Thursday, November 9
it's my Friday!
because I've taken tomorrow off - and now I have a fabulous four day weekend, which I am soooo looking forward to!
The other night I was getting my cell phone charger cord from the drawer which houses those sorts of things. I think we need to rename Sabrina "Inspector Gadget" - go Gadget neck .... telescoping into the depths of the drawer!
Now that it's mostly winter here, instead of taking the princess out for a 10-15 minute meander at lunch time, she's content to dash out into the back yard, take care of business and hurry back in. I had the camera today to get a daylight shot of my yarn swatch (more below) and got a few of Sabrina running amok in the snow.
Well, almost got the shot:
Apparently you didn't understand: I want in now!!!!!
And yes, very often the squeaky toy of choice gets to go outside, too.
L@@K!! Actual knitting content:
This is the yarn I'd like to use for the big fella's sweater. The blue is Filatura di Crosa "501" (a superwash merino) that has been seasoning in the stash more than a few years. The green is Sandnes "Smart" superwash merino wool. I am going to use the green for the contrasting hems. I think the colours blend well together - these photos were taken outside at noon in overcast daylight and I find them to be a very accurate representation of the colours. LOVE them!
But for now it's back to the never-ending ripple afghan. I got four more skeins of Decor in the mail yesterday and am well into #15 of 18. I would really like to get the afghan finished this weekend. I think that's a do-able goal. I'm well into this skein after just a few minutes last night, a bit at lunch and a bit after work today.
