JessaLu Knits (and Spins!)

…I managed to get a few photos of the hat ;o)

But first, I’d like to thank Bloglines again for screwing up again. I’ve had to console poor RR all evening because Dobby got 17 more birthday wishes than he did. This only happened because fricken Bloglines didn’t see his birthday post no matter how many times I pinged them (of course, I told him it was because there were no hat pictures, because we all know you guys only come here to see my damned fine knitting…and spinning *grin*). Damn you Bloglines! Now I have to make him another cake!

*sigh*

(I’m joking - he is very happy with the birthday wishes he received and would like to thank everyone :o) )

Anywho - here he is, all hatted up:

…and the bored ‘when the hell are you going to be done taking pictures of me’ shot:

I made The Hat with plain ole Cascade 220 in some kind of blueish-gray color that has been discontinued. You should have seen the look of panic in his eyes when I told him to never, ever, under any circumstances put it in the washer. As he staggered away in shock, I think I heard him muttering something about vacuuming it when he gets home from work (yeah right, like he knows where the vacuum is *snort*) ;o)

…going on 14 because I swear sometimes he has the sense of humor of a pre-teen ;o)

<7E8EFEA0> (ignore this, still trying to claim my feed at bloglines. My freedback on this is that it sucks and I’ve been trying to do this for like six months and it never works and I’ve never gotten any actual helpful tech support on this issue but my feed keeps falling off the face of the earth and I’m hoping that if I can finally claim it I won’t have to wait THREE DAYS for them to reset it for me. *end rant*)

If you haven’t already guessed, today is RR’s birthday! I knit him a Shedir (link is to a .pdf file - Knitty’s 2004 Breast Cancer Awareness issue) hat (which he loves) but, get this, he won’t let me take a picture of him wearing it. Which makes no sense, because he let me take this picture:

and this one:

Here’s a hint: Look below the quilt - proves the whole pre-teen sense of humor thing, doesn’t it? ;o) (and sorry about the bad picture, old camera, etc.)

So what the hell is wrong with a picture wearing an (if I do say so myself) exceptionally well-knit hat? *sigh* Men make no sense sometimes ;o)

Happy Birthday - I love you! :o)

P.S. November is a birthday-heavy month for us. I swear, this is it for birthdays for a while!

First, I’d like to thank Bloglines for the shock I received on Friday morning when my unread list went from a very manageable 46 to a heart-stopping 562 because of your ‘resetting’ or whatever behind-the-scenes complicated thingy you did on Thursday night. You did not warn me/us that it would re-publish everyone’s posts for the past MONTH. Nice job. Thanks.

Second, guess what? I finished something! :o) Here are my very fraternal twins:
