Since this primarily started out as a knitting blog I feel like I should have some knitting content in it, but I still haven't been able to knit much. I did start the Monica tank (which I'm switching to a dress) from knitty.com for *N*
http://www.knitty.com/issuespring07/PATTmonica.htmlIt's going to be SO boring with all the stockinette stitch, but it'll look cute so it's worth it. I just cast on 14 more stitches than the pattern called for and did the edge in seed stitch and will decrease a few times until it's long enough to start the top. I plan on picking up stitches at the bottom and making a ruffle on the bottom to match the top. I'm using tangerine colored cotton fleece for the dress and I ordered two different pinks so I'll see which one I like best with the orange for the ruffle.
Since we aren't going to be able to go on our beach house vacation this fall (which I'll miss horribly!) we are going to NJ to see my dad and step mom the end of May. My dad bought a "weekend house" two houses down from his current house and it just got finished so we'll stay in that. It's beautiful and he really wants us to stay there and we wouldn't normally make two trips down in one year so this will actually work out perfectly! The weather is warm enough to go swimming in May, but it shouldn't be unbareably hot so we'll be able to visit some cool zoos and other things in the area. So I'm really looking forward to it and the 8 hour trip is perfect for knitting boring stockinette!
