i did not get the picture of honey taken last night. we were on the roof until dark and then ate and that was about it for me! oh yeah, i did knit a bit more so, tonight i am going home after SnB and will take a picture of honey. i have started the center back (i am knitting the cardigan as a solid piece instead of as 3 flat pieces).

Hey Amie, i think i fixed the problem with the links! let me know if they are still hidden. i want to redesign the whole page, actually, and use my own design rather than a template, but i have to get off the roof first!

oh geez. i am at work and freezing; actually shivering here! all the more reason to book it on that cardigan! and then some fingerless gloves!

i wish my pants really were on fire!

the long-awaited picture of the ‘japanese scrubbie’ from the dishcloth duo pattern is here!. it was SO easy to make and SOP really likes it! ok, he has not actually used it to wash dishes; he says it is ‘too nice’. i told him i’d knit him a spare that he can hang on the wall.

i made it with an acrylic yarn i bought at michaels for $1.50 and i believe i can make a few dozen more from that skein. i don’t really like the feel of the yarn, but then i don’t like doing dishes either, so why not double my pleasure?

it’s been a long week with work and a long weekend on the roof helping SOP. ugh. can’t we just get it done? we have most of the felt up now and have started on the shingles. i am becoming a master shingle slider. my mother will be so proud!

coming tomorrow: pictures of honey so far! (you know you want to see it)

i was supposed to start my pilates class today. i am trying not to be a blob, you see. well, i got up at 5:00 am so that i could get my stuff together and leave at 5:45 to be there and ready at 6:30 am. i decided to have a cup of tea but, as per normal, forgot about it and needed to reheat it. So, i put the cup in the microwave and let it heat for another minute. i took the cup out of the microwave and walked about 7 steps when the water started gurgling and shot up from the glass into my face! AUA! so, i spent the next half hour applying ice packs to my face and not walking to my pilates class. it feels like a sunburn, very odd and disturbing!

yup, they are done! and my feet are happy!. sure, they are very generic, and i have a few ideas on how to custom fit them a bit more, but my feet were so happy as soon as i put the on that they started dancing around! it’s almost as if they were red, not grey.

click on the picture to see my feet at the disco!

why, it’s a camera! yes, it’s time to post some photos. past time, actually. i had hoped to get something done in order to post photos, but it looks like it will have to be an ‘in progress’ kind of day.

our first offereing today is the almost completed pair of socks:

that is followed be a lovely detail of the heel area which so fascinates me:

and lastly, as we approach a cooling autumn (and an ever cool office), we have the first 7 rows of “honey” the cardigan of Rowan’s Summer Tweed:

not keeping me very warm yet, but it will get there!
