Maplewing D

DSC_0004_0004b

And so we move onto Pattern Section D on my Maplewing Shawl. The rows are getting shorter, which is a plus. I’m getting awfully close to the end of my 3rd skein of yarn, though, so … it’s lucky I have a fourth tucked away in my stash! I’m pretty sure I’m going to need at least some of it.

Oh, and miraculously, this is pretty close to the actual color, for a wonder.

Hey, remember the ventriloquist who won “America’s Got Talent” a couple years ago? (A show, I assure you, that I don’t watch since I don’t “do” reality shows.) But I saw him on YouTube and was blown away–a ventriloquist that not only does impressions, but who can do impressions of SINGING? Super impressive. Well, he’s got a DVD of his Las Vegas show coming out. (And yes, I know, I groan at most ventriloquists, too, but every video clip I’ve seen of this guy, he’s entertaining and remarkably GOOD, so, you know.)

I wish I had more interesting things to tell you. Been going to work. Been writing book reviews. Been doing some freelancing. Been trying to get someone interested in my book.

Been nursing Chappy, not that he needs it any more. Except for a little bald spot–which may or may not be permanent–where his bug bite was, he’s back to his regular self. Phew!

Hey, have you ever tried the frozen yogurt from the Bloomingdales “Forty Carrots” shop? Or from that snazzy new place, “Pinkberrys”? They’re not the sweet frozen yogurt that’s been around for ages, but, instead, real, tangy frozen yogurt. Frozen yogurt that tastes like, well, yogurt. Well, I found a recipe I want to try. The part I’m skeptical about? Every time I’ve ever tried frozen yogurt from anywhere OTHER than an actual soft-serve machine, it tastes too icy, not creamy. Still … it sounds tasty!

  2. Maplewing is gorgeous. And what a coincidence with the yogurt. I’m about to go out and get me some frozen yogurt from Yorganic. It’s very good and refreshing since it’s not sweet but tangy. I do like the regular ice-cream style frozen yogurt too

  3. the shawl is looking great, love the color. Shorter rows are always wonderful! Glad chappys feeling better. Have not tried either of the yogurts.. did order a yogurt maker yesterday though! (also makes sour creme, creme fresh, yogurt cheese, etc. Also splurged on the learn to make mozzarella kit!Now i just need goats!)
