| Look at that tape job to make right angles! Fantastic! |
And now a cool blocking photo:

Alas, too bad it wasn't to be. I blocked the Simplicity cowl, then realized it was WAAAYYYY too short. WAY. Couldn't even make it around my head twice. Granted, I do have a big head, but still, it was ridiculous. So now I have to learn how to un-bind a suspended bind-off and splice some yarn to make the cowl longer. I somehow never learned that adage "measure twice, cut once" even going through architecture school and building tiny models. Nope, too impatient. sigh. oh well. Another learning experience I suppose. I'll try and post some photos of my un-binding effort, if I don't get super frustrated.
In other projects....well, I don't have any. I really need to start another one, I was actually getting pretty antsy this weekend with nothing on the needles. I know I have three projects coming up: a winter headband for the boyfriend (really need that since hopefully the weather will cool down soon), socks for mom, and cowl for other sister. I actually have yarn for two of the three, but not the correct needles. and I haven't even really found a pattern for any of them. The headband may just be a ribbing, maybe cabling. We'll see.
Speaking of the weather...it was almost 90 degrees today. it's October. In DC. It's a little hot for this time of year. Now, I wouldn't really mind, but we went apple- and veggie-picking today, and it was just waaaay too hot to be picking fruits and veggies! I mean, they're delicious (like woah) and all, but I have a sun headache now! terrible. Hopefully the weather calms down and starts behaving like fall, because I am just really confused all the time now. I can't tell what day or month it is anymore!
Here's a llama for your viewing pleasure. He was at the farm today.

Have a great week!
