Quietish

Since Jamie has been spending her afternoons at school Cian and I have, more often than not, spent the time between drop-off and pick up at Charlie Bean.

Yesterday after I picked Jamie up, we popped BACK in for “dinner” before I rushed off to knit in Norman. The dude that usually brings me drinks throughout the afternoon accused me of being a coffeehouse addict.

Then today when Cian and I arrived our normal 45 minutes before Jamie’s dismissal, the gal who also waits while I do told me that we really smell like coffee. And that it was a good thing. Well yes, there are certainly much worse things to smell like.

Then this evening as I worked on finishing up the toe of my current sock, I took a whiff and sure enough, even the knitting smells like coffee. They do tend to be roasting beans when we’re in there.

Anywho.. I said yesterday that I would pop in and show my knitting progress.

Here’s Cian’s gansey. I still haven’t charted the sleeves, but I intend to keep them simple so that part will be easy enough.

And my sock, which is actually a few rounds from done now.

BTW, this is a Cedar Dancing Sock from Cat Bordhi’s new book. Spiffing!

Now I’m going to go walk jog (I totally need to do a Rivendell update soon) and then have some coffee because I actually didn’t have any today. I just smelled like it while I drank tea.

Oh hi. We were out of town all weekend. I am happy to report that my (late) sps once again includes Kelly.

Awesome weekend. We think that retirement in a house on a mountain in the middle of nowhere with family and friends surrounding could be a good goal to have. Mm, yes.

For now though, we have stolen weekends.
Here, have a bunch of pics. CLICK

I promise I’ve been knitting and stuff. I should have something to post soon.
