Photos of me in the Tivoli might have to wait, because my boyfriend isn’t back from his run yet and the light is fading fast outside. (I will see how well it comes out with flash, etc.)
But! I just dashed outside and took some shots of the yarn that arrived today. I’m not sure even the outdoor light did justice to the colors.
The office manager sent me an instant message before lunch today: “You have a box.” But on a quick glance, I totally thought it said “You have a fax.” Now, I never ever receive faxes, so my response was “!? weird,” and she said, “Yeah, from Crafts Americana.” I was so confused. Then I thought to read back, and when box became clear, I got all excited: It meant my yarn order for the Union Square Market Pullover had arrived. Joy!
All I’ve done this weekend is sew in the ends on the Tivoli. We’ve had a pretty crazy last few days–mostly just because we’ve had houseguests coming and going and partying to do with them–and so I haven’t even touched my knitting. I had these romantic notions of finishing it all Friday early evening, and wearing it out on Saturday. But instead I got a call from my boyfriend–out with one friend–telling me that a different friend was headed to our apartment right away. So I hung out with him until the guys could get here, and, well, this guy is really cool and all, but I just wasn’t feeling up to knitting in front of him!
I’m thinking of blocking it tonight or tomorrow and wearing my Tivoli this week!
