I was checking out the new knitting blogs, and came across this at A Knitting Knutty.
It's my challenge to myself to not take on other's garbage (sort of like toxic people).
Have a great night all!

Reflections on Wednesday
Yarn Update:
No luck locally for the Magic Stripe in the Jelly Bean Stripe color, but I have found a couple on different web places (amazon/e-bay) that carry it still (I think it's going to be discontinued soon) and want to thank all for the tips. So, the monkeys will stay on the needles for a while longer.
Since I'm on the lookout for the yarn, I'm trying some toe-up socks from the Sensational Knitted Socks (have you checked out the KAL?) book, but I'm using cotton ease in terracotta (yes, another Lion Brand yarn), so they're a little heavier than with the sock yarn (it's a DK yarn). But I really like the toe-up method. Makes more sense, somehow than cuff, leg, heel, and so on and so forth, but I can see the virtues of knitting both and of knowing both methods. These particular socks are going to be cuff socks or short socks, whatever you want to call them, hoping to get them done before vacation. (pict to follow sometime later this week, I promise)
On another note, I must apologize to those blogs where I have lurked (I really hate that term), let's see, where I have only read and not left a comment, no, too many words, hmm...where I was a wallflower -- yes, I think that works. Okay, to continue, I must apologize to those blogs where I was a wallflower, I love reading you guys, and I have my favorites, but I, for reasons unknown to me, did not leave any comments this week. I love seeing all the socks, hats, scarfs, shawls, sweaters, mittens, etc that you all produce and when you show me (and everyone else who reads) those things, I get inspired to keep on knitting my socks, my sweaters (if I knit them, you notice I don't yet?), my hats and accessories...so, I guess what I'm trying to say here is, thanks and keep on knitting (even if I don't tell you personally)!!
Have a great day!!

Senior Discount !
Okay. Get this--I went to Kohl's today. Walked the entire store with small one and all I left with was a pair of $4.00 earrings. But wait, it gets better. The cashier (who was not much older than me) gave me the senior discount. The SENIOR discount!!! Mind you, I'm not a senior yet, give me about thirty years or so. But it was great. I've never gotten a senior discount before. I got those earrings for under $3.00. (And if you read my tag meme list, number 4 pops out real fast at you.)
I wish I could have found something more...but oh, well. It was fun.

Reflections on...
Okay. So, I've been out of touch for a few days and after catching up on most of my regular blog reads, I feel just want to say that I'm glad you all had great weekends, either of knitting or not, and those I tagged, again, I really, really hate doing stuff like that. I feel like I'm imposing. So, if it happens again, I'll be glad to answer the tag meme, but I'm not sure I'll pass it along, so to speak.
But as I was typing that, it seems to me that the tag meme is a way to get other people to read your blog and get a little different view of who you are outside of the knitting and possibly family (if you write of that) aspect of your life.
So, I think that it places us all outside of our comfort zone and makes us step outside of our regular thought processes, if even for a minute or two.
Enough of that. Have a great day everyone.
