attention knitting world.

This weekend, I got to experience living in a Finished Project kind of world. I completed not just one, but two projects this weekend. Bask in my glory.

First, we've got a wonderful pair of elfine socks. They have more than a few mistakes, but try not to look too closely at them. The short row heels were a little bit bumpy on the sides on my heels, so I will have to fix it next time.

Next up, I present a baby hat finished in less than an hour. I had made the mistake a month or so ago to attempt baby booties, but I never finished the second one. Instead of finishing the baby booties (which were quite ugly in the first place), I decided to make a hat instead. I think this is a way cuter gift than the booties.

I also have social news. I joined the knitsmiths at their weekly meeting at Booksmith in Brookline. Everyone was an absolute knitting knerd! I may have to rethink my knitting knerd status having been in the presence of incredible knitting knerdiness. One of the girls mentioned that she only likes to read blogs about knitting and don't care much for the personal details! Haha... I think knitting blogs are great and all, but the ones I love are the people who write about their regular non-knitting lives as well. I do have a bunch of knitting blogs on subscription, but sometimes I skip right past them because they lack personality. Uh, I don't mean you, I mean those, uh, other knitting blogs. Don't be offended. It helps if I already know you in-person.

And now for the non-knitting section of my blog, for alas, this is not a knitting blog, just a girl's blog. You can click through for any of the captions on these photos.

First a cute picture of Rita from super close up.

My breakfast this morning (light, fluffy pancakes).

I went to a co-worker's house this weekend to do a kool-aid dyeing party with her daughter and her friends. It was quite a success! I really had a lot of fun. Then, my co-worker took me on a driving tour of some old shaker houses she lives near. It was really quite cool. There are a bunch of old restored shaker houses in her neighborhood. People try to restore the houses to their original condition and live in them. They are all privately owned, so there are no public tours, but my co-worker said that they will open their homes to local schoolchildren annually for tours.

 

And a gratuitous self-portrait.
