2007 May KAL - Garden Daffodils Knitted Dishcloth Now that I have seen the picture I see I made a mistake in the border...........and I need to get it in the mail today so I guess this just proves I'm not perfect, lol.

Isn't this the prettiest afghan. It is a pattern for a knit a long from Lion Brand. The pattern is free for another week and you get a discount on the yarn. Don't tell Sunshine, I order too much yarn, but I ordered 10 skeins of Blue Heather to make it for my sofa throw. Can't wait to get started but I am going to take my time knitting it since it is going to be really hot soon here in Texas. I also finished some more dishcloths. These are to be sent for a swap today. It was for 2 cloths with realistic flower motifs. I reallly like the rose the best and will do it again. Here is the pattern creator...I forgot to save the link when I made a word doc with the pattern but I am sure you can google it. Rose Dishcloth

The absolute worst thing happened yesterday. I decided to take a chance and talked myself into going to meet an online knitting friend. (You know how hard it is for me to do things!) We were to meet around noon at the Plano train station. Now I live in Irving and don't drive sooooo..........

8:00am 4 hours...ok that should be plenty of time...it usually takes 2 to 2 1/2 hrs to do the same trip to get to the next station in the ride which is where my daughter picks me up. Plenty of time!!! So I leave at 8am to go to the bus stop to wait for the bus. Get on the bus at about 8:15 and as I ride I knit, of course. After about 15 min. I realize I am going the wrong way...this means I will be riding for an hour to the other end of this bus' route to get on the train. I start to get off and go the other way but with bus waits that can be an hour it seems just as good to just ride it out. I get off an 35 min. later the bus pulls into the north Irving train station and the driver informs me that she doesn't go any further because she is going to the bus garage so I have to get off and get on another bus that will take me to the train station. As I am sitting there watching bus after bus pull in only for them to say 'garage' also so I ask the station attendant when there will be bus running again and he tells me not for another 30 minutes!!!! Ok, be patient.....that will be 10:35, still have time. So I knit some more. 10:40 I get on the bus that will take me to South Irving and the Trinity Express train to downtown Dallas and the DART Red Line train to Plano. It takes 39 mins to ride to my transfer point. I get over to the train station and low and behold the train isn't coming for another 30 MINUTES.....Long story shorter... at noon I am on the Red line train to the Plano station but I am still 30 minutes away....still in downtown Dallas. I arrive FINALLY at downtown Plano at 12:40 but I don't see anyone knitting???? Oh crap! Now, I don't have a cell phone so there is no way to call her........so I sit down and knit.

We never did meet up. I took the train back at 2:30 and got home at 5pm. At least there were no delays on the way back. I was sooo disappointed and feeling bad for Hedy. Of course, my crazy brain in going 90 to nothing telling me how stupid I am and 'see, this is why you don't leave home...EVER'. I have the worst time doing things. Seems like something ALWAYS happens that leaves me feeling like I can't do anything right. Don't worry about me..I won't quit trying. It will be a while before I try again but I will try. I am determined to be 'normal' like everyone else. Just wish life could be more simple once in a while. sigh..........................
