sunday with jaax

Sorry for the lack of knitting content lately–I’ve been so busy with work and an abnormally active social life. Part of our string of events and guests was a visit from Jaax last night!

my left sleeve

I can only imagine that there are thousands of knitting blogs with this title in their archives, but I’m lacking in originality today. Introducing . . .

yoga & knitting come together

It’s not a normal combination, and even now, it’s kind of a stretch, but yoga and knitting came together for me today.

After class, my teacher came up and said that she’d heard I was a really “awesome knitter.” I said yes, and started to say “did you want to learn?” but she had moved on: She knows a person who works at a small boutique in the city that sells yarn, clothing, and will sell knitted items if I’ve got some to sell. And she wanted to put me in touch with her friend, because she was all excited at the idea of me selling pieces. So, cool! Not that I have any body of work available for selling, but I do have some stash to work through.

it’s all about the shoes

Regarding the shoes, and those of you who are itching to get to DSW: I found both of these pairs on the sale rack. I was actually a little disappointed in the lack of cute shoes on the main floor!

weekend away

This long weekend (yep, I had today off) I drove through the torrential downpours to get to Maryland, to visit my parents. Mom and I did an excessive amount of shopping, which was great. We also sat around knitting in the evenings. I worked on the sleeve of my USMP, which is nearly done, and she worked on a little cardigan she’s doing with some beautiful red manos. I don’t know why I didn’t take a picture, but oh well.
