Sunny Day

It is finally a nice day outside... Beautiful blue sky and no rain at all... just what I have been wanting for so long, so naturally I spend the day sitting in a dark movie theatre. It didn't dawn on me that this wasn't the smartest plan for the day until I was walking home after the movie with my bag of ice cream in my arm.

Yes I bought a bag of ice cream, but not just any ice cream, it is the worlds best ice cream (which to me means cotton candy flavoured ice cream). And yes I opened up the containers at home and smelt them before sticking them in the freezer. This time, I promise they will last until Christmas... or at least until school starts.... okay maybe until next week.

I finished knitting the final sleeve for my Ebony Cardigan yesterday. I put the sleeves out to block last night (Is that even proper knit talk?). I am very eager to sew it up and try it on! Of course it still wouldn't be done after that. It will still need the button band and the collar (not necessarily in that order). I will reflect better on sweater knitting when I am all finished my first one. In the mean time my purple hat is coming along well. I worked out all the kinks while knitting Aminat's. There wouldn't have been so many mistakes if she would have given me more than a day to knit it. I haven't told her that I made mistakes and she never has to know because you really can't tell.... Honest!

There was a side walk sale at the yarn store yesterday. So naturally I make sure to give myself a reason to drive past it on my bike. The sale wasn't too great and I didn't go over board. I managed to refrain myself again from buying that deliciously soft yellow yarn that I've nearly bought twice before. I did however buy some wool yarn. I know wool hurts me, but I want proof that all wool hurts me. This wool is soft and I can't imagine it itching... as long as it doesn't make my eyes hurt.

It is nearly 7pm now and the sunshine should be nicely cast on the pool deck still, I am going to take my purple hat out there and try to enjoy the nice weather while it is still here!
