Yesterday was election day. I didn't vote. I was planning to. Even drove toward the voting place. Changed my mind and went home instead.
I've said this before (and I'll probably say it again), I grew up in an extremist religious cult. My parents joined it when I was just a baby and I was in it until August of 1997 when Sweet Hubby and I finally got the courage to leave. It is the best thing we ever did.
We were not allowed to vote in our church. The reasoning was that we were not citizens of this earth, but of Gods kingdom. Besides, God chooses the leaders of this world, not us. So we had no business voting. From that point of view, I can understand why we didn't vote. However, it was always something I wanted to do.
Now that we're no longer part of that way of thinking, I registered to vote. I was quite excited. I could hardly wait for election day. My first big election was the 2000 Presidential one--with George Bush, Al Gore, and the big Florida hanging chad debacle.
Wow, is voting ever a big disappointment. I got to the polling place I was assigned, they handed me my ballot and.... what? There was stuff on that ballot I knew absolutely nothing about. I didn't even know it was going to be on the ballot. That was a huge surprise. I chalked it up to the fact that I'd just registered a few weeks before the election and because of that I'd missed out on whatever info must have been given to everyone else. I did the best I could with what scant information was on the ballot, and turned it in. I was quite proud of myself and wore my little "I Voted" sticker for at least a week.
Since then voting has become a hassle. Why? Because of the severe lack of information given to voters. When I registered I had this crazy idea that all the folks with stuff on the ballots somehow informed all the registered voters--I figured maybe by mail--about their propositions, proposals, and positions of office they all wanted and why I should vote for it/them, and opposing groups would send the same info as to why I shouldn't vote for it/them. That would give me something to start with and I could do some research from there. Ha! I was so naive.
That doesn't happen. Time and time again election days have come and gone and I haven't even known what's on the ballot until I read it. It's not for lack of me trying to find out either. I search the internet, talk to friends, scan the newspapers. The only things I hear about are the things like running for Mayor or State Representative, something big like that--where we get to see every corner in town littered with dozens of the little campaign signs. (Sweet Hubby calls them sign gardens.) It's very very very frustrating for me because I want to vote, and I want to make an informed choice for my vote.
So, what happened yesterday? As I was driving toward my assigned polling place I kept thinking about the fact that I did not know of one item that was going to be on that ballot (or even if there was going to be a ballot). Not ONE! I had no idea what was up for the day. I thought to myself, "Why am I doing this? I can't make a decision on who or what I'm gonna vote for if I don't even know what's going to be on the ballot? I won't know a damn thing about any of it. How in the heck can I make an informed decision on where to put my important vote under those circumstances? This is a joke."
They say that it's important for us to get out and vote. But no one gets us any information so we can choose what we want to vote for. That tells me my vote isn't worth anything, at least, not here where I live. Would it be so hard for the sponsors of bills, propositions, levys, and whatnot to get the voter list and send something in the mail to each registered voter explaining the whats, whys, and wherefores? It should be required! I mean, where is all that campaign money going anyway?
They say voter apathy is at an all time high. It's not apathy folks! It's frustration. In the past few years I've talked to lots of friends and family who are registered voters and didn't bother to vote. It wasn't apathy. It was a severe lack of information. I frequently hear the question "Do we have anything on the ballot this year?" in conversations. That is a crying shame for a democratic country.
I promptly turned around and went home.
I wonder if it's like that in the whole country, or just here?
I did go to bead group yesterday. I worked on a beaded ornament cover in black and silver. It's coming along nicely. It was just me and C too, so we had some good conversation.
Morgan is doing great! He's actually playing with his toys, and running around in the yard. He hasn't done that in ages. I have my Morgster back! It's sweet!
Today I have Spinning Club and Knit Wits. Gonna be a busy busy day.
Have a good one.

