After knitting a good part of Tuesday and for a few hours on Wednesday, I am no longer embarrassed to show you my musthave progress.

I am all about Dramatic Lighting lately…

I haven’t gotten to work on it much today because of errands, unpacking, painting a cabinet, ironing everything we own (seriously, M was running out of shirts), and picking up a ton of books from the library.* But the house is coming along.

For those of you who are reading along in your copy of Interweave Knits, here are the pages that intrigue me:
12 (the sleeves are cool), 22 (Great Gran also likes this one – short sleeves!), 26 (I want this one first, but I suspect that I have too many cardigans and I need some pullovers to round out the ol’ wardrobe. And then I think: but this one would be cotton!), 30 (sunshines!), 42 (I would want the cuffs shorter), 47 (I am partial to the cardigan…), 81 (because that’s just funny), 82 (pretty!) and 92 (but it would have to wait until fall). Upon review, I think I should have just told you I like the whole magazine. Please send yarn money. And while you’re sending things, more of these Sour Patch Kids would also be good. These little guys are yummy! Too bad they make powder all over the keyboard…

*I am educating myself on girly things like skin care and makeup so that I can be very good at my job. Plus, I like to learn things. Sadly, most of the books in our library system are circa 1983 and don’t offer much in the way of makeup application. Unless one’s goal is to look like this trendy soul.
