My current work in progress:

1. Thistle and Heather Socks (my own design), knit from MacKintosh Iona in the "Maude" colorway, on 2mm needles.
2. Myriad stealth projects.

Long Weekend

It’s Day Two of a 4-day weekend for me. Ahhhhh!

I’ve been working along on the Hanging Garden Stole.

I’m at the point where I need to measure it and see how much more I want to knit before finishing. It’s getting pretty long.

You know, I realized yesterday why I could never be a vegetarian. See my plate at lunch yesterday?

It’s awfully hard to eat food that is looking at you.

Meanwhile, Lucy is helping with the laundry.

    That food plate reminds me of those new Geico commercials where they have the stack of money with the googly eyes attached. Staring at you.

    Miss Lucy is lovely as always!

    ROFL….the pickles and olives got me. Too funny!!!! I agree.

    the stole is amazing.

    That shawl – as my grown kids would say – kicks a$$!! Beautiful work – cannot wait to try it myself. Thanks so much for the pattern (if it’s the one I think it is – I’m across the room from my pattern stash, LOL!)
    So, the inauguration – is it cramping your style? We’re far enough away (in Ellicott City) to be close enough to feel the excitement, but not have the traffic problems – and we’re getting the best seats (in our living room!). And now it’s looking like snow or a reasonable facsimile thereof – a great weekend for knitting (gee, I’d better get started!).
    Take care,

    That stole is scrumptious. As a newbie to lace knitting you have my total admiration.

    OMG – you needed a spew warning on this post! I haven’t laughed this hard in weeks…
    And the Six-Pack + 1 approves of your help with the laundry. It ain’t ready for use without a side of cat hair!

    I think I’d rather have olive eyes looking at me than fish eyes :-P

    In fact, I’ll remember to bring olive eyes to the Fling :-)

    All the vegetables you won’t eat means more vegetables for me! I feel like I’ve been a vegetarian forever, but it’s only been about 17 years.

    The shawl is looking beautiful! Enjoy the remainder of your long weekend. I’m with you – food with eyes is spookey.
