Sea Anemone Knits

I had two visitors this weekend. Terribly excited to see both. As of 8am, this one has left.

The other is more of the permanent houseguest variety. But he’s nice, doesn’t make a mess and I don’t have to explain all of the yarn to him. Could you ask for more? And a picture of my squooshy little man lest you think I may have changed my "single" status.

So, as noted by Kelly, Meredith and Susan on Thursday night, I have indeed broken my $#!+ knitting curse. Heaven shall only ever know what I did to deserve such torture. But I have started an "Oh Woe Is Me" project as a result. This will be my second Anthropologie Inspired Capelet as designed by Julsey from Craftster. I’m feeling sociable, have a picture!

I made this one back in January…

I’m really happy with this first one, but it’s so warm and fuzzy that it will only really work in like cold weather. And I wanted one to wear with tank tops in the summer, so hence the "Woe" project of needing one in a more Summer-In-Texas friendly yarn.

I also got some work done on the blue baby sweater. See? I did work on things that have a deadline!

So Friday night, Meryl and I met up with Kelly and Rob at Aztecas for margaritas. Note: Please never try more than two. These people are not making pansies over there. We saw some guy get sick. I later heard his friends comment on the 4 margaritas and 2 shots. This was not some little guy either. So there’s some proof of the pansy-less-ness of these ‘ritas.

Saturday saw us watching A Scanner Darkly at the Angelika. We both decided that we don’t hate the movie, but we don;t really love it either. I’ve decided that I like it, but don’t particularly enjoy the exploitative-ness of humans without their knowledge going on in the film. Definitely worth seeing though. Afterwards though we felt the need to go to a bookstore and look at books. We marinated in books for 4 hours. Can you imagine anything better?? Nope, me either. Anyway, it’s "Laundry Time" and I must go forth to the laundromat to create some clean clothing to wear to the office. I get the feeling that they don’t appreciate wrinkles and such…
