A little knitting, with gravy. August 1, 2007
I worked enough today to reward myself with a little knitting. Both of the Central Park Hoodie sleeves are underway.
I know you are wondering about the bright pink post-it in the corner of the picture…
It is my crazy notes on how many rows and increases remain. The eagle-eyed might also notice that for some reason I have indicated the time to increase with the letter d. Makes sense to me for some reason….
edit: I have been get a lot of inquiries about the yarn. It is Araucania Nature wool Chunky in color #129
A while ago CraftyGinger tagged me for a meme, and it is about time I participated:
Here’s how it goes – once you’re tagged write a short blog post about your favorite word, and what makes it your favorite. Of course you can have more than one! Be as long-winded as you like! Just make sure to copy & paste this text into your post, and tag four friends!
CraftyGinger chose a repectable word: luminous. Ever since I was tagged for this challenge a few weeks ago I have had the same word in my head. I tried to pick something literary, serious, insightful or at least descriptive, but I just keep coming back to the same word. Gravy.
Why would I claim that my favorite word is gravy?
- I like gravy. It is delicious. It is the dinner equivalent of the ever-famous dessert mainstay – icing.
- I am good at making gravy, and I make a lot of it. Ask anyone that has had Thanksgiving dinner with me. My grandma has had me in training my whole lfe
- I think everyone might like gravy. I have never heard someone say “I’ll have the chicken-fried steak, but hold the gravy.” But I am from Ohio. I actually don’t think I have heard anyone other than myself say “I’ll have the chicken-fried steak” since I moved to California. But that is not the point.
- I have absolutely no bad connotations or associations with gravy… Me and gravy = good times
- It makes an excellent pet name and currently holds the top spot and my most-likely-next-pet-name. Give it a try. “Graaaavvvyyy… Come here you little cutie!” Totally works.
- It can hold its own as a word… When used a slang, it means good. No one ever clenches their fists and shakes them at the sky wailing “Gravy!!” Instead it is only used when someone is pleased and smugly declares “gravy.”
So what is your favorite word? I am sending tags out to some of my commenters: 5thelementknitr, Amber, Kimchi, and Chris. but, of course if you don’t want to participate (sometimes memes stress me out) no hard feelings, let me know and I’ll tag differently 
.
I like to see how others keep track of their patterns. I, too use sticky notes and little scratch makes and such (but not the letter \\
That is interesting. I honestly never think of keeping track of my knitting, even when i really need to – which results in a lot of ripping…
You’ve been tagged again!
Well, I kind of hate to burst your bubble, but I don’t like gravy. There had to be someone out there, didn’t there?
Your CPH is looking great! What yarn are you using?
yum….gravy…
nice choice…
**drool…**
I\’m meme-free, baby – but thanks for the thought!
One of my friend\’s named his dog Corn-on-the-Cob, because it was his favorite food at the time. Several years later, he got another dog and he named it Gravy.
my husband totally orders chicken fried steak (and he loves the gravy).
also I tried the TTV photography – I AM SO HOOKED. I’ll post a couple of the photos on my blog soon. And I’ll think on my favorite word… not sure what it is yet. We’ll see what sticks in my head
CPH is looking really good there. Love that you use a “d” for increasing, I think it makes as much sense as anything, let’s face it, an “i” would get lost with the rest of your notes.
Gravy! Never thought of it that way! Thanks for the tag, I\’ll post about it soon!
Well, that didn’t work. See here:

Ooh, gravy.
I would like to express my thanks to the writer for bailing me out of this particular setting. After browsing throughout the the net and getting tips which were not helpful, I thought my life was gone. Living minus the strategies to the problems you’ve resolved as a result of this guide is a serious case, and ones which might have adversely affected my entire career if I hadn’t come across your site. Your main knowledge and kindness in controlling every item was valuable. I don’t know what I would’ve done if I hadn’t come upon such a subject like this. I am able to at this time look forward to my future. Thanks for your time very much for the expert and results-oriented help. I won’t hesitate to suggest the sites to any individual who needs support about this topic.
Thanks for your helpful article. Other thing is that mesothelioma is generally brought on by the breathing of fibres from asbestos fiber, which is a dangerous material. It is commonly found among employees in the construction industry who may have long contact with asbestos. It is caused by residing in asbestos covered buildings for a long time of time, Family genes plays an important role, and some people are more vulnerable towards the risk when compared with others.
