lucky me!

Who was the lucky recipient of fifty-six dolphins?

Me! Yay, yay, yay! Thanks Grumperina!

I was the most fabulous looking mom at the park today.

Since I can't seem to bring myself to rework Sahara, I decided to finish the baby sweater. The shower is this week, and really, how much of a hardship is it to finish a baby sweater?

Pattern: Placket Sweater from Last Minute Knitted Gifts. Be sure to get the errata (link at the bottom of the page).

Yarn: Knit One Crochet Too Ty Dy in Meadow.

Button: nothing special, just one lying around in the stash of vintage buttons.

The Ty Dy yarn was great! Could this finally be the yarn to us for Lady Eleanor from Scarf Style? But all that cotton. Too heavy? Hmmmm.....

Besides the Sahara sweater, the only other project I have on the sticks right now is some orange and green socks for my brother. What can I say? I'm  a softie and he did ask nicely (and after a magarita).

The Cascade Fixation is nice. Is it truly different from the Elann knockoff? I keep thinking it is, but really, how could it be?

And finally, here's a picture of my brother (in the middle) filming a health and fitness segment he does for the local news.

And, yes, those are Doritos on the table. The segment was on portion size.  And, yes, I ate way more than my portion size while watching them shoot. No judgement please!
