Team Stargate Command

     So I made Team SGC, woot!  I probably should watch through some to refresh.  I might jump into the later seasons of Atlantis, I seem to have missed out on some of those eps.  T4 starts the same day the new ED opens at SJH.  I have a feeling I'm going to need the therapy after that day of work.  St. Joseph's Hospital is going through a $220 million expansion right now.  The new Emergency Services Building was 72 mil of that.  Its the largest green project in central NY.  Its a pretty big deal, I guess.  All I know is that its going to up the patients seen in the ED by 20,000 per year and the lab has not hired more people.  Maybe all those numbers don't mean too much in the grand scheme of things.  I feel like 10 extra beds and a better layout will speed up things and increase our workload enough to warrant extra people.  Especially noting that we're understaffed to begin with, but hey.  What do I know, I just do that work, in the most screwed up layout ever conceived. 

     On to more funner stuff!  I've finished a few items.  Mainly another kids hat and two dishcloths.  I've also made progress on the cursed mitten.  I'm up to the start of the thumb gusset and if I would get of the computer and knit I'd probably finish it faster...

      There, more dishcloths.  I am also almost done with another potholder/hot pad/trivet.  I just need to whip stitch the seam.  Once the battery in my camera recharges I'll have more pics.  You would think that owning two cameras would ensure at least one was operational at all times... I guess not.  Although if I kept AAs on hand this wouldn't be a problem.... oops.

Knit Crochet Blog Week Day One

Day One (Monday 11th May): If You Were Yarn. If you were a type or brand of yarn, which would you be? Are you a classic pure wool? Is there extra tension but a bit of bounce in you because of your high twist? Would you be more like a high-maintenance, strictly hand-wash fluffy angora or a ‘bring it on’ acrylic, bravely heading into the world of possible baby-sick laundering disasters knowing that you will always come out bright and unharmed?      If I had been asked this question back in January of 2014 I think my answer would be very different from the one I'm about to give today.  Since that time I have started my second new job and have moved my entire household to a smaller city.  Granted the move was what I wanted, but there has been a transition period for me after leaving everything I'd known and become accustomed to behind after 12 years.  I've made new friends twice, gotten used to different policie...

Year of Projects: Week 45

    No post last week as we were all down with a nasty stomach bug.  I finally started feeling better on Friday.  I didn't get very much done because of it.  I didn't even get out of bed last Sunday.  I was able to finish the  Sunset Hat .   I think it turned out nicely.  I was worried the Glitter and the Sunset colorways would be too similar, which is why I put the English Rose in between them, but I think the combo works pretty well.  I finished up one more dish cloth; another Star Fish type so I won't post another identical picture.  I've made one more dishcloth since the Nerdopolis tournament ended on the 30th.  We're in a break month now.  I had hoped to get a few rows done on my Holden shawl, but that didn't happen.  I'm going to try to get it done this month.     There is a fiber festival in June, the CNY Fiber Fest, so I'm starting to plan for that.  I went last year and it was very fun....

YOP: Week 30 Lewis County Fair 24

      I wanted to do a quick update about the Fair.  We kept it really low key this year.  I entered 10 items into the fair and we only went one day to just look around.  We refrained from rides and excessive amounts of fair food.  So, onto my entries: I entered: a sewn tote bag, which I think I blogged about a few weeks ago.  It got first place then went on to win Best in Show. Sewn Tote with Best in Show ribbon I also entered the beaded shawl I finished in June, that also won a blue ribbon and went on to receive Best in Show. Beaded Holden mixed among other Best in Show items Six of my other items also won blue ribbons: Liara's socks Mandy Cowl Killer Queen Cowl Clean Windmill Dishcloth set Sacket's Harbor Mittens and Drops of Spring Fingerless Mitts The second place ribbon I received for my Hum Beanie is also in this picture.  Then I received third place for Sunset Hat. The first and second place entries for this class are in this picture ...
