Well. I’ve got some good news and some bad news. Good news first.

My yarn that Becky and I dyed looks great!

The second haystack Sock is almost finished

The Black Top guys are here doing the driveway!

Now for the bad news. It’s pretty bad.

The gauge was right. Honeydew was exactly the size it was supposed to be. Unfortunately, that size was not the size that would fit me. How I managed to try it on twice and didn’t notice (read: refused to admit) that it was entirely too big to be cute until I was working on the sleeves I really couldn’t tell you. I spent some time fantasizing about blocking it in hot water and having it shrink four inches (it’s cotton, cotton shrinks in hot water)! But in the end I knew what had to be done:

Sigh.

Don’t worry, I’ll finish it (May is green), but I won’t get to wear it this weekend.

I’ll end on an Up Note: Yarn Miracle’s pictures were brought to you today by my new camera phone!

His name is Mr. Pink. Naturally.

Mom needed a new phone. To get a new phone at a discount, you have to sign a new contract. Mom didn’t like any of the free phones (ugly, no colors). The only ones she liked were these. Because they come in pink. But she didn’t want one unless I got one too. So there you go. Takes a pretty good picture for a phone, I think.

PS My RSS folder (it’s like bloglines, but not as fancy) says that you guys have posted 126 new blog entries since I last checked. I thought that by subscribing to feeds I could keep up with twice as many blogs in the same amount of time. I am now willing to admit that I was wrong about that. Terribly, terribly wrong. But there is so much great stuff going on that I hate to miss any of it!
