FO and UFO*

Here's the sock I just finished knitting:



And the blanket I'm still knitting:


*Knit-speak for "finished object" and "unfinished object."

Nice sock! I've just gotten into them, too. But the blankie really takes the cake - so cute! Where did you get the pattern?

Ladypeter - thanks! The sock was DK weight so I didn't have to go blind :) The blanket pattern is actually from the Lion Brand website. http://cache.lionbrand.com/patterns/60241.html

Suzy - isn't it cozy?

Good think you explained the FO and UFO- I thought you were trying to offend me.

;)

p.s. that blanket looks so soft!

Ummm... is there a second sock in the works??

And what is that your foot is resting upon?

Love that you show us your knitting! It makes me want to learn... : )

There is indeed! I started it right away so I wouldn't fall victim to one-sock syndrome.

My foot is resting on an air mattress...sometimes guests sleep there.

UFO - Unfinished object is better than unidetified furry object.

Edgar (after Poe)? Enrique (You're a Lucille Ball fan, right?)?

Cute sock! Also, I like the air mattress. I first thought it was a couch or ottomon - but then I read the comment and found out it was an AM (I thought I would keep with the acronym theme!).

Caro - thanks!

BC - believe it or not, I've never seen an I Love Lucy episode all the way through. And the baby's name is much more pedestrian than your guesses ;)

Elsa - that's very consistent of you :)

I told you my outrageous guesses are for my entertainment, and possibly yours.

I have a good idea what E is, but don't want to say it yet... I still have some silly 'E' names yet.

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...
