Not a Peanut

First of all, I feel incredibly guilty posting after a peanut post! I mean, new little babies really should come first. Secondly, thank you! Thank you everyone for your wonderful comments on Oceania. I am still thrilled and can hardly wait to wear it for the first "official" time. Since I'm sure it will go largely unnoticed at my office, I plan to wear it on Thursday, Knit Salon night.

I also have a confession to make - I can't stop starting things! Not only do I have Dibs on Ribs on the needles, but I started a big, long super-scarf. I also started a baby sweater and am about to start the gauge swatch for Green Gable. I loved it the first time I saw it, but MLE's finished Red Gable, made me run right out and pick up the yarn on Sunday. What a great summer knit! Given that most of my current projects are gifts for others that won't be needed for a few months, I think I'll put Green Gable first and get started so if all things go smoothly I'll be able to wear it a bit this season.

As for Dibs on Ribs - how much fun is Noro? This is my first time knitting with it and I am having a blast!
I stayed up late last night watching the colors progress. Now I need to mess around with some of the yarn so that I can match the colors for semetry between the left and right sides of the sweater. From those I see on line, it seems to really make a differnce between a fun sweater and a really great garment.

Finally, I dragged Jenny to our knitting day in the park last Saturday in an effort to stay cool. Knitzalot, Krys, Jenny and I found a great spot in the shade at Balboa Park and had a really nice afternoon. Jenny even found a really smelly something or other in the grass that she couldn't stop rubbing all over her neck and back.

Needless to say she got a bath when we got home. Crazy dog.
