Ain't No Cure for the Summertime Blues

Thanks for all the comments on the douchebag. Reassuring that there are normal people out there who would have been just as horrified at the way these people were acting.

So it was 71 degrees this morning in Fresno at 6 am. Summer has officially arrived! What did I do to celebrate? Dye some wool sock yarn!

I named this yarn is Solstice. It's a mix of Black Cherry, Cherry, and Pink Lemonade Kool-Aid. It has some subtle variations in the color which I really, really like. I wound it up last night but didn't have time to upload the photo. Next time.
More truckin on the Cropped Cardi, until I met the same 'Ren-Fair Sleeve Syndrome' that Aline had succombed to. I'm spot-on with gauge, but it needs about 20 fewer cast-on stitches. I'm not exaggerating at all! Why oh why are sleeves my new arch-enemy? With the ability to stop my otherwise speedy progress dead in it's tracks?

The sleeve has sense been frogged


Kaci and I had quite a time in Santa Cruz this weekend. I got drunk and confessed to her my 'dirty little secret', i.e. the website, because she is going to be featured a pattern that is going to be published soon and she'd find out anyway. Hi Kaci! You might actually be reading this!


Finally, this is probably dull to most of you but this afternoon I am going to see The Break-Up with some co-workers for Staff Appriciation Day. Why is this note-worthy for me? It's probably the first show I've seen in the theater in 2 years. Because I HATE going to the movies. Hate it. No one at work believed me when I said I would just go back to the office after lunch. Argh.

Started some simple socks to work on during the God-awful 2 hour span of boredom movie.

And I thought I was the only one who hated seeing movies at the theater. I'm with you 100% on this one!

i feel like experimenting with dying so i thought i'd ask!
