Random Things From My Day

Here are just a few random photos and comments of the day:

Notice how Riley and Lewey's facial markings are similar!

My newest knitting bag. Go here to get your very own. This one is the Carpetbagger Briefcase/Purse, measuring 12" by 17" by 5", and it's plenty big, but not too big. They have a larger one which is much more expensive, and would be a little too large to actually carry around.

I spliced in the final ball of the Icelandic lace shawl. Now that the end is in sight, it's starting to get fun again. I hardly want to put it down.

I love this stuff for lace knitting. Put a little on your hands, rub it around, and that pesky sticky yarn just glides through. Real unscented talc, not that fake stuff; you can get it here.

Wintergrass starts tonight. We have festival passes for the whole weekend, so I'm just ecstatic. John, not so much, though he humors me. We've finally come to a solution. I show up Thursday night at the beginning, and don't miss a note until Sunday evening. He comes and goes as he pleases, and we're both happy.

While you're here, check out "What I Am Listening To Now" on the sidebar. There are some of my current favorite bluegrass artists over there.

Now, to go get the knitting ready. I think the Cobblestone sweater will be perfect: miles and miles of stockinette in the round. That Icelandic stole won't be in the bluegrass knitting queue, though. I'm not a complete idiot.
