Knitting, Interrupted!!

So, I went on down to Carrie's yesterday morning for a visit. After Hailey's 7th birthday party (the girls were all treated to pool-side facials & nail/toe polish), we escaped to a yarn store.  We discovered a very quick and fun pattern for a mini-purse/wallet.  I made one with a silver ribbon-style yarn and a pretty button.  It sounds cheesy, but definitely is not.  Anyway, my plan was to return to the yarn shop today on my way home, for more yarn.  Unfortunately, on my way out this am for fried dough with Carrie's kids, I got a big flat tire.  I should add that we were still in our pajamas and I had no cell phone with me.  Carrie had to come rescue us at a local motel, where, according to her son, someone was murdered a few years ago.  As always, Rick (Carrie's fab husband) saved the day and got the spare on my car right after his 10 mile run.  Needless to say, I thought twice about stopping at the yarn store, given that it is a bit of a ways off the highway and I was riding back to Concord on my spare.  Uggghhh, life always seems to get in the way of my knitting!!!!!!! Oh, I gave away the purse last night, so I will post a pic of the next one...........if I ever get that yarn again!!!!!!!!!

  1. Quelle adventure! Flat tires are a big drag, but I'd hardly say ANYTHING gets in the way of your knitting, to any significant degree :-)
    Oooh, new look to the blog; nice!
