5.29.08

It's Thursday and I'm still on my 3-day weekend hangover. Not a literal hangover from too much wine (although there was a fair amount consumed, none-the-less), but the joy of sleeping and lounging and house fixer-upping that makes coming back to work HARD. But yes, there was celebrating because nothing says "Memorial Day" like:



Yes, the BBQ was on Sunday night, but this was at 1am. And yes, our husbands are 30 (or almost there). Beer pong apparently isn't age discriminant.

In other news that doesn't involve drinking: I am currently LOATHING my Ballet Cami

All the knitting and seaming is done, and it fits, but I can't find an edging that I like AT ALL. Single Crochet looks messy. Pick-up and Bind-off gives a weird seam. I've seriously tried about 15 times and finally just threw it across the room before stamping off to bed. It has defeated me.

However, the hubby asked me to start a project, and how can you say no to that? A good friend of his just had a baby, and he said I should make a little cardi. DUH. I'm obviously a little slow here because I ALWAYS seize the opportunity to make Baby Cardis!



Basic top-down seamless based on f. pea's Super Natural Stripes pattern, with Blue Sky Organic Cotton. I love kiddo sweaters because of the instant gratification. I started it yesterday while I was monitoring the Hole-in-One competition at the Faculty-Staff golf tourney, and am already plugging through the body. Awesome.

See, I am not the only one that knits at golf tournaments. Richard and I went to the Buick Open at Torrey Pines this past January and I was knitting a sock while watching Tiger Woods. He walked right past me within reaching distance, I know he saw my sock, but he was a little busy!

That littel stripy baby cardi looks cute so far! Maybe post some modelled pics of the ballet sweater, and ask for some edging suggestions? It's hard to know what you're up against without seeing what you're relaly working with...: )
