Bandwagon
I’m not usually enamored with things that seem to captivate others. My TV has never been tuned to American Idol, I have no desire to read the Twilight books, my sock drawer doesn’t harbor a single pair of Monkeys or Jaywalkers, and my closet is devoid of a February Lady Sweater. That said, I’ve recently knit several “viral” patterns. One is the Shalom Cardigan.
Model: The Daughter.
Yarn Specs: One skein of Cascade Ecological Wool.
Mods: Of course! They’re detailed on my Ravelry project page.
Verdict: Love it.
On a related note, I just powered my way through the entire first season of Dexter in one week. Fascinating. Or not. Do I love it, or hate it?? And you?

Five On Friday
Since last Friday, I . . . . . . .
. . . Went to the neighborhood Fourth of July parade:
. . . Spent the morning of July 4th knitting in my backyard with Margene and Laurie:
. . . Took a walk on Monday evening and spotted lots of candy from the parade that the kids missed:
. . . Finished a sweater that’s been languishing in my WIP pile for more than a year (modeled by DD; details on Ravelry)
. . . and finished the Northern Lights Shawl:
What about you??

Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’
Until I got a comment from Susanne today, I had no idea it had been more than a month since my last blog post. Yikes. How did that happen? I guess it’s easy to fall out of the habit of blogging.
I’ve decided to keep myself on the posting track by instituting a Friday theme for the blog . . . Five on Friday. Every Friday I’ll post five things I’ve done since the Friday before. Is anyone interested in joining me?
Of course, today isn’t Friday, but here are five things I’ve done since last time I posted.
1. I went to Boston to visit my parents and squeezed in a one-day detour to Springfield.
2. I finished NaKniSweMoDo sweater #8 (link to Ravelry project page):
3. I finished NaKniSweMoDo sweater #9 (link to Ravelry project page):
4. I released a new shawl pattern called Beach Glass. You can purchase it by clicking through to my Ravelry storefront and I’ll be adding it to the sidebar early next week.
5. I took a leisurely train ride to Ogden to visit one of my favorite yarn shops, the Needlepoint Joint.
What about you? Have you done something fun in the last month???
