I just joined the Philly Knitters web ring, and as you can see the picture does not show up.  I am so frustrated with navigating my way around.  I need a blog for dummies course!!!  I know what I want for my header, but don’t know how to find it; I finally had the courage to join a “ring” and add something to my sidebar and I can’t.  If anyone out there in blogland can offer me some help, advice, or any words of encourgement, please do so!  I’ve contacted 2 people about their headers, asking where I could find something like their’s, and received no response.  I’ve contacted a woman who designs for websites, and she never got back to me.  And last week I contacted a guy who my friend referred me to, and he didn’t get back to me.  I could see the 2 people I contacted about their headers not getting back to me because maybe that don’t want someone else to have their type of  header, but the woman who designs for money and my friend’s friend, I don’t understand!!!  

As far as knitting goes, I am out of control.  This morning I made a list of what I have on the needles and when I casted on.  I’m ashamed to say that I have 6 projects on the needles.  Here’s my list:

1. Manos Blanket – first block casted on 7/14/07.  Third block started 8/19/07
2. Baby Denim Pants – 8/25/07
3. William’s Scarf – 8/31/07
4. Raquel’s Cardigan – 9/1/07
5. Baby Cable Hat – 9/3/07
6. Rod’s Scarf – 9/6/07

My capelet is now almost finished.  I needed to bind off on size 19 needles, so I’m ripping out the bind out and am going to finish up the rest of the yarn to make it a little longer.  I think I’m going to love the capelet.  I can see me using it as a car coat.   

I’m afraid to make a list of all the projects waiting in the wings.  I am seriously considering starting a Yarnalolichs Annonymous Group.  If I see a destashing group for 2008 I will probably join. 

I’m still on chapter 14 of my Water for Elephants.  My book club is meeting on the 16th of this month and the book is about a week overdue.  I’ve got to pick it up and dedicate at least 1 night to trying to finish it.  I think maybe tomorrow night I’ll try to finish it.  We’re going to Atlantic City tomorrow night so maybe I’ll read on the drive down and after the girls are asleep I’ll read!!!  I know that I’m going to want to knit instead, but I have to get this book done.
