Finally I have some things to blog about.  I hate to say it, but I really have just been doing work stuff for the last week or so and there just hasn’t been anything fun to talk about here.

This is a hat I knit for my Aunt.  She’s doing the glamorous shave-your-head-for-the-chemo thing and I thought she needed something stylish for fall to help her kick the cancer in the a**.  It’s Foliage from Knitty and the yarn is superwash wool Mini Mochi in a colorway called Spice Islands (or something like that).  I have knit this pattern two or three times now and I love it every time.  The lace pattern opens up when you put it on and it’s just pretty.  I added the flower.  I just felt like it needed one.

This is a scene from the state fair.  I just want you to appreciate the throngs of people.  Ugh.

Andy and I went to get ice cream, listen to a friend whose band was playing (they were awesome) and see a little art.  I had a piece in the Textile Center’s display.  Andy loves that he captured my reflection in this picture.  The rainbowy grid piece is mine.  It’s called “Intersect” and it is handdyed and embroidered.
