When the going gets tough, the tough get knitting!

What do you do when you just can't get to sleep at night?  Why, you knit of course!  Last night I was awake long after my regularly scheduled bedtime. I had a lot on my mind anyway, and I had also just returned from the funeral home.  A friend and coworker's husband died earler this week and last night was visitation night for the family.  It had been a long, sad week and I was too tired to be sleepy.  So I decided to knit.  And since I needed to perk up my spirits, I decided to make a frilly little confetti colored boa for another friend's little girl who turns 2 this month.  The cheerful yarn and rhythmic clicking of the knitting needles did the trick, and one hour later, I was finished with the little boa and ready for the Land of Nod. This morning, I convinced The Illustrious Ms. Precious to do a little modeling for me.  Although she was not thrilled with the idea that I had not finished weaving in the ends, she reluctantly agreed to the indignity "just this once."  We should be grateful.  After all, Divas demand perfection!
