Big Ball of Domesticity and The Crack Sweater

Yeah...well...the best laid plans and all that...I decided not to go to Rainbow Fleece Farms after all today. I'm in a spendy mood today and I could get in a whole heap 'o trouble in the yarn barn down there. Best not to poke at The Fates too much, so I decided to do some chores around the house and run some errands in the hopes that I will have all day tomorrow to goof off. I took Ben for a loooong walk, went to the grocer, baked some goodies, and did laundry; all the things a good little girl must do in order to not feel guilty while she spends tomorrow reading the paper, doing the crossword and going to the movies!

I baked Banana Chocolate Chip Wontons. I saw them on TV and then looked on the net for a recipe and then finally tinkered up one of my own. They are good-not too sweet...fun to make. I have a friend coming over later so I'll test them out and will see what the opinion is there. The recipe's over on Molly Bee's Kitchen.

I have also been working on my sweater as my hands will allow. I overdid it a bit last night, insisting on knitting even after my hands totally fell asleep.This was after receiving excellent advice from Mrs. Sable not to do so. And she's been there and done that so you'd think I would listen... but the lure of the Crack Sweater was too great. It's been so long since I did anything but mindless knitting that I am so grooving on this pattern. I accidentally knit through an entire episode of 'What Not To Wear' before I remembered that I hate that show, such was the concentration!

It's not easy to take her picture; the Crack Sweater, she is elusive. The wire on the circ that I am using is made out of some industrial strength Flubber Stuff and will not uncurl and lay flat no matter how much I swear at it (and I tested the very limits of swearing lemme tell ya) but you get the general idea.

Here's a little bit of a closeup. Anyway. My friend is due to arrive soon so I'd better git going. Hope you all are having a wonderful Valentine's Day!
