Wah! Allergies! I have been miserable with the violent sneezing and such. I’ve got a new pill to try and so far so good – I don’t want to scratch the itches on inside of my head anymore. I think that may be a good sign that it is working.

M has put a hole in the toe of his Wildfoote socks already! I guess that just shows me how much he likes them but honestly. No sweat to darn it, though, it isn’t like he walked through the heel.

Still working on the purple sweater. I think I may never get finished. I made it all the way to the armholes on the front piece last Saturday and then noticed that I had managed to skip two entire rows of pattern back at the very beginning. I have No Idea how I managed that. Total oblivian, I suppose. So I have ripped back (Well actually, Michael ripped back, I wasn’t sure I could do it without a temper tantrum.) and now am at 5 1/2 inches. I could scream.

Oh by the way, we are back in Bay Minette at least for a little while. Since we left Mary Esther at the appointed time, Great Gran and I got to stop in Pensacola at King’s Sewing and Knitting Center (they will eventually have a website at kingsewing.com but for now there is just a place holder). Which was Quite Cool. They had a bunch of yarn that I had never seen in person and these really nifty black bags with handles for your purchases. Our new Regia Stretch Color (Elastic in wool! Who Knew?) rode home in one. Great Gran also splurged on some Supersock from Cherry Tree Hill (in Fairhope at the B. Sumrall Gallery). Luscious! And I am so jealous. When we are rich again, I am going to buy a bunch of skeins and just pet it.
