  • What do you do when you've overloaded the blender and you can't lift it to pour out your daiquiris?  You grab a straw and say "Glasses?  We don't need no stinking glasses!", as Lauren graciously demonstrates:



    Isn't Lauren's new kitchen pretty?  I snapped a photo of the washcloth I made her as a housewarming gift; I forgot to take a pic before I gave it to her:


     


    The picture on the left shows the color well; the picture on the right shows that I knit the center too tightly and therefore the petals are cupped instead of flat.  I kind of like it that way--it's cute and floppy--but I really need to pay attention to my gauge.  The pattern is from "Weekend Knits" and the yarn is 100% cotton chenille.  I don't remember the brand, but it is the one called for in the book, which I do not have with me at the moment.  I bought a skein for myself when I bought Lauren's yarn, so one day Katy will have a washcloth of her own, but right now I have too many WIPs to be selfish :)


    The new profile pic is the result of having a fight with a boy and your oh-so-sweet dog offers to cheer you up by letting you dye a blue streak on her head.  Back down, PETA, it's food coloring.

  • who did you fight with? xxoo. today was happy birthday meg.

  • So do you always rotate around on the bed or only certain times? 

    ps I do make exceptions for the bed rule if there is a girl involved.  in fact, there are no rules about the bed when a girl is involved.

  • Hey girl... boys can suck.  They are so, well, male sometimes. BUT, at least you've got good girls to chill with and make mega daquiries with lots of rum!  mmmm..... daiquiries... damn this diet!  I did splurge today on a sugar free Caramocha from Borders.... I'm down 3 pounds... only 17 more to go before I've reached my goal.... gotta stay positive!

    Love Ya,

  • ooh love the flower. isn't cystal palace chenille great?! soooo soft. I love the color you chose. I don't think I've ever seen it before. very very nice!

  • I gave this to her at a shower, and everyone passed it around rubbing it on their face.  It is indeed very soft.  A coworker gave me a skein of black chenille, but I don't know if I'd want a black washcloth.  Maybe potholders?
