My current work in progress:

1. Zig-Zag Gansey, my own design, knit from Lion Brand Cotton-Ease in the "Blossom" colorway, on U.S. size 6 (4mm) needles.
2. Myriad stealth projects.

While Lucy lolled about at home yesterday:

I was at Knit Happens, helping with inventory. Hence, no blog entry.

We worked really really hard, but we did take a break for chocolate cake!

That would be my birthday cake, baked from scratch (and I understand there was a double boiler involved) by Kristine. And it was great!

I fondled a lot of yarn yesterday and did not knit a single stitch.

    Does “helping with inventory” involve buying all the yarn so they have less to count? Mmmm… hope so. Happy belated birthday!

    MMMMmmmm, what could be better for a post-birthday celebration than fondling yarn and yummy chocolate cake?
    May your year be filled with decadent pleasures such as those…

    Well, if you couldn’t knit the inventory, at least Kristine let you eat cake! :-)

    To fondly fondle (yes, I know it’s a split infinitive!) yarn where no man has fondled before…
    Happy Bday, Wendy!

    I see Lucy was helping cover the new pillow in cat hair while you were busying playing with yarn.
