The Curly Knitter

I was “called out” the other day by Julia who implied that perhaps I was only claiming to be knitting Celtic Dreams because I had yet to post pictures.  She has a point, and this meant of course that I had to post a progress picture today!  Gotta show some proof!

Now, before we get to this picture, I want to admit that my progress here is rather pathetic.  I started this with Bethe in January but put it down to work on some other things in between.  I knew I was going to post some progress today and had fully planned to work on it last night so at least a little more was done (i.e., BOTH shoulder saddles at minimum would have been nice) however I had a little SNAFU.

My lovely husband was out for the night doing his music stuff and I came home after having dinner with a friend wanting nothing more than to get in my pj’s, grab Celtic Dreams, plop in front of the tube and work on it while watching Grey’s (well maybe more like during commercials but still, good intentions nonetheless).

To my surprise, when I got to the top of the stairs and turned to get in my bedroom, I walked right into a closed door.  No big deal, I’ll just open it.  But it wouldn’t open.  It was locked.  The previous owners installed a doorknob on this particular door that you can lock from the inside and the outside, (in the hall where I was) was only a key hole (requiring a “real key” not a skeleton) and no screws to unscrew on the actual door knob, no hinges, nothing.  We used to keep the key outside of the bedroom but when painting the hall, moved the key.  To the top of the bureau, inside the bedroom.

My careless wonderful husband didn’t consider that the door could possibly lock or that the lock accidentally turned.  He was out being the rock-star that he is not reachable.  I sat on the hallway floor for hours.  I had MANY screwdrivers, pick things, bobby pins, paper clips, knives and a hammer.  HOURS.  I couldn’t get it.  When he came home after midnight he just broke the door knob so we could get in.  A total genius bonehead no?

So anyway, this is all I have, and I blame it completely on Peter.  Now how’s that for an excuse!?

It is a little tough to see the cable detail but you get the idea.

Needless to say, I will be working on this over the weekend…it’s on the list, I thank Julia for nagging reminding me, as I’m newly inspired to get to work on this one, and I’ll have new pics for you next week! 

Have a great weekend everyone!
