on the eve of the ravelympics

in over 12 hours i'll finally be able to cast on my hats and start knitting! this event has been wonderful in getting me energized about my knitting. i can't wait to finish my socks. they should do this every time there's a big sports championship.

i did start another baby project. i have this red cotton jean yarn by patons that has been burning a hole in my cotton stash. i only have 2 skeins of it enough i thought for maybe a hat. yesterday i got the brill idea to make the Mason Dixon baby kimono out of it. i may be about 30 yards too short but i'm knitting on smaller needles so maybe i'll make some headway with it. the fabric i'm knitting is so unbelievably soft. it's a soft red not too bright. i also have the same yarn in tan. i just might make another kimono with the other yarn if this kimono comes out nice.

the anniversary party was actually pretty nice. my in-laws were surprised about the whole thing and quite touched. there were maybe 50 people to this gig, mostly family. they had barbequed chicken, quite possibly the best corn on the cob ever, salads, fruits and veggies, aunt C made another of her famous cakes (so delicious it melts in your mouth) and ice cream. the dj played oldies (but he didn't have any of the songs i like, and i requested when i'm 64 WHICH HE DIDN'T HAVE. he should have the entire beatles catalog, not just 1! they should have hired ME to do the music since i had all the music in my own ipod!) believe it or not, ms. critical herself had no complaints about the day at all. i even got to hold our new baby cousin, hoping that baby vibes help us along again as they had with the boy.

then last night our family from nova scotia came up for a visit, on their way home. we invited them, GM and MIL to see our new rooms. they were really impressed with the work that hubby did on the floors and with the new furniture.


i hear thunder. gotta go.
