On Progress and Purchases
Today is Timmy's birthday, and his sweater is done! Ends tucked, lightly blocked, ready to go. All I need is something to wrap it in to bring to his party tomorrow. I'll post pictures of him wearing it after the gift giving. I'm sure it will be a little big, but that's good for a 10 yo, maybe he'll get a few years out of it.
Today I finally made the trip back to Halcyon Yarn to return the unused rug wool and spend my refund. I did pretty well, only went $10 over my refund amount so it was pretty guilt-free. Ended up with two books that I've been wanting, and some yarn for a scarf for sis. She spied a scarf I had made a couple of years ago, put it on and declared that she "needed it". So I offered to make her one for her birthday - not wanting to give mine up. The yarn for hers isn't exactly what mine is made of, but it's just about the same color.
And just because I can, I'll post a couple of pics of Moebius in the back yard playing frisbee. The trick is to get him to actually give up the frisbee so I can throw it to him. He's a pretty good frisbee-catcher once he lets me have it.
Like the blaze orange hat turned doggie-scarf? He wears that during hunting season so he isn't mistaken for a deer (kind of has the right coloring and he bounces through the woods too). I put it on him whenever we go out without a leash because this time of year, he blends in with all of the brown. See how the orange stands out in the second picture? I can find him anywhere in the woods instead of listening for his rustling.