My Knitting History Part II
The Scarf Years
I think it's important to mention that one knitting lesson from my father is the only knitting lesson he ever gave me. When I got to the end of my first complete scarf I asked him about binding it off. He replied that he couldn't remember how and that's why he bought me the How to Knit book. Remember, I was 9 years old. It's a testament to how much I loved knitting that I persevered and stuck to it under the circumstances. I didn't know anyone else who knit, so I had no choice but to use the book. For some reason, though, I found learning from the book easy for me.
For the next several years I knit scarves. I became well known for my scarves. Anyone who knew me, or knew someone who knew me, got a scarf made by me. I made scarves for 2 reasons. I liked them, and I was scared to make anything else. Doing anything with a stitch pattern, or any shaping at all was incredibly daunting to me. It was a long time before I got the courage to move on to something else.
Once in awhile I did ribbing or stockinette, but mostly I knit my scarves in garter stitch with 3 colors of stripes. The local grocery store carried a fairly nice acrylic yarn called Love Knit that came in every color under the sun, and then some. I spent most of my allowance and babysitting money on that yarn. I loved experimenting with different color combinations. I made so many scarves that I actually wore off the blue coloring on the tips of my needles. My knitting got incredibly even in stitch construction too.
I still remember 'the pattern'. I'd made it up myself.
Materials: One 3.5 oz. skein each of 3 colors of worsted weight yarn. (A,B,C)
Tools: One pair size 6 knitting needles.
Finished measurements: Approximately 6, or was it 8, inches wide by 5 feet long, plus fringe.
Gauge: Not important (Never heard of it at the time so have no idea.)
Cast on 50 stitches with color A. Knit 20 rows. Change to color B. Knit 20 rows. Change to color C. Knit 20 rows.
Repeat this stripe pattern until scarf measures 5 feet. End with an A colored stripe.
Bind off. Weave in ends. Add fringe to ends if desired.
I actually started getting orders for scarves. People payed me money for MY scarves. It was very exciting. I didn't make much money. Just enough to keep me in yarn. Eventually, though, I saturated the market and ran out of folks to make scarves for.
In my senior year of high school I finally got the desire to make a sweater.
Next time, Part III, The Sweater
Have a great day.

My Knitting History Part I
I don't have anything to write about yesterday because it was a quiet, boring day for the most part. So I thought I'd write about my knitting history.
When I was 9 years old my father took me down to the local Payless Drug store. He bought me a pair of 14 inch blue Boye size 6 knitting needles, a skein of really ugly worsted weight acrylic gold variegated yarn, and a little book with knitting lessons in it. When we got home he showed me how to cast on and do the knit stitch. Then told me to knit a scarf.
Up until that day, I did not even know my father knew how to knit. So this was all quite a surprise. For years and years I wondered how and where he learned to knit because he'd never told me. My father is not one to talk about himself. However, whenever he did talk about knitting, it was stories from his army days about knitting socks while sitting in a fox hole. So I assumed that's where he learned. It wasn't until just a few years or so ago I found out he'd learned to knit from his father, who learned from his father, who learned from his father, on down the line. (I had no brothers, so I got lucky.)
Needless to say, I LOVED it! I worked on that scarf until I ran out of yarn. Unfortunately, I needed a second ball to finish it. I hated the color so much I never got around to asking for that second ball-so I never finished the scarf. Instead, I talked my Mom into getting me 2 skeins of purple and white variegated (see? I've always loved purple). With this new yarn, and my little How To book, I learned the purl stitch. I knit a whole scarf in stockinette stitch, and used the book to learn how to bind off. I was HOOKED.
I used to carry my knitting around with me in a little basket. I even took it to school and worked on it on the school bus and during my lunch break. It took weeks and weeks for me to knit that scarf. I don't remember what the other kids thought about this. I must not have cared.
Over the years I have often wondered why? Why did he decided that day to teach me how to knit? I think I might know the answer. Earlier that year I'd been hanging out in the Cherry tree in the front yard, eating cherries. The branch I was standing on broke. I fell out and landed flat on my back, fracturing it. The fact that I can walk around today is a miracle.
Injuring my back severely curtailed my physical activity, pretty much for the rest of my life. I think my Dad taught me to knit because he saw that I needed something to do while sitting around. Whatever the reason, I'm thankful for what he did because knitting has given me many many hours of joy.
Have a great day.

