Recent FO

I actually finished something! I managed to finish and wear a few times the I-Cord vest -- done in Misti Hand-dyed worsted alpaca. Pictures to come, I promise!

But on the other hand, the recently started objects include -- the Sideways cardigan from the Spring Vogue, a pair of Gansey style socks, a nearly completed fair isle baby sweater from a Rowan book (which was given to the mother yesterday in typical knitter style -- you know "look at this sweet thing I'm making for you and the baby, but you don't get it just yet -- give it back so I can finish it for you!")

Still working on the Bristow -- that too will have pics to come soon!

On the weather front - spring day today!

Back from Augusta, GA, where we visited family and sweltered -- I honestly do not know how I managed to live there for nearly 10 years! It was good to see my brother -- I really do miss him -- but there were a couple of incidents that got my goad up. But I am trying to be a "better person" and tried not let them get me into a foul mood.

I did get a lot of knitting done -- I managed to knit nearly the entire back of the "Singles and Doubles" tank from last years Knitters. I am using Top Soft in a rosy, dusky purple color.

(I don't want to hear it -- I know it is yet another project, and that there are several UFO's that I should be working on -- but didn't you hear? Not only did I manage to nearly finish the back in only 2 1/2 days, but as of right this second, the back is finished and I am about to start the front. That counts for something, right?)

Tomorrow is the 4th of July -- we really don't have any plans, and I'm kinda liking that -- may take in a movie, do some more knitting (you never know, I may actually complete this project -- have to wait and see about that cowl-type neck).

I'm a process knitter -- that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

My life is the weather

Well, I guess it simply must be admitted -- I decide how I feel to a fair degree based on what the weather is like -- if it is sunny and nice, I generally feel pretty good; if it is grey and dreary -- I feel like crap. Today is sunny -- a little cool and quite breezy, and even though I am still having some not so light cramps, I think I feel pretty good. I wonder sometimes if people who live in big cities are so afflicted by natures caprices?

Haven't picked up the pointy sticks as yet, but I have been reading the new issue of Knitters; did the crossword (well, some of it anyway); and played a few games of Freecell. I really want to go and mess around down at the Southside, but I just don't know if I am up to that, especially since I will be taking Mother shopping tomorrow. I'll give it another 1/2 hour or so and then decide.....

toodles.
