Blog titles, why are they so hard for me to come up with???  I just can't seem to come up with really unique and creative ones.  Oh well.
The kids and I have to go into town later and pick up Troy's meds.  It's sounds like going into town is a big trip; all 3 minutes or so that it'll take :)
We'll be stopping at the grocery store on the way to the drugstore.  I need some koolaid.  Really really really need it!  Why?  Why to dye yarn of course!  :)  I was given some nice cotton yarn for Christmas.  I've been thinking about what I should make with it.  Today inspiration hit.  I'll dye it, then knit myself some slippers with it.  It's cotton, it shouldn't wear out too quickly.  And I think I'll have enough yarn for 2 pair. 
I've been thinking for years of making a bunch of slippers to have in a basket in our entry way.  It's going to happen this year!  I have 2 pair ready to be sewn up.  And I have a simple pattern that I can knit a pair of in 2 evenings.  Something besides socks to work on.  I gave my friend Elizabeth and her family a bunch of knit slippers as a house warming gift.  She says her girls wear them upstairs, and they tend to stay up there :)
I finished my hubby's socks this morning.  He'll be wearing them this weekend as he curls in a bonspeil.  I sure hope they bring him luck!
I took finger puppets to work on in the library this afternoon.  Wanted something easy to work on. 
Tonight I have to cast on my brothers second sock.  Or my first sock.  Or maybe both.  Can't remember what is on TV tonight that I watch.  I'm anxious to start mine; it's a self-patterning yarn - can't wait to see the pattern.
