I would go on and on about how cute and wonderful my new pets are, but I got the flu and this post needs to be updated. Maybe I’ll do that tomorrow or something.
Here’s the baby chicks!

This is Maxwell Smart. He is named after the main character in the old “Get Smart” TV show.

And this is the adorable Teddy!

I haven’t been knitting that much so, I haven’t been posting. Duh.

In the last month or so we have aquired a few more pets. 8 baby chicks, 2 doves(w/ 1 baby) and 1 puppy. I guess I’d better take some photos and post it soon.

If you look to the left, I have a music player with a few favorites. When I say few I mean few. If you ask me what my favorite bands are we can have an hour long conversation. No joke.

Still have the stupid headaches, but I can still knit a little even with a headache. I can’t do lace or decreasing, just ribbing and stockinette.

Have you signed up for Ravelry yet? I love it!

AGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! *ahem* May 1, 2008

Agghhhhh! Sorry about the photos…I thought the problem was just with my computer! To see the real pictures go here. To answer the question that’s on everybody lips…no, I did not use fruit to dye my yarn. I wonder what would happen if I did dye yarn with fruit and vinegar. Would the sugar react? Would the yarn take the dye in the fruit? Would the finished yarn be so delicious that I had to eat it!?! Jk. I made you think about it though, didn’t I? The challenge is on, find a fruit to dye yarn. Post the results. Go.