Arrrrgh...Ye Be Walkin the Plank Matey
I seem to have neglected to post a pic of the finished Buccaneers Booty Socks. I did finish them, over a week ago. How in the heck did I manage to forget to post them? Maybe the stress of Morgans situation shoved it out of my brain. Anyway, maybe this will make up for the missing November 1st post. Here they are:
Pattern: Buccaneer's Booty Socks
Size: Womens Medium
Yarn: Schoeller + Stahl Fortissima Socka in Black, Natural, and Red.
Needles: Size 2 and 3 circular Lace Addi Turbos
Changes I made:
1) Pattern calls for DK weight. I used fingering weight and knit the mens size. They came out perfect size womens medium.
2) I changed to one size larger needles for the fair isle section in the second sock. This made the tension perfect for not too much stretch, but not too little either. I wish I'd done it for the first sock cos it's just a little tight.
3) I used black for the main body of the sock cos I didn't have enough red yarn.
Not too bad for my first fair isle socks. I'm thinking about taking the fair isle section out of the first sock and redoing it properly though. It wouldn't take long. Maybe a couple hours. Hmmm..
Have a nice evening.

NaBloPoMo 2007
There is this weird sort of 'contest' thing that has started this month called NaBloPoMo 2007. That stands for National Blog Posting Month. The challenge is to post something every single day of November on your blog. I've heard a rumor that prizes are involved, but have as yet not been able to confirm that. I've decided to join it for the remainder of the month. It just sounds kind of fun. If I'd heard about this before the beginning of the month, I'd have a November 1st post, but I didn't, so I don't.
I doubt I will be able to come up with interesting posts each day, so I apologize in advance. (That's called 'covering my butt').
I've spent the weekend beading and knitting, mostly. It's cold and dreary outside, so I have no desire to get some of that fresh wood smoke drifting around the neighborhood into my lungs. Especially if it's cold.
Last night we went to a birthday party for my sister-in-law Diane. She's 60 now. Happy Birthday Diane! I had a great time. It was all family, and tons and tons of really good food. Course, when is there NOT tons of good food at a Park gathering? I took my swim suit cover along with me and managed to knit, tink, knit, tink, then reknit the same 4 rows the whole evening. I knew that I'd come to a point that I needed to change because of an earlier change (I raised the placket 2 inches), but was having a hard time figuring out exactly where or what that change had to be. I blame that on the large (I mean LARGE) glass of truly scrumptious hard cider Diane gave me. Oh yes, and the Pumpkin Cheesecake. Mmmmm.....Pumpkin Cheesecake..........
Have a great day.

Great News for Morgan
I heard from Doctor Bloxam yesterday. The results are back from the lab about Morgans tumor.
It's benign.
HOORAY!!!!!!!! (Doin' the really happy dance!)
The Garter Rib sock. Yes. There, on the other hand, is a whole 'nuther problem. The order I placed for the second ball of yarn has been canceled because their web site lied. They do not have that color in stock. What's worse-it's a discontinued color so they can't order more.
I checked all my favorite places to buy yarn and only one place has the color- Patternworks. They claim to have it in stock. I've ordered it. However, Patternworks web site is well known for not being completely truthful so I don't have much hope. Especially since I didn't get an order confirmation in my email box. Yikes!
What's a desperate gal to do? I check Ebay, though when I checked last week there was nothing. Lo! What have we here? ....A gal in Canada has one up for bid in the very color I need-yes, definitely, it says Navy color #15, and what's this? A "Buy It Now" price. Hmmm...much lower than Patternworks price, even with shipping included. I've hit the "Buy It" button....... Hello Paypal-long time no see (Not!). How are you today? Working correctly I hope? Lovely............
If I end up with two balls, so be it. I need that yarn!
In the meantime, I've cast on the I Love Gansey sock-in shades of red. After all, November is ticking away and I need that 'N' next to my name.
Have a good day.

