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!
