How much Valium do you think it will take?
I think this scarf was not meant to be. I was doing the stitch below but it turned out to be really really too loose, so I ripped it all out and started over using knit only rows. It was looking fab. Oh so soft and heathery. I had about 10 or 12 inches done. I normally keep my current project in a gallon-sized ziploc so it is ultra portable. Often, I leave it on the back of the couch in my living room (where baby cannot see it). Today, I threw it into the diaper/backpack for my errands. Seth fell asleep on the way home, so I decided to just sit in the driveway and knit while listening to my new Norah Jones (who could qualify as valium). I pull out my bag... I stretch out my knitting... And I lost my freaking mind.
(SORRY there used to be a pic of a WIP with a large hole eaten out of it - don't know where it went)
I have known that I have had a mouse for about a month now but have been undecided what to do. I can't find mouse traps here in Italy - they only sell poison. You know the kind that makes you bleed internally and then go die somewhere dark and quiet until the owners of the house are forced to track down the smell? That kind. I have a 23 month old baby and a dog. Both of whom, I am sure would be happy to eat the yummy stuff. I don't know what I will do but that little mouse's ass is MINE.
Insert handwringing. Somebody rub my back while I rip it out.
