I was right...

treeskin...Shop Stweard was not as impressed with Mr 8-Legs as I was. His loss. Said spider was still in his box, still alive, so I'm going to take it over to Donna later today, have her put it in her Critter Cage.
It was a long weekend, for both of us. Sunday was the HSA meeting, which is long, and boring, but not at all restful, then over to the Charlesworth's for dinner and visiting. Monday I spent in the greenhouse helping Donna (15 flats of seed started!), while By worked on the bars, and picked up a load of boards from one of Albert's jobs. I did laundry and string yesterday, trying to rest up. The string was not cooperative, so it wasn't restful either. By put in part of the day with Robyn, then ran down to Albert's job on 95th St for more lumber for Robyn's cabin. He's finishing one of the bars this morning, then back down to the salvage job. (Albert's only got a week to finish this, so it's get in and get what you can, before they doze it down.)
The UnSock Report: was nearly finished with the Sea Breeze vest yesterday, when I discovered that my gauge was off, and the nearly-finished product would have fit my mother, which made it a tent on me. Gak. It took forever and a day (which equals the first two Harry Potter movies) to rip it out, since the mohair loop sticks to itself enthusiasticly. Two gauge swatches and needle changes later, the vest is now 1 pattern repeat done (equals a bit over an inch). *sigh*
Still working on the Scalloped Hem Dress. It's 18" long now, into the hip/waist shaping, and that's the slow part, because I have to stop every so often and see how it's doing. But it looks decent so far.
Cat, I changed my mind (again!) on what I want to do with the cone of green lace yarn. Have you seen the Kiri Shawl? Here is a pic of someone's finished shawl, not attached to a pdf. Nice, isn't it? I think it'll show off the yarn better than the Spiral Nebula Shawl would.

They just got back from Canada (Friday, I believe). He's finally legal, so they got a U-Haul and went to pick up all the things he's had in storage forever, and visited his family. He hadn't seen them in 3 years.
Let's see, you did hear they bought a house last summer, didn't you? They moved in Oct, I think it was, and have spent a lot of time working on the house. (I know one of the pre-move-in projects was to update all the wiring.)

Date: 2005-03-16 05:23 pm (UTC)Lessee, what else have they been up to...They're getting much more involved with the CUUPS group in Omaha, trying to build a local community. And they've been wading through various drama with the Omaha Heretics--Cy & Amy broke up (well, Amy came to her senses and kicked him out), Heather moved to Virginia with her boy toy last summer, then left him to go to Montana with some guy she met online...it's making A & K look sane and stable.
They'll be down the first weekend in April for a wood-busting weekend; probably stay out at camp. And one or both of them will probably be down the Sunday after that for the HSA meeting, since it's board and officer elections.
