It is the early hours of Saturday morning. I survived another week. It was close, but thankfully there was a lack of Barry Manilow so I think it's going to be okay. heh.
Thankfully rather than Barry there was Ok Go with Here it goes again. *L* (The song not the video)
Much better than Berry to be stuck in ones head at the end of the week eh. ;^)
The reason I'm up so early is because my throat (hello Tonsils, please fuck off!) is killing me. The smoke from the recent fires is making it a bit more irritating to breathe. Thing is I kinda need to breathe on a fairly regular basis. I have a real doctor appointment thingy this coming Thursday so lets hope they give me some magical cure for this nonsense.
Now for the Big Ass Bug the honey took me to see yesterday. We had to run a few appointments at the north end of town so he made sure we took a turn past this. He knows I carry my camera with me all the time and love to find interesting visual objects with which to amuse myself. He asked if I could use it for my sky thing and I told him no I'd use it for Eye Candy Friday. He, having no clue what the heck I was talking about said I was cute and that was that. I didn't have time to post before I ran off, as Vikkie would say, to play yarn with some friends, so here it is today. Notice the sky was a lovely blue yesterday morning. By evening it was windy as hell and looked like rain. Or at least smokey grey. (No Rain, None Expected)
When we first came upon the huge ass bug sculpture it looked like a giant spider.

Then I thankfully realized it only had 6 legs and I felt a bit more enthusiastic about it. *L*
It kinda makes me think of Spider Man, like something he might fight. :D
I have to wonder if this big black bug got into a fight against Vikkie's Rainbow Barf Bug which one would win. *L*
*pokes Vikkie* Love you. *kissy face*
*pinky wave*
Yeah it may yet be a little too early. *L*
In knitting news I finish this hat last Saturday while knitting with MonkeySocks, Florrie & Vikkie. It's nice to actually finish something. I still need to wash it though. Details Shmetails!
The photo was taken a little bit ago. So yeah no natural lighting, but thems the breaks kiddos.
I started this hat last year... when who knows?! Maybe late November. I think I remember sticking it on a pumpkin. But that may just be my twisted imagination. o.0
Yarn: Lornas Laces. Yummy soft fun to knit.
Colorway: One of them! (No clue what I did with the label...)
Needles: US 9 - 16" circs, and Vikkie lent me some DPN's to finish it off and get it done.
Top: Spiral. Looks kinda neat.
For: Gift For Friend
Tomorrow I'll either be knitting on the honey socks, My tenth Dulaan project: a kid hat or maybe Duckie Hat.
Notice the sweater isn't on the list. *GRIN*
I finished knitting the sweater last night. Now I just need to weave in my ends and wash & block it.
*Super Happy Otter Dance*
I think I'm going to start my own sweater Monday or Tuesday. And my own pair of Socks for my upcoming travels.
Wheeeeeeeee!! Exciting times at the House of Otter. :D
Hello knittyOtter, I was up early too. Love your bug--bug

Hugs!!!
