It’s been a busy week (and it’s only Wednesday)! We rented a tiller on Tuesday and made a new flower bed ont he end of the house. I spent quite a bit of time in the yard today with a shovel turning over all of the stuff the tiller missed or couldn’t get because there were plants in the way. So I am very, very tired this evening. In between all of the digging, I finished the knitted portion of Haiti:

It’s not really blocking. I got some spots on it while I was knitting and I decided to go ahead and wash it as soon as I cast off. When it dries, Great Gran is going to do the lace trim.

Even though it isn’t really blocking (or finished, even), Haiti is officially off my needles so I can start a new project. The yarn for Sitcom Chic*. I have done about three inches in black Cotton Ease.

The sleepy, blurry kitty is included for scale.

I really like the yarn, by the way. It’s kind of thick (especially after the svale), but very soft and pleasant to work with. Cotton Ease is a yarn I would use again.

I have also taken up another project. That’s right, I am attempting to sew a skirt. I haven’t made anything on the machine in ages; my last project was a Sock Monkey for Great Gran. But I figure if I can make pants for a monkey, I can make skirts for me. That’s just logic. The skirts will match my sweaters, of course.

I may have to put aside all of my projects for a bit in order to start (and finish) my cousin Hammie’s graduation socks. I can’t believe he’s old enough to be graduating from high school. I can’t believe how old that makes me! Ak!

*Just so you know, on my way to link Sitcom Chic, I was distracted by GiGi. What a cute sweater (and made in Cotton Fleece)! Do you think I would like the neck? I think it might be too wide for me. I think I will open the image in a window and leave it up to peak at every now and then until I make up my mind.
