I've got an embarrassing amount of WIPs, and have really only been working on Elemental Boatneck. I've finished up both the sleeves and am almost ready to divide for the front/back on the body piece. I sucked it up and ordered a 7th ball of yarn, because I knew if I didn't add at least 3 inches of length to the body I'd never wear it.
If you click to enlarge that photo (look to the lower right), you will see the battle wounds the body piece sustained when I accidentally dragged it half-way across the parking lot at Whole Foods on Tuesday. Apparently the yarn was still in my purse as I exited the car... oops. I tried to spot clean it, but I'm hoping the Euclean can take care of the rest.
On a final note, do you know how hard it is to knit and watch TV when you have this staring at you, sending you body language that screams "PLLLLLLLLLLLLEASE throw me the ball!"
Please ignore how ridiculously dusty the coffee table is. It's amazing what some flash photography can bring out!
Last weekend I got to see a dear friend from college that I haven't really spent any time with in ages! She and her husband are new parents and finally got around to taking a little mini-vacation and we were able to show them the cabin and Yosemite. It was a spectacular day - overcast and unseasonably cool - perfect for some hiking. The park was crowed as always, which always reminds me why we almost never go there despite our cabin being 1 mile away. 
After the day in the park, we headed back to the cabin and gorged on spaghetti and garlic bread. It's fabulous when you know you've gotten enough exercise in that calories don't matter! From there is was a blur of fabulous wine, knitting, and waking up Sunday to the sound of rain. Pure bliss, and a very relaxing way to spend the weekend.
