H is for Hole in One

H is for Hole in One

Ok, so I admit, I struggled with 'H' a little bit. And i'll admit, i've never actually hit a hole in one. In fact, I only took up golf about 2 months ago. But it's fast becoming a favorite activity of mine (even cutting into knitting time!)


There's this great driving range by my house, and luckily pops had a friend who's son had outgrown his old set of clubs so voila! Delia is in business! My dad and I head up there once a week for some father-daughter bonding, as well as knocking up divets and getting really frustrated working on our swings and unwinding.

I'm going to be playing in the University-wide tournament in 2 weeks(!), which should be nothing short of comical because as of current, I am only getting in about 1 good shot out of every 15 I go for. Did I mention I am playing with the Dean? Yes... pure comedy should follow.

Stay tuned folks, this could get interesting.



PS - Thanks for the encouragment on the yarn binger yesterday. I really have no idea what happened; I woke up after lunch with my head on the keyboard and my debit card in my hand. See sidebar for updated projects and uses of said yarn.

Sanctions

Today I was overcome with weakness (and a nice tax return, and the sale at Webs, and the need for performance-based rewards....) and I got a little carried away.

Self-imposed sanctions are needed.

Let the games begin....

Karabella Cardi

Deb - thanks for your advice - very insightful. If anyone else is making this, she's got a lot of helpful photos about the assembly of this thing over on her blog. I'll wait until I have all the pieces sewn up before deciding on the fate of the collar - maybe if I can figure out how many stitches I would end up with, I can pick up that many around the collar. We shall see.

Here's the cardi as of 4/25/06 at 7:30pm

I finished off about 1/2 of the 2nd sleeve last night, and hope to cast on for the final front panel tomorrow. Despite everything, the actually knitting of this thing is going quite fast. I'm liking the Shine Worsted for this project. This is going to be a PERFECT beach sweater.

I noticed this yesterday when I was leaving campus. I've never seen them all out grazing during the evening communte. Yes, we have a full functioning sheep unit on campus. Cool, huh?
