birthday skirt preview
here is a peek at my birthday skirt. all that needs to be done is the hemming:



do you love my pasty white leg??? this was my very first project involving a zipper. it went fairly well and i am very pleased with the skirt. it still needs something...not sure what.

dear seamus: i hate you. i love you. i hate you. i love you.



one thing i am hating about this sweater is the yarn. i know. it's brown sheep. which i love. but the little bits of white wool are GETTING EVERYWHERE!!! combined with the fact that my hands are generally sweaty, and the house is incredibly humid...it's just not a summer project. i've been doing one or two rows at a time, and then breaking. i need something lighter for the summer. i just can't handle it!!! but i do love you, dear seamus. i promise that i will wear you this fall. maybe.

my latest ebay score arrived in the mail. my favorite cat:



i grossly overpaid for this pattern, but truthfully, i don't care. i intend to knit myself a bagpuss this summer. oh yes. he will be mine.

i leave you now with a little birdy i picked up. the nest is real. my mom found it on our front lawn while visiting one day. it was built, but then scrapped. perhaps by a crazed lazy bird, much like myself. so it's been sitting on my window sill above the kitchen sink. and now it has a little friend to keep it warm.

Hi Becca!

Yes, today is my birthday! I'm 27! So I made myself a skirt. I have to hem it up this morning.

I originally bought a heather grey color in the brown sheep yarn, but i didn't get enough, and then i couldn't find the same dye lot. but i am happier with the deep red. so i guess it all worked out.

i have been catching up on your blog as well! guess what - i was a theatre major in college! we should definately chat about musicals sometime!

Kristi
