Today is a day I miss Boston

The rolling rally for the WORLD SERIES CHAMPION RED SOX is today. Thankfully I'm watching a live feed but it's just not the same!

Just saw Youk & Pedroia go by & now Dice-K. I missed the Dropkick Murphys giving Papelbon a kilt to wear during his jig as I was picking up the wee one from school (or we were home fixing lunch?) but the video's on thebostonchannel.com so that's good.

I finished one of the MDK slipstitch washcloths for Hunter's aunt---2 more to go. My clapotis has been frogged AGAIN! Interestingly enough, I frogged it the 1st time in June after working on it while watching the Red Sox at my parents house in VT. My Laurie scarf is being frogged because I dont like the way the Elsebeth Lavold silky wool feels on addi's. Interestingly enough, I don't have Crystal Palace straight needles in a size 6. I know---how could this have happened?!! So tomorrow I'm either making the trek to the LYS in AL or I'll order some online.

DO YOU BELIEVE?!

RED SOX WIN SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!



Anyone going to sing Dirty Water with me?!!!!! Tessie anyone????

A Red Sox prayer

The World Series version:

Our Father, who art at Fenway...

Baseball be thy game.

Thy Nation come,

Playoffs need to be won,

On Earth, then on to the Cask 'n' Flagon.

Give us this day, a perfect Papi,

And forgive us our losses,

As we forgive those,

Like Bill Buckner.

And lead us not, into desperation

But deliver us from any losses.

For thine is the Power,

And the Glory,

To beat the Rockies,

Forever and ever....the Yankees suck

A-men!

GO SOX!

Fall Felted Bag Exchange Question

How was your experience in the exchange? Did you enjoy the folks you met? Did you just love the bag you received? Please share any thoughts, criticism, and things you loved!



My experience was kind of one sided to be honest. My pal was confused or maybe just needed to get my bag out extra early but it came about 3 days after we got our partners. So I feel that she & I didn't bond & didn't get to know one another at all.

I did enjoy getting to know Michelle & exchanging emails etc during the swap. We're both native New ENglanders & I got to call her a Ma$$hole which made my day & hers. haha!

I did get to know a couple other posters & that was great----In fact they're on my friends list on ravelry.

I liked only doing 1 box & the contest questions were wonderful.

YES!!!!

Red Sox win the AL Pennant!!!!!!!!!!!!

I BELIEVE!!!!!!!!

From a Red Sox forum I'm on:

GO SOX!

Can you stand it??

How stinking cute are these booties? I found the pattern while playing on ravelry.

They are Saartje's Bootees & are super easy & super sweet. I started them this morning around 9 ish & was done by 615 this evening. That's with breaks (lunch, potty training for the wee one---we had a set back after Hunter left--ball with Libby, the playground for the wee one, reading stories & chatting with Hunter online).

They're going to go with the Yoda Sweater I made (& finally put some Icord closures on) for BIL & SIL's baby boy due in January. I need to make a hat & may just do a simple 2x2 rib hat to match. I want to make some bibs & washclothes if I have time (shower is in Nov) & if not I'll add those to their Christmas gifts. I'm about 60% of the way thru my feather & fan scarf. I'm going to make 2 more (not as wide for the Wee One's teachers for Christmas. If I dont start thinking about it now I'll never have them done!

I'm in!

I am LaurieC on ravelry. . .

If you're on there as well, please leave a comment w/ your user name so I can add you as a friend.

Or just add me on your own!

*Edited to add* How fun is this site??? I've already got my needles entered & my books! I realized, I have too many knitting books.

Is that possible?

Today could be the day!

Have I ever mentioned?

That I am a Red Sox fan? Born & bred. There is a picture of me wearing a Red Sox uniform when I was about the same age as the wee one. I admit to a silly (sk)Yankees fascination circa 1978 during the Bucky Dent era but it was a school girl crush really.



That being said, I root for 2 teams. The Red Sox & whoever is playing the (sk)Yankees.



Last night I was rooting for the Cleveland Indians.

Bye Bye Yankees! Sorry to say, you won't be missed!
