this week i figured out it's cheaper to pay parking tickets in birmingham than to pay for parking if you work here. *knock on wood.* pretty rad.

i'm still working through the happy hooker lace gloves, and they are quite a doozy. the pattern has many mistakes in it, and even with the pdf of fix-its from the editor, it's still frustrating. i took my frustrations to the blogs/message boards last night, and to my delight, i found many similarly-frustrated crocheters across place and time. the pattern makes us all want to throw things at the wall. it's good to know i'm not alone. i figure winging it is better than following the pattern at this point, and i'm unsure if i will even make two. my mom said it's just not the kinda of thing you should be crocheting. i might not even finish one at all at this point, abandoning it instead to rip out half that sherbet shell scarf in attempts to put a big keyhole [vertical! it's gonna be hard] in it.

other things that are cool include my sister being on martha stewart soon. they went to tape it today, so i think it will be on within the next couple days. !! i'll keep you posted.
