It’s a side-to-side vest knit in the Brooks Farm Riata so recently featured right here on YPF. (color is much better on the YPF post)
You start with the left front. I’m a the increases point of the left armpit (about to start on the back). It’s going quickly.
Winding all of those KidSilk
But it’s nice. And I like the colors. And if I’m going to go to MDSW, I should probably knit something from the yarn I got at my previous fiber festival, yes? (no, i haven't decided yet)
In other news, it may officially be spring.
Since my mom can’t really garden at her new house, she has an area in my backyard where she can still play in the dirt. She put in a bunch of bulbs last fall, and now whatever they are, they’re blooming
No, I have no idea what they are. Tulips, maybe? No clue. I have a black thumb.
Oh, and we’re officially first base again
The back corner of our house is first base for the “diamond” the boys next door use for their pick-up baseball games in the side yard.
In other news, yes, I deleted a comment from yesterday’s refrigerator post.
Yes, it was essentially an ode to an appliance that had been in this house for just about as long as I can remember. Yes, we will probably replace it. Eventually.
And if you have a problem with that, I’m more than happy to talk with you about that.
But if you’re going to put an anonymous comment on my blog telling me that I’m killing the environment and that having a second freezer/fridge is irresponsible? I’m going to delete it. If you have something to say and you want me to take you seriously, SIGN YOUR DAMN NAME.
I found this particularly irritating/ironic because just last night I read a blog post that I thought was written on faulty principles and was making a point that I found offensive. But I decided that I didn’t want to get into a dialogue with the person who posted to their personal blog. That left me with two options: Leave an anonymous comment or keep my trap shut. Wanna guess which one I picked? That’s right. I took a deep breath, closed the window and let it go.
So if you have something to say to me, fire away. I can take it. I’m a pretty reasonable, rational person.
But don’t do it anonymously. That’s not cool.
And finally, isn’t it awfully cruel of the Pirates and Cubs to subject the fine folks of Pittsburgh to 27 innings of baseball over two games? Seriously.
Oh, and Melissa gets total credit for pointing this out, but how in the world has the Pittsburgh sports media not latched on to this movie in connection with our local baseball team? Really. It’s almost as easy as using “We Will” to mock the team, and it’s funnier with a catchy kid-friendly tune (Enter the site and skip the intro. It’s worth it.)
