So I’ve been wanting a dragon for a year. I asked for one for Christmas last year, but they’re kind of expensive. I know you’re thinking, ” where do you buy a dragon?” It’s not that kind of a dragon. I’m talking about the talk to type computer program. You know, the one they advertise on TV around this time of year. Well, I found one really cheap on O.co, so I bought it for myself.
We’re both still figuring each other out, so for the time being, it’s not that much quicker than typing; however, I’m sure as we get to know each other, it will get faster. It’s still tons of fun though!
Anyway, this past Sunday was the Yarrrn Club meeting at InsaniTea. I brought along lots of sock monkeys who needed eyes and mouths. As soon as they were able to see, they fell in love with the giant InsaniTea sock monkey, and had to go sit with him. They were very sad to leave, but they are looking forward to their new homes in Texas.
On Monday morning the girls saw the new additions to our sock monkey family and had to start the quality control. Vada just had to see how many she could hug at once.
Lately I’ve had a few projects in mind that combine crocheting and knitting.I found this great yarn on sale at the craft store. It was just calling out to me, “I want to be a turtle~neck~lace!” So I had to buy it.
Isn’t it pretty? I had a lot of fun making it. Yes, I did write a pattern. It will be on Ravelry. Once I get the link up, I’ll let you know at the end of this post. I’m sure a little photo link will appear at the left side of your screen, also. It may be a week or two though, I have another one in mind and I think I want to put them both together in the same pattern.
On another note, I am thankful. Yes it’s that time of year, and I finally have the reason I’ve been wanting to be thankful: we are spending Thanksgiving with my family in Boston! Ever since the girls were born, it’s been hard to visit my family without having to get a hotel room. However, my lovely little cousin Christine recently moved into a new apartment. She has two kids, and has said that our girls can crash with her kids, and Doug and I can crash in her living room.I am really looking forward to seeing my family, and especially having some quality time with Christine! Of course, when I say my family I mean my extended family, as my parents and brother are too far away to drive to, and we are too broke to buy 4 plain tickets.
Well, my friends, that’s it for now, or it. I’m hoping that I will be writing more, and now that I have my lovely dragon. I guess we’ll see…
I’ll talk to you soon.
The pattern is done! I didn’t wait for the other pattern, as I have a feeling it may just be a pretty drawing on a piece of paper for a while still.

That sounds like a great Thanksgiving! I hope you have fun, Jessie. (I had to type this comment with my fingers…. boo.)
