Good morning

Finally, a grey weekend with no big plans.   So I'm working on socks (pictures later) and, thanks to our trip to Utah, making these http://prudentbaby.com/2011/06/entertaining-food/liege-waffle-recipe-2/ for breakfast. 

I'm also watching hummingbirds. My son took 

this picture. They show up 3 and 4 at a time and they  fights lot

Who knew something so cute was so scrappy?

Yeah, it's been a long time

Sorry, I've tried to post some this summer, but things keep happening - files won't load, time, you know. 

2 news items, the little one is 12 today. Not little anymore.  So that's nice. Also, a great friend and the person who taught me to spin died last week.  I wasn't in touch as much as I wanted to be and I miss her, but she was sick for some time so I'm glad she's not in pain anymore.  

So, I've done a bunch of stuff, to try and catch up here. 

These are cake, Dahlia cardigan, Moab socks, Firey Furnace, Arches NP, Mt Timpanogos 

Washing day, final blocking

I was afraid the waistcoat would be huge, but looks okay for my quick try on pre-blocking. If I did it again, I'd do more waist shaping.   The other 2 just needed a wash. 

Fixing those steeks and sleepy kitty

Arrrrggggghhhh

Nope. Not a pirate. Realized I misplaced the steeks in this thing which I've already ripped out 4 times. I think I'm going to see if I can just pull down the affected areas. Otherwise, perhaps the universe thinks Kauni and I aren't meant for each other.

Not a bad day

Indoor trampoline park, bbq for dinner then a walk at Kennesaw and feeding llamas.

Some better pictures of Featherweight

Finishing thing, darn it

So, I'm drying my featherweight out on the lawn (lace weight yarn plus Georgia sun equals record drying times) and now I'm thinking about what to do/ finish next.
I'm still not happy with my Kauni, so I think I'm going to rip again and make the Trellis Waistcoat (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/trellis-waistcoat). And in a way I like that idea better because Kauni rainbow in a sweater is a lot of color and perhaps I'd wear a vest more.
I also made a mistake in my Daliha (http://www.ravelry.com/projects/stringtheory2pt0/dahlia-cardigan) so I need to redo that as well.

Finishing a sweater and

Starting a quilt.
I have to sew the neck onto the body of my Featherweight in lace tonal Deep Waters, which I finished today when I was at a conference.
I also replaced our toilet seats. Surprisingly satisfying.

First coat ....

And some company from my cat - who, though I suspect he understands cold fusion and tries to tell us about it, doesn't have enough sense not to lick the drop cloth.

Day off

I haven't done this in a while, but I have day off. I'm waiting for the termite inspection man, so goodbye wallpaper border I never liked on my dining room.

Before ....

Wow, a long time

After ally claims I was only going to do fun, colorful stuff this year, I decided toile my mother in law a sweater in tasteful linen blend. And I kept messing up the gauge, so the whole thing had to be knit twice.
Here it is pre-blocking, it's in the dryer now ....

Better pics coming soon

But Galileo is great for this pattern!

Finishing things again

First of the 2013 colorful things - finished while hanging out with the young while he took a bath and we listened to Spotify

No excuse now.

Well, I finished those writers and they're drying now. So back to Vitamin D. Which is fine really. I've been flirting with a gross sore throat all week and it feels like its finally settling in.

Updates

Well, color is a good thing, but as I was nearing the end of the body on Vitamin D I realized I'd messed up the increases so I needed to pull out all the short rows (and if you've knit this one you know how much knitting that is). But I did it because its lovely and needs to be done right and Galileo is so nice to knit. Here's some progress on Kauni (yes, it's going to be a cardigan) and some mitts I've been doing.

And the Kauni reboot
