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.

One More for the Ravelry Board

I am HIGHLY embarrassed to say I've started another sweater.


Knit Picks Andean Silk on my grandma's old size 6 straight needles.

I think I was in a knit funk because I haven't turned out anything but st st for like the last 2 months. I saw this sweater and was like OH - LACE! Oh - Scallops! Prrrretty!

I am also embarassed to say I am JUST now getting around to putting stuff from the wedding (4 months ago!) away.

Lots of organization and persistance going on around here, I tell yah.

Rain Rain Come My Way!

It is overcast outside. Do you know how happy this makes me? What makes it even better:

Sitting inside (while some nice men build my backyard), knitting with Cascade Pima Tencel, snuggling with the animals, listening to the Allman Brothers. And flowers. Definitely flowers:
