| I'm ferklempt! |
Had such a great night tonight! After work I went straight to the Wendy's/Tim Horton's at the corner of Sources and Hymus 'cus Cynthia from the MKG arranged a meeting for people interested in helping out with the upcoming fair in October. I didn't feel like going home first then back out, so even though the meeting didn't start until 7:30 I got there around 6:30 and was planning on just hanging out. Turns out Cynthia was already there (with someone else- shoot I need to start learning everyone's names!). I was going to get a snack at Wendy's and then go sit down so I ordered a fruit bowl...and waited...and waited...after 25 minutes I finally asked for my money back. Everyone had to wait, they were so far behind! To give you a better idea of how messed up they were: while I was waiting a man came up to the counter and asked for the manager. He told her that he'd ordered a whatever burger with no onions. He opened up the burger wrapper- there was the bun, lettuce, tomato, onions- but no burger!
I wound up getting a cheese croissant from Tim's. Knit my way through the meeting. Yannick came to join us 'cus he wasn't home last night and was trying to spend some time with me to make up for it. Oh, and the whole ferklempt thing? (To those non-Jews it kinda translates to overwhelmed, emotional, mishkabibbled...ok I can't really translate it well.) One of the MKG members (I think her name is Daniella, again I really need to learn all the names!) brought her son Colin (or Collin). He's 14 months old. And adorable. And spent most of the meeting in Yannick's arms. [insert double-take here]
Picture me stunned!
For those who don't know him, Yannick isn't exactly a kid-friendly person. He'd sooner hold a cat than a baby, and runs at the first sight of drool or spit-up. Which is why stuff like this is such a good omen for the future!
[insert big, relieved grin here]
Now I have to go finish the Duffle Coat so I can deliver it tomorrow. I called the Wool Shop this morning and they have more of the buttons, so I can attach the last one there. I finished the button bands at the meeting, so I just need to sew the side seams, sew on the hood, pick up and rib the hood ribbing and sew on the buttons I have.
I feel really horrible that the pins I used to block the sleeves turned out not to be stainless steel and wound up rusting. I hear that Oxyclean gets out rust stains but I don't have any, so I'll have to give it as-is and just let them know. :(
To Shell: Is his pronounced Ah-ron or Eh-rin? My bro is Eh-ron. Funny thing is at his old doc's office when he was a kid there was a girl with his exact name! Erin instead of Aaron and our same last name but with a K instead of a C as the first letter. So we always had to specify if we were booking appointments for the boy or the girl. :)
To Danielle: Thanks for posting! :) I hope you find those patterns eventually...or are really good at "winging it" lol. I had a crocheted sweater like that once. At least 3 years went by between starting it and finishing it, but by that point all that was left was the end of one sleeve and the seams. Took me 4 days to find where I'd stashed the pattern. |
