JessaLu Knits (and Spins!)

<p>Welcome to knitblogging hell.

<p>I’m knitting like a madwoman but, since it is <strike>Chris-freakin-mas</strike> that time of year when all of my knitting is in the gift form I can’t take pictures or share since the knitting is for gifting.

<p>Even though I swore I wouldn’t knit a gift again.

<p>Ever.

<p>Yeah, right. Like I’d give up an excuse to buy yarn. Soft yarn. <a href="http://jessaluknits.yarncourtesans.com/exit.php?url_id=3&amp;entry_id=15" title="http://www.theknittinggarden.com/ro-cashsoftdk.htm" onmouseover="window.status=’http://www.theknittinggarden.com/ro-cashsoftdk.htm’;return true;" onmouseout="window.status=”;return true;">CashSoft</a> and <a href="http://jessaluknits.yarncourtesans.com/exit.php?url_id=4&amp;entry_id=15" title="http://www.theknittinggarden.com/db-cashmerino.htm" onmouseover="window.status=’http://www.theknittinggarden.com/db-cashmerino.htm’;return true;" onmouseout="window.status=”;return true;">Cashmerino</a> to be exact ;o)

<p>I’ve been a bad, bad girl ;o) But at least the purchases were for OTHERS so I can’t feel too guilty, right?

<p><i>RIGHT?!?!</i>

<p>Oh, and it HIT 60 GODDAMNED DEGREES here today so guess what? I finished my sweater. However, there is no way in H-E-double-hockey-sticks that I am putting it on me until the temp hits the low 40’s – at least. Sorry, people, I will pass out and trust me it wouldn’t be pretty.<p>——————————- <p><i>P.S. Since Blogspirit seems to like to crap out once every two weeks I’ve decided to go the self-hosting route so not only am I knitting like a madwoman I’m learning CSS, etc and making my brain throb. Anywho, look for changes coming up – I’ll also be changing my RSS feeds so if I decide to move again, those of you who keep track of me through Bloglines won’t have to make any changes ever again – promise. Thanks for your patience and your readership – it’s much appreciated! )</i>

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!  I have much I am thankful for but no time to write about it since I have a ton of people here (one of the things) and a dinner to get on the table!
