i am slowly learning
Feb. 16th, 2004 08:16 pmSo I am trying to learn how to put pics on. to do this I need to upload pics onto another website and then send them here. I tried to do this once before when I wanted to show everyone the color of the yarn I am using for the baby sweater for jean. well here it is:
the real color is 209, and when i hold it up to my screen it looks like 309. so this is what the color of the sweater looks like. i only have to make the arms and sew it up. i decided to make the arms at the same time so that they are the same length.
i finished darci's purse this weekend. it felted up really well. i am going to take a pic and try to make it my first pic on my blog. hopefully by tomorrow night with some tech help from my friends this thing will finally be a working blog. :)
i did buy some yarn this weekend. i bought some lion brand yarn. i have never thought that lion brand was a nice yarn and generally when i have felt it in the store thought it felt like i was touching plastic bags. but as i was looking (with dani on the phone) for some yarn for her baby's baptism outfit i casually dipped my hand into some Micro Spun "lily white" this stuff is like sinking your hand into your favorite silk shirt. (okay i'll admit it. in the 80s i had 3 favorite silk shirts. red, purple and yellow. they all self destructed last year. they were marvelous) the pic of course does not do it justice. the color is basic white (french vanilla was too yellow-y) so we went with basic white. it is a baptism outfit. hopefully it will be lovely.
what did you do for valentine's? Sue and I went to a beach house and spent the weekend pampering each other. watching movies: shakespeare in love and hamlet. making good food: filet mignon and asparagus with baked potatoes and red wine. giving each other gifts and cards: i got a gift cert for a yarn store!! she got tix to the flower show in march. and generally being silly. we walked on the beach and gave each other foot massages with bath and bodyworks products. we drank champagne and ate strawberries in chocolate. it was really lovely and i am so glad we did it.
