In a totally unexpected flash of brilliance, the alpaca scored at Rhinebeck, 2005 joined forces with Knitty’s Wisp from Summer, 2007. See pattern here.
Would it be bragging to say that this is going to be one of the best things I’ve knitted?
I totally love how the alpaca is working up. I think I’m going to use some of my grandmother’s buttons when it’s finished. If they’re too heavy, then I’ll find some lightweight shell buttons at Joann’s or some such place.
I could slip right under all this alpaca goodness and drift off to sleep…
I’ve been home sick for two days and have done absolutely nothing. Which is the idea of sick days, I guess. Some sort of weird stomach bug, no doubt acquired at the hospital. Strangest part was, the thing that bothered me the most was my calves ached like crazy. Woke me out of a sound sleep. Then the nausea hit.
But it seems to have gotten better. The BF brought me groceries today, and ginger ale, then drove me to the bank and out to get something to eat (for him) and drink (for me). Then we came back here and he helped me with some things around the house. He is awfully good to me.
I’m a little sad because he’s leaving the country for a week starting on Monday night. I’ll miss him. But he’ll be back. He just needs to go back to his country of origin for a few days and reconnect.
On the good side of things, he has another interview tomorrow for another internship, which means he now has to choose which one he wants out of three possibilities.
Gratuitous cat pictures follow. There haven’t been any in a while, and I don’t want you to think he ran away, or something.
Evidently I bothered him by taking pictures while he was at his evening security post, keeping watch over the back yard.
