Happy Post!

It was another "day", but I'm not going to wallow in negative feelings (though it is one of the few things I'm really good at....it's a gift, if I do say so.) I'm going to act-cen-tchu-ate the positive.

First up: YARN!!!


Remember that I said I won a contest? This was the prize! How's that for flippin' sweet? And I so needed a pick-me up. A bright one at that 'cause it's been gray and rainy for days (*wrist slap* Just positive things!) I just love this color: Flamingo Stripes. I'm in love. Now I have to find the perfect pattern for it. (Right now, I am seriously considering a shawl.) I just love the card, too. I'm going to take it to work and hang it where I can see it. It just cheers me up.

I haven't gotten over the knitting blahs completely, but I have seen a reduction of symptoms. I decided to just knit on through it. I know for some folks, they find it helpful to just put the knitting down for a bit and wait until the mojo returns. If I do that, suddenly it's been 6 months since I knit something, I become cranky as hell and I end up killing someone. So really, it's best I plow through it. Otherwise I may end up rotting in jail for murder. I'm working on the Lillian Tank. Boring, but hard to mess up. Nothing hurts lack of mojo-itis more than a royal screw up.

And I also joined Project Spectrum about a year late. The focus for September (which I am aware is halfway finished) and October is blues and greens. I've got several skeins in blue shades and I'm feeling inspired!

Also in the good news department:

• I came up with a brilliant idea for swap gifties (which shall remain seekrit* in case any swap members are reading.)
  
• Tomorrow is Friday!
• There are some great football games on Saturday.

*thanks to bubblesknits for the spelling. I've been dying to use it since I first saw it on her blog.
