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.

YOP: Week 36

     I didn't get any crafting done this week.  I did receive my swap package from the My Favorite Things swap.  Here's what I received: An ample stack of fabric squares.  Most are knitting related, the rest coordinate well.  A book that looks interesting, The Vampire Knitting Club, one of my favorite candies, a skein of Alpaca yarn in a glorious color and cat chair feet.  My daughter commandeered a couple of them already.  I'm going to put a set on the clothes chair in the bedroom.  All in all it was a fun swap.  I also signed up for the Halloween Mini and got my partner assignment.  I've got some ideas brewing for that one.      Since my knitting mojo still hasn't returned despite the change in weather, I picked up a book (kindle) series instead.  About two years ago I read an excellent science fiction romance; The Viridian Priestess.  I know I talked about it.  It was my favorite boo...

YOP: Week 34

     I did some crafting this week, but it was all for the swap.  I was nearly out of interfacing so I ran over to The Quilt Shop in Watertown.  I'd been there once a couple of years ago and thought their prices were very good considering they are independent and Joanne and Hobby Lobby were both in Watertown at the time.  They have really expanded and have a tremendous selection.  They have more novelty type fabrics now, which is what I prefer for my bags, so I will be going there much more often.... probably too much.  I got interfacing and I found two prints that were perfect for my swapee.  I really wasn't expecting to find what I did.  I sewed a bag with those two prints and two of the fabrics I picked up from Walmart.  The Walmart fabric was acceptable.  Not groundbreaking, but decent enough that if I find cute prints I'll probably grab them.  I finished the handknit earlier today.  I want to steam block it yet, ...

YOP: Week 52

      As the year comes to a close, I've been looking at my queue and starting to plan out a few projects for 2025.  After having to cold sheep for the majority of this past year, I'm going into next year with some guidelines.  When I purchase yarn, I really want to stick to purchasing for specific patterns.  I took advantage of Miss Babs annual gratitude sale and purchased specifically for two patterns.  I also want to continue to knit from stash whenever possible.  I have paired up yarn with patterns for several and they've been moved up in my queue.     I'll have more time, so I plan to participate in several swaps in 2025.  I'll be getting yarn from these so I'm going to try to stick to swaps only for "unplanned" stash acquisition.  I have several carry-over projects I didn't get to this year, which seems to be a theme every year.  So tentatively this is my meager list for 2025: - Butterfly--Papillon  with Urth Ya...
