Anniversary
Well, this was ironic.
Today was the first day it was finally cool enough to wear my Celtic Icon sweater . . . one year from the time I swatched and started knitting it. There’s something about that just tickles me.
So, I started it a year ago, finished it in June, and finally got to wear it for the first time four months later, on the anniversary of having begun it. I think this is some kind of record.
I will say, though, now that I’ve worn it? It doesn’t like to sit on my shoulders unless it’s zipped. Something about the size or the raglan shaping or the weight of the hood keeps encouraging it to slide down my arms. I think I’m going to have to stitch that button on at the neck after all.
Ooh–look at this very nifty site of transforming, space-saving furniture. The Trey chair alone is so, so cool.

House Calls
It’s rather nice, I think, to be swathed in knits this cold, gray October day!
Happy anniversary Celtic Icon sweater!
Now THAT’s iroc. Not that silly Alannis Morrissette song…
Whoa, that’s SOME furniture. The motorized sofa cracked me up. And congrats on the celtic icon. I still want to make mine, but forgot what size needles I used on the swatch…am hoping it’s written down somewhere.
Finally cold weather! I’m so happy I’m beside myself. I’ll probably be sick of it come February but right now? Happy as a clam.
The couch/bunk bed is really clever - but dang, I have enough trouble remembering the steps to convert my futon couch to a bed…
Good time to break out a sweater. And I do love that furniture site.
