Sprummer!

Today is the final day to get a name vote in for the Fresno State Bulldog contest. Get votes in by 11:59pm!

Golf
My arms are KILLING me after going to town with the 5 metal last night, trying to conquer the art of hitting off the ground. I finally cleared 110 yards, dead-straight, but unfortunately that isn't something I've been doing with any sort of consistancy. I tried to get pops to snap a photo of my now-perfected body form, but he was too busy breaking clubs over his knee and cursing at the ball (kidding).

Trials and Tribulations of the Ball Winder
I haven't been knitting too too much this week, for a couple of different reasons. First, there was that late night at Bunco on Tuesday. Then this debaucle on Wednesday night:

This is what an oh sh*t moment looks like

1.5 hours later

Success!

This is the part where you might be asking yourself "why are you winding those pre-wound balls into yarn cakes?" "Because it's prettier that way", I say.

Actual Knitting
I have been struggling to all hell with finishing this sock

Yes, you are correct. It looks almost the exact same as is does here (1 week ago). It's the only thing I've had with me during the week for phone calls, lunch, spare moments, etc... but this is NEVERENDING. Next socks definitely need be be on size 3 or larger needles.

And this keeps staring at me.

Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran Tweed in Brindle, from this awesome sale at Webs.
This is going to become Vee, when I finish one of the other two sweaters I am working on. Seriously, I am already so in love with this yarn. I am resisting buying more while it's freaking $3 off per ball. I mean, I'll use it someday, right?

Zen

I leave you with this. Sprummer (Spring-Summer) has finally arrived in the Valley. None of this "in the middle" weather... we go straight from 60 degrees to 80 around here! Vintage Days kicked off last night, so for lunch today we'll be wandering Fresno State and eating way too much food. Nothing says Friday like Tri-Tip! (Check out Pat Hill flipping Pancakes!)

"Why are you winding those pre-wound balls into yarn cakes?"

Because the cakes don't roll on the floor when they are put down flat.
