Backing Up
You’ve just got to love a sweater that moves along this quickly. (Especially after my last two marathon-sweaters.) Here’s the back. I just started shaping the armholes, which means the back is almost done. So quickly! I just love that….
I also finished one of my socks, which is also exciting. Well, you know what I mean. Satisfying, anyway.
With apologies to the many people stuck in the middle of a massive heat wave, but it was actually cold here today. Relatively cold, that is. It never even reached 70 degrees F, and it rained. All day. Blah. Really, a good day for knitting. Pity I had to spend it at work.
I wore my hair in a ponytail today to get the hair-dye reek away from my face, using one of my favorite new hair gizmos–a hair bungee. (As seen in this video.) My ponytail stayed perfectly in place all day. No slipping. Ideal. (There’s another video here, which has some pretty harsh-looking pulling-of-hair, but which shows how to make one yourself out of two bobby pins and a hair elastic.)
Tomorrow, Mom and I are planning on going to a farmer’s market, maybe taking Chappy to the park, or out somewhere. He really just deserves an outing, you know? The weather’s been so . . . unwalkable lately.
Have a good weekend, everyone.

i can’t wear my hair in a pony tail. it’s so long it doesn’t help at all! i have to either braid or bun it.
and it was 94 here with a heat index of 105. i don’t think we’ve had a day with a high under 70 since may. sigh.
Gotta love a quick knit! I have some yarn reserved for a Ribby, too.
My hair is just about long enough to put in a pony tail again, which means I really need to go get it cut…
Sounds like a good weekend. You have a good one, too.
I have so much knitting I want to do and am just not getting to! Where are you that it was so cool? It was 62 in the house this morning, but by 8:30 here it’s gone up a few degrees. I never let my hair get long enough to do anything with!
The sweater is looking great so far!
8:30am here and 52 degrees…brrrrrr I actually have flannel pajama pants on!
Enjoy the Farmer’s Market!
It cooled down enough on Friday that I was able to wear my newly finished Opal socks! Your sweater is just speeding along! WOW!
That sounds like the weather we had on the 4th! It was kind of a nice break.
