It's true. My very first manicure. Aren't you proud?
For anyone interested, the color is OPI's "The Grape Lakes" from their fall/winter 2005 Chicago Collection.
The wall color is "Lost Atlantis" by Behr.
It's gone for a spin in the washing machine, and looks much different now. As soon as the sun comes back out, I'll take a final photo.

I can't get the light blue quite right, but this is pretty close to the right colors for the rest. Tried to get as much variety as possible from the five colors I had, to account for various tastes. I hope I succeeded!
(Green one still needs to have the back completed and joined, and then it's time to finish the loops!)
I put this mosaic together, and realized that I have 1 more project on the needles that I forgot about. So it's 8 projects after all. Yowza!

This is my "ooh la la, it is tres pretty, oui?" face. As you can see, I don't speak French.
One slouchy beret, based on "Le Slouch" by Wendy Bernard. Knitpicks City Tweed HW. I may have made it too slouchy, though.
Our apartment complex has a brook running along one edge. There's even a little bridge over the brook as your drive into the complex. Usually it's dry as a bone, with maybe a little trickle after a shower.
We've had so much rain recently, ending with three huge storms today. After the final storm passed, the sky was blue but the brook was busting its embankments. We've never seen it this high. Of course we had to walk over and get a close look.
Normally, from here, there's about a four foot drop to the bottom of the dry creek. This time, it was just an inch or two down to rushing water. See here for a broader view.
1. Step One, 2. Step Two, 3. Step Three, 4. Step Four
After careful consideration, I just couldn't stand how different the color was of the left front of the sweater compared to all of the other pieces. So in a matter of minutes, I ripped out about 4 nights of knitting, back to the ribbing (I admit, the thought of reknitting the ribbing didn't appeal - I'll live with the colors in that bit of the sweater).
I've already completed 2 pattern repeats, so with a little perseverance, I should be done with this piece by the weekend.
I decided against the flip top, since I didn't want to cover up the cables.
