. J1 received his scouting emblem (now I need to teach him how to sew it on his uniform) and J2 received his bear rank. So, J1 is working on his Tenderfoot and First Class scout ranks (he might be able to complete both this summer!!) and J2 will be a Webelos I next Fall. J3 and I will be Tigers next Fall too! Also, we are preparing for J1 to attend Camp Wente in July – looked at the opportunities up there – he’s going to have a BLAST!! If you have a young man in your family – check out scouts – it’s a great opportunity for them to learn so much and gain TONS of confidence!

Yarn…well, I’ve been knitting…but not completing much! 🙁

• Music & Lyrics’ Shrug (aka Big Shrug) – well, I put it away for the summer…it was getting big and hot in my lap….but I pulled it out yesterday. It’s like an old friend and I want to wear it the MINUTE it get cold next Fall (November?) so I’m going to keep working on it!
• Cascade Fixation Socks – Red – I made a mistake. Argh – so they are going in the drawer – TIME OUT!
• Clapotis in Knit Picks Shadow. Turns out the yarn is too whispery for this pattern – I really didn’t like it. So, I’m going to cast on a true lace scarf for my Secret Sister. Frogged it yesterday! sigh
• And somehow yesterday – I was able to see straight long enough to go with Ruth to Rumpelstiltskin’s in Sacramento and buy some Lorna’s Laces in the Watercolor color. And, then somehow I cast on and knit for a bit on Jaywalkers for me! Hey! I never said I was going to be a monogamous knitter! 😉

The only downside is that I need to update my progress bars again!
I’ve got photos to post – but I’ll do it later….
