I've been on a finishing spree these last few days. This is rather rare for me, and I'm enjoying the rush of 'finishitis' while it lasts! As I'm about to embark on four weeks of being mostly away, travel knitting has been on my mind. I think I'll take a shawl and a cowl, and if I end up buying something in Tennessee to take up north, so be it! So, the parade of finished items.
First of all, this is a top that is supposed to be made with TOTALLY different yarn, but I had four ball of "I-had-a-crazy-moment-when-I-was-younger-and-bought-ladder-yarn-totally-forgetting-how-much-I-hate-knitting-it", and I wanted to get rid of some of it, so I set off on this mad-cap adaption, and am more than half pleased with the results.
Another project of mine was making my mother a pair of socks with this beautiful yarn. I will be making my own pair some day soon...
I finished four dishcloths for my sister as well (thought I didn't take any picture of them as they are 'vanilla' corner to corner, and I did another beaded bag.
As I hadn't downloaded pictures for awhile, here are a few events I actually chronicled!
Jasper and I after watching Monster's University together.
Jasper launching some rockets with our Voyager nerd friend Mr. Lee
A sign at the Jefferson museum that never ceases to make me smile!
This statue is in the lovely walled courtyard of Excelsior House, also in Jefferson.
The fountain in said courtyard-if I ever get rich, I'm going to make a place like this!
Tomorrow I head out to Tennessee to visit my grandparents, and then I'm home for a few days next week before heading out again. I am so thankful for my Kindle right now!

ok first thing I tho't of when I saw the statue "don't blink!" - I know it's not an angel but that's what I tho't! that garden is totally possible here... the most expensive thing would be the fountain... and i'm sure we could find something cheapish... maybe not but still. the knitted things are lovely! finished several items myself but can't seem to get pics to post right now so i'll try to get them up in Lusaka. have fun on ur trips!
