[...] (Oh ok, here’s a teaser photo, but you can’t see everything. Remember when I said that this rug in our Knitting Nook here at Loopy Central would play a part in something later in the summer?) [...]

I had to look twice to realize that was the beginning of the Girasole. I love the way the yarn swirls like a nautilus shell.

I have a few things I could share…
1. I got a haircut, finally. Last time I got my hair cut was January, FPS. I keep trying new salons and new stylists, trying to find the one that’ll do what I want and be appropriately natural and classy about it, and I think I finally found them!
2. I’ve been knitting and knitting and hardly getting anything done. I’ve got a couple of projects on the needles, but it feels like whenever I pick them up I’d rather do something else, or when I do work on them, they go nowhere! Keep working, keep working.
3. I really want an iPhone. It would just add to my hippie yuppie status. Yikes.

My three things:

1. My boyfriend found an old acoustic guitar at a rummage sale this weekend for $10 and bought it for me. I’m learning to play silly songs so I can call him at work and leave them on his voicemail.

2. My cat Shadow learned how to sit on his back legs like a person. He looks like Buddah when he does it.

3. I learned that pumpkin plants have these giant yellow flowers that bloom on the vines when they grow. I’m growing pumpkins for the first time and when I went to water them this morning I found these beautiful giant flowers blooming! What a neat surprise!

Enjoy your coffee!

I *love* the new rug – what great leaves! I’m hoping to get my Girasole yarn on Thursday to start cranking. The friends I am making it for (as a housewarming gift) are supposed to be moving in in 7 weeks! (I’m secretly hoping for construction delays…)

Hi
Sheri – get your lil paws off that Brownie!…Just mentioning it makes me want one.
My dad died Saturday morning, we will be going to the ocean soon – it will be good to stare out at the water and destress. I’ll be missing him on Father’s Day this year and always. Make sure you let your loved ones know you LOVE them.

Well, it’s the day after, but I’ve been hibernating with the husband while we are on “summer break”. I’ve been working on the same stupid socks since the fling and it’s driving me crazy. They’ve been put in “time out” more than all my other projects combined! I also started (and finished) a Shetland Triangle Shawl and then started on the scarf version of FIberDreams “Domus Aurea”. That’s a fun knit but not something I can take to knit night. Sigh. Also, I need to sew two baby quilts for my Aunt who’s having TWINS (after trying invetro fertilization 4 times) and have it done by laste August.

Oh, and I’m taking two semesters worth of Latin this summer (9 weeks) I’m nervous as heck about it. I’ve a feeling it’ll cut back on my knitting time.

I have been seriously considering joining the KAL but since I am just now finishing the last Dream in Color KAL project and I am on a yarn diet I will refrain… for right now anyway.

Ahhh I have been wanting to try one of those Brownie Batter Blizzards, they look so yummy.

Your Girasole looks lovely!!!!!

It looks like you had a great weekend.

Three things today:
1. I’m putting off writing a paper for a summer class that the rough draft needs to put up tomorrow.
2. I’m watching a hilarious episode of I Dream of Jeannie.
3. I’m trying to find the perfect pattern for mittens that will fit me well.
