Travel, travel, travel…
I just got back from Colorado, to visit my sister. Every other year or so her in-laws host a huge goat roast, with a couple hundred people, a roasted pig named after someone in the media (this year, Hilary II… second time Hilary Clinton got a pig named after her), two goats, and a young woman holing herself in her brother-in-law’s old room knitting and reading.
Unfortunately, I didn’t think to take my camera, so no dead goat pictures. Sorry!
I did, however, get a lot done on my Thira in a pretty Jade color.
I got a few compliments on it. I love Esprit yarn. Very stretchy. The flight attendant on the way home complimented my speed and the color of the yarn. They didn’t even make me put my needles away for landing!
I went to Showers of Flowers yarn shop in Lakewood, which is an awesome place. I bought some well-priced sock yarn, despite my earlier intentions to not buy any more yarn until both Thira and my Flood sweater were done.
I couldn’t help it.
The blue and green will go towards a Tempest, and the multi will go towards a pair of socks.
Awesomesauce.
I also got the whole back of my Flood sweater done while watching Doctor Who the past couple days. This knits up so fast, and I love the look of it so far.
Pretty.
And, a couple weeks ago, my brother and nephew andI went to the zoo, and found one of the female peacocks and her chicks!
And a much needed picture of my nephew and a roly-poly!
Gotta love Jimjim.