Fridays Feast 11/2/07
I did it. I met with someone in person who I've met on the internet. Despite my nervousness at the start, I had a wonderful lunch with Marguerite, a fellow knitting blogger. I did feel a bit like a chatty Kathy, which I do when I'm nervous. I'm sorry if I talked your ear off Marguerite.
Thanks for meeting with me Marguerite. It was wonderful to get to meet you in person (and thanks for leaving the ax home--heh heh, a joke. Honest!). I hope we can get together again.
After lunch I took her to Harmony Yarns, my favorite of the yarn shops in this area. We both bought sock yarn-heh heh. All in all it was a great time. I'd do it again. Knitters, in general, are a great bunch of people.
Last night daughter Ruth called with some totally unexpected news. I have a new Grandkitty! Apparently the apartment she lives in allows pets. She and her roommate have wanted a kitty since they first moved in and finally could not stand it any longer. They went to the local animal shelter and adopted Linndamon, a ginger and white tabby ("with the cutest white toes!"), 6 months old, female, and "the sweetest thing!" The name is a little unusual. Her name was Lindsey. They didn't like it. They wanted to call her Cinnamon. But decided to meld the two names together and came up with something unique. We'll get to meet Linndamon over Thanksgiving break. Ruth is bringing her here when she comes home. (I see an angry Silver taking his feelings out on my doggies in the near future.)
Now on to this weeks edition of Friday's Feast.

Aurora Borealis in Green
I am in Christmas ornament mode. At this time of year I get the strong urge to create something for the soon to come Christmas tree. I love Christmas trees. For most of my life I wasn't allowed to celebrate Christmas, or even admit to thinking the trees are pretty, because I grew up in a religious cult that was very anti-Christmas. In 1997 Sweet Hubby and I found the courage to leave it. Now I can have all the Christmas trees I want. I get very creative each year. Sometimes I choose a color theme (like purple, or blue), or maybe a subject theme. There was the year I knitted yards and yards of furry sparkly 'garland' with Novelty yarns. This year I'm going for good ol' Multicolor.
Here's the Aurora Borealis ornament cover I've been working on, all done. Believe me, the picture does not do justice to the sparkling beauty of it. (Click on the pic to enlarge.)
The pattern for this little gem can be found in Karen DeSousa's book Accent On: Celestial Series. I made some substitutions. First of all, instead of the Czech fire polished crystals, I used Chinese faceted round crystals. I substituted large sized bi-cones for the tear drops, and instead of using 12mm bugles, I used size 3's, and I substituted the long 30mm bugles with two size-3 bugles with a seed bead between them. I wanted to make this cover completely with beads that can be bought at Bead It so the boss could put it on display and not have to answer the "Where did she get that?" questions. I'm quite pleased with it.
I have finally made it past the 2 unruly rows in the swim suit cover. I've split for the placket and am on my way to the armhole shaping. The directions say to knit both sides at once, but I never do that because invariably I get messed up and make a mess. So I do one side at a time and take copious notes so they'll match.
Today I am going to do something totally crazy. I have made arrangements to meet a fellow knitting blogger in person. Marguerite, from Michigan, author of the Stitches of Violet blog, is coming to my area to visit family, so we're going to meet for lunch today. I admit I'm a little nervous, mostly cos as a rule I'm a very shy person. But I'm also very excited. We've been reading each others blogs for several months now and it will be fun to put a face to her.
Have a great day.

Hangin' In the Bed
He has a long line of stitches along his abdomen, but they don't seem to be bothering him. Best of all NO DRAIN TUBES. I was expecting at least a couple, but as it turns out, they aren't a good thing in this case. Hurray! Doin' the Happy Dance!
Morgan is looking so good. His eyes are clearer. I'm convinced he must have been in pain before the surgery but wasn't complaining cos it was in his eyes. He's hangin' out in his favorite bed baggin' z's right now. So nice to have him home.
So, I managed to get the netted cap done on the Aurora Borealis. What an intense project! But it is going to be so gorgeous when it's done. I'm using shades of green and topaz. I'm taking it to Bead Group today to work on the fringe. I am going to make a substitution for the 30mm bugles and use 2 or 3 size 3 bugles in their place. I have a motive for doing this. I'm going to ask to display this in Bead It. I'm trying to use only beads that can be bought in her shop. All the crystals I've used are the Chinese faceted round ones she carries. I've discovered I really really like these crystals. They are very sparkley.
On the knitting front. I knit back those two rows I'd tinked on the swim suit cover, only to discover I'd knit the same mistake again. So I've had to tink them back again. I think a small rodent sacrifice to the knitting gods is in order. I must have a chat with the cats.
Off to Bead Group. Have a great day.
