Short-sleeved sweater

I finished this today!



Updated to add:

While definitely not form-fitting, the sweater is not as boxy as it appears on the table. You also get to see me slightly cross-eyed ;)

Pretty in pink (of course ;).

I'm still afraid to attempt a sweater.

Hehe. It's not that bad. It does take a lot longer than a hat. I'd recommend short sleeves because long sleeves are an ordeal for some reason.

have the tops you've knitted had a boxy fit? or are you able to tailor them a bit?

Liz - slightly boxy. i tailored one a bit but it ended up being skintight so i've backed away from that. this one actually looks more tailored on than in the photo; i'm not sure why. maybe b/c i spread it out on the table...

Does your shower curtain have writing on it? :)

Liz - it does, actually. It says things like "naked and happy" and "I'm so clean" ;) D picked it out.

Great looking sweater! And you're right, it looks different on - as you said "not boxy". I can't believe how much knitting you're doing. Do you get callouses??

Thanks :) No calluses, i think those are just for guitar players ;) The worst thing to happen to me, knit-wise, is eyestrain.

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...
