In case you missed it, Elizabeth (my sister) has a blog of her own. No knitting, (except for getting my black Cotton-Ease in three differet dye-lots swapped for one dye lot) but she is into caligraphy in a big way.

Remember the thing that lives in our walls? It seems to have gotten bigger. And last night it sounded like it wanted to claw through the walls and come out. Betty spent the night guarding the bathroom wall.

I’ve picked up the band all around the MustHave’s front and worked three rows! Since the band is made up of about 9 billion stitches, it takes at least fifteen minutes to do a row.

So now I am up to the buttonholes. Which is great. Except I have forgotten to get buttons. I hope that Wal-Mart surprises me and has something Just Perfect – the nearest Jo-Ann’s is in Pensacola!

The Yarn Fairy hasn’t come yet. I am getting a little bit worried that I won’t have a spring project when I am finished with the MustHave. If that happens, I’ll delve into the stash and make a Sweater Vest out of the Cotton Fleece. It’s a fall color but vests are kind of Springy. They are good for In-Between-Seasons Clothing at any rate. Sigh.
