So I finished my sweater today:



The neck was a pain in the neck. I feel like I'll never want to knit a V-neck again. Of course, I probably will.

I saw the cutest dog today. It really looked like a friendly bear...black, with an abundance of fur. Everyone was stopping to pat it. I was hugging it and hanging out with it when the owner/father said, "Gotta go to work! Sorry!" I realized they can probably never go on a straight line from A to B without being stopped. Another girl was patting it before me and I saw some more women smiling at the doggie. It's probably a bonanza for the guy if he plays his cards right ;)

I still haven't decided which dress to wear to the reunion. I'm leaning toward the black. I guess I'm feeling understated. Also, an author I like is coming to the reunion! She graduated 10 years before me. I'd love to talk to her, but I don't want to stalk her. Hmm.

That is the pinkest sweater I've ever seen! I can't believe you did a whole sweater! I don't think I have that much patience...

Great sweater!

And here I was feeling so pleased with myself for finishing a dishcloth this weekend.

Pretty pretty! I can't wait to see what you make next. :)

I'm currently working on some fingerless gloves as a Father's Day gift for my dad. It only took me two times of ripping out the cuff to get on a roll. ;)

Molly - it actually knit up pretty fast, 10.5 needles. I definitely wouldn't have the patience for a DK weight sweater ;)

Lisa - it's funny, i was thinking about making a dishcloth. i was wondering if i could bear to use it to wipe up stains though.

Rox - fingerless gloves are cool! wouldn't mind seeing a picture of those :)

At the rate that you knit, you'd have half a dozen dishcloths done by lunch. And I swear, they clean dishes better than any store-bought cloth I've ever had.

I echo everyone's comments - the sweater is great! Very impressive.

BTW, I would not want to knit a dishcloth and use it - not after all that hard-work and effort.

If the autour is coming to your reunion, it is not stalking. If you crashed her reunion, it would be.

Yes, having a cute dog can be a bonanza for the single guy. I've had a lot of fun when walking my sister's Shepherd mix. He's my buddy anyway (and I'm his favourite person), so we always ahve fun. But dog parks are an added bonus.

The sweater does indeed ;ook great, but... it is very, very pink. 'Pink, pink, pink, pink' to quote Nick Drake.

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t...

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.

Eventful

A lot has happened today already. I went to meet D for lunch and along the way I spotted a Boston terrier -- one blue eye, one brown. I stooped to pat it and then I heard an ear-bruising screech!! Everyone's head whipped around. Even the dog jumped. A taxi had squealed to a halt and there was a delivery boy on its hood. Somebody yelled, "Call an ambulance!" The boy seemed fine, even hopping on his bike to finish his deliveries -- but everyone persuaded him to stay. I took out my cell phone but another woman was already giving details to 911. After the woman finished the call, I was satisfied that help was on its way, so I continued. There were a bunch of rubberneckers/supporters gathered around the boy, so he wasn't alone. The dog stayed too. I was shaken by this, of course, but then something amusing happened. A few blocks later, I knelt down to pat a beagle tied outside a coffee shop, and it let loose with this big mournful howl: AROOOO. Everyone smiled, including a...
