Alone but It's not Too Bad

You guys are so funny when you talk about the L.A. Yoga Scene. Hah! First of all, let me tell ya, there ain't a whole lotta "L.A. Yoga Scene" going on much around here these past few days, because yesterday, I was the first or second one to enter the classroom for Hatha 2 and spotted a guy laying smack dab in the center of the studio all covered up with a cozy red blankie, a purple eye pillow, and sawing wood the likes I haven't heard since my long-gone grandpa used to come stay at our house. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out if he was leftover from the last class' relaxation session or if he was really tired and immediately fell asleep a few minutes before I arrived.

So he was snoring like all get out, there in the center of the room, and as the rest of the class settled in as far away and around him as they could, he kept on doing what he was doing all snuggled up like a bug in a rug with swollen adenoids something awful.

Once class got started, he kept snoring. He snored his way through the beginning relaxation (I figure he would wake up by this time), through several vinyasas, and then when we were doing some standing balances about forty minutes later, the snoring stopped. Next thing I know, I peek on over and there he is in tree pose in the center of the room as if nothing ever happened.

So tonight HWWV is working a bar mitzvah and Girlfriend and I will be on our own. Many weekends are like this now, and although we do miss him, she gets to watch a video and I try to get some knitting done. I have a few projects due for Knitscene and another one for Blue Sky Alpacas, but I think tonight I'll make another beret for my sister, kind of like the purple one that I made that fits her so well, the one with Malabrigo. I have a skein of natural Malabrigo and some Trendsetter Dune with a bit of gold glitz (see the pic way above), so I'll knit the two together and make her another beret. I'm not usually for the glitz, but my sister, Dooze, is a girly girl and asked for it specifically. Here is a picture HWWV took of her and her husband recently. I have wanted to show you this fabulous picture for a long time, but she didn't tell our dad about her giant tattoo until recently. Now that he knows, well, you know how these things go.

BTW: I am still considering ads on the site and have read all of your comments (thank you!). I am exploring many options and if I do have ads, they will be carefully selected and nothing will flash or sparkle or dance across the page. I'm not into the glitz, remember? Oh, and thanks also for your comments and emails about the beret I just made out of Rowan Spray. It was super easy, so if you bug me, I'll write out a pattern for you.

That may in fact be the hottest couple I've ever seen in my entire life..while being absolutely adorable at the same time..What a fabulous pic. I would buy whatever they were selling.

(and a very pretty tattoo I might add...ahem...I meant tough...tough tattoo....but pretty ha!)

[pixie]

You sure have the strangest experiences staying fit of anyone I know.

[stacey]

Hotties indeed! I giggled at your yoga story - similar thing happened in my practice a couple of weeks ago - I think this woman's uji breath was just like snoring though - how relaxing is that? Not!

[Suzanne]

Please post the pattern -- love it very much.

[theLady]

That picture is beautiful.

What a bizarre yoga story! It's so odd how people seem to be in completely different worlds sometimes.

[Jeanie]

bug bug bug bug bug!

Your yoga stories crack me up. What is up with the strange yoga man?

Your sister and her hubby are gorgeous! Love the tattoos!

[Stephanie]

They sure are a picture perfect couple. I LOVE her tattoo. Very cool...and it never changes does it with dads? I mean....it doesn't' matter how old you are...they still get kinda weird about that kind of stuff. I had my tongue pierced years ago and my dad refused to look me in the face while I was talking. Once I took it out he started looking at me again LOL. And I was 29 at the time!!!! Silly.

[Erica]

Great yoga story! And I love your sister's stargazer lily. What a kick it must be when the four of you guys hang out together.

BTW, I liked your little interview in Knitscene.

[Shannon]

I would love to see your sister's beret when it's finished! I'm really not a girly-girl but I seem to becoming more of one since I turned 30. And I am bugging you for a pattern write up :) And I absolutely adore your sister's tattoo! They are an adorable couple and HWWW's quite talented!

[Jen Sirois]

Does this constitute bugging? I love the yarn! Not my choice, nor yours for that matter, but it is nice.

P. S. The beret pattern would be nice! :P

[Elaine]

Great picture! Love the angle, it actually flatters them!

[Mariss]

Great picture of your beautiful family memembers! Hilarious about the sleeping yoga dude. Good luck figuring out about the ads!
