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.
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.
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.
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!)
This is how I signed all of my notes in high school, and the white boards in college. (Explained here.)
Starting another hat for Mr. M. I finished the one I started a couple of weeks ago (remember this picture?). But I think he looks better in hats with fold up brims. So I'm making another one.
I am easily influenced. Mersidotes mentioned this book (Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn) on my rereader photo, and I was so intrigued by the description I had to pick up a copy. I started it last night, and haven't been able to put it down. It took all of my willpower not to read it at every stoplight on the drive home. I finished it about a half hour after I took this photo.
Thanks for the recommendation, Merrie! Now to scour the bookshelves for some of the other books that were mentioned..
I decided against the flip top, since I didn't want to cover up the cables.

I love everything about this - the color, the pattern, everything. I'm definitely making another one!

The Jennie the Potter mug I ordered a few weeks ago arrived yesterday is already being put to good use.
Also, this manicure is wearing like iron. Barely any tip wear. I think it helps that I chopped my nails off last week.
