So, I sent Meryl off this morning. Sat in the chairs outside the security point and cried for a while til I couldn’t see her anymore and wandered forlornly off back to my car feeling like I’d left a part of me inside the airport. I know its only a year and this is the chance of a lifetime for her and that the year will be over before we both know it, but, crap, you know?

My hourglass sweater is coming along nicely. Kinda. I’ve been knitting slowly on the body. I’m almost half way through with the increases. I knit off the addi and onto my new knit picks needles and man, no change in gauge, the yarn flies and there is NO snagging. None. Zip. Nada. Zilch. I’m a believer!

Hourglass as of 8/15   Isn't it gorgeous??

We got shafted at the knitting group last week. Some group called and reserved the WHOLE back room at Cafe Express. (I have been left with the impression that they do not do reservations. How do I know, I’ve asked before. That’s how. *grin*) So we were stuck outside in the open section of the restaurant with about a bazillion knitters on the one time everyone and their Mom decides to show up. Literally - Jennifer had brought her mom along. Yay for knitter Moms! So I had declared that I would call and reserve the WHOLE back room for this Thursday. In reality, I probably won’t. I just dont feel up to messing with it right now. We contented ourselves with spying on the group and muttering about them. Mo decided to show us how to blend in with our surroundings and hide from them.

Hide, Mo, Hide!!

Doesn’t she blend in well??

I’m off now to go find a haircut. I need one badly. Perhaps I’ll be saucy and chop it all off. We shall see.
