The Last of the UFOs

Only one more UFO! I guess that's pretty good...that I only have 5 UFOs. The last one is the Wee Willie Whistle Sweater from Miss Bea's Band by Louisa Harding. I am making it out of Lion Brand Cottonease. I knit another one exactly like it a few years ago...actually, this was the first attempt. This was the back and it was too big, so I started over. I had plenty of yarn, so I figured I'd keep this back and make another one. If I were to finish it now, I would probably give it to my nephew, Nathan.


Now, you all get to vote! Which UFO should I finish first? I am going to make a survey that will be over on the side and you can vote there. Hopefully I won't be too demoralized when only two or three people vote.

2) Mitten (I would need to complete this mitten and knit the second)


4) Pillow, perhaps? (this is the intarsia square)

5) Wee Willie Whistle Sweater (see above)

Report from the RNC

In the end, I couldn't resist the pull of thousands of suited Republicans in St. Paul and D and I headed downtown last night to check things out. Actually, that's a lie. What compelled me down there was my support of St. Paul business. The Pioneer Press reported yesterday on how dismal business was for some of the restaurants and shops around the convention. I figured, "Well, if the Republicans won't eat there, I WILL!" After work we headed to Cosetta's . As you can see...definite lack of Republicans. They were all outside on the street. I have to say, in my Ravelry t-shirt and Chacos, I felt a little out of place. This is as close as we could get to the Excel Energy Center. It looks like the city is on lockdown. While we were just standing around, Sean Hannity passed right by us. I've never watched a day of Fox News in my life, so I would not have known this if someone nearby had not pointed him out. Then I snapped pictures like a good blogger. We then

I Need a New Word for "Perfect"

Image
I just spent what can only be described as quite possibly one of the most perfect weekends of my life, thus far. I'm racking my brain trying to think of a weekend that has felt more "right" and I just can't. I think this was one of those rare life moments where everything comes together to create contentment. A perfect blend of good food, friendly strangers, physical and mental activity, and a person to travel with that makes you happy. David and I spent the weekend in Lanesboro, MN and thereabouts. We loaded up our bikes, and in my case, way too much other stuff and headed out of town. How is it that I can pack so light for a 10 day trip to Ireland, but when I head 2 hours south, I pack as though I am leaving home for an indefinite period of time? We arrived in Lanesboro in the rain. We ducked in to the Pedal Pushers Cafe where we had the coffee and pie special for $1.99. Chocolate cream pie. Yum! I drew this lovely picture. If you look closely, you will

You Know He's the One When...

...he makes amazing sandwiches with pepperjack cheese. ...he puts oregano in his scrambled eggs...or is it dill? ...he asks you to teach him to knit so he can make a hat for his new niece. ...he sets up your bike computer. ...he lets your nephew pretend he is a cow and feed him imaginary hay. ...he shows you how to use Excel so you can figure out just how painful it will be to pay off your student loans before you're 40. ...he Tivo's your favorite shows for you since you don't have cable. ...he likes your family. ...you like his family. ...he's the calm to your sometimes not-so-calm self. ...he puts up with your singing. ...he enjoys things like visiting the SPAM museum, taking a Segway tour of Minneapolis, and learning to make sushi. ...he's teaching you how to do flip turns in the pool. ...he loves your laugh. ...he gets down on one knee and gives you this...
