Ok, so the yarn really isn't for me, it's for others, but it was fun to come out of the store with a gigundo bag of yarn. By the way, if anyone is still interested in Cotton Ease, there are a few colors left and I would be more than willing to do a trade.
In a mad dash to procrastinate on my design knitting, I've cast on for two projects within the last 24 hours. First, Lelah, which I loved when I first saw it, and figured I could adapt it since my girls can't do all the work themselves. Ribbon straps to the rescue!
Secondly, the Boobholder, made with some of the vintage wool that Lib graciously gave to me. I think I will do the embellishment, there should be some good brown yarn in the stash to spice it up. We're supposed to be going up to the mountains this weekend, so I'm hoping that I can have this finished (at least without the triangle-y bit) to wear. Of course, starting it while watching the past two weeks worth of Alias wasn't the best idea, as I had to rip eleventy billion times. (And sadly, I thought the most brill thing was the new Kate Winslet American Express commercial. Love her. Want to be her. Would marry her in Hawaii.)
And I just have to include a small life musing...I think there are more people endowed with a sixth sense than just Haley Joel Osment. Like the construction workers in our basement seem to know *just when* the kids fall asleep, so that they can start drilling into the concrete. Or how my kids know that I will get all Stepford on their ass when they do something wrong, all the while I'm thinking 'Why did you just rip off your diaper, the very one that costs as much as one on Mommy's lattes, because you peed half of an ounce in it?' Or how I just know, even though I've told the universe so many times that I'm ready, that the $215 million is going to someone else this Saturday. But I can't stop trying.
Where are you guys going to be in the mountains? I may have to stalk you if you are anywhere near Vail! :) See ya tonight!

You're right, Cathi -- that boob holder is SO cute .... very *you.* Did you leave your copy of Lelah at my house? Because I found one in the corners of my couch. And as I printed it out as well, but my patterns show up in the most random of spots, I thought it was maybe one of my patterns .... but I've been needing to change the color on my printer, and that was the clue that it probably did not originate from my home. Just thought I'd let you know that I found it. It is cute, isn't it?

I could use some nature right about now...I've been in the city for too long.
Kate Winslet is totally hot. I will be following you to Hawaii to break up your marriage to Kate so I can be the 2nd Mrs. Winslet. Hee hee...
