Ends and beginnings

Alice has a new family! There was an adoption day yesterday where all parties involved were struck with love at first sight. We talked to them this morning and Alice is adapting very well to her new home. One more doggy to go!

I finished these on the way home from adoption day:

ice cream socks

CannahgettaWOOHOO?

Which means that I finally get to start something new. Something that isn’t a sock. After a fair amount of deliberation, I’ve decided to make the polo shirt before the lacy top in the Nashua book. Mostly because I find the idea of several feet of stockinette very appealing right now. I don’t know why.

shine and the pattern

Lime! It’ll match my very loud butterfly skirt.

    I like the polo. I should get that book. Greetings from the Knitty Cafe, right? I think that’s the one that “Cassie” on Guiding Light is in.

    Congratulations to Alice for finding a family!

    And your yarn looks nice and summery — like the color of melons and grapes and cucumbers and kiwi!
