HVAÐ er þetta????

OK, so I am on day 4 of Sonja's mystery knitalong, and I am starting to think I misread the directions...


What the heck IS this? I was originally thinking maybe a tea cosy, but that's not it. Maybe it's a sweater for a mutant baby with two arms on the same side?

Yarn is some kind of New England yarn that was left over from some project or other. It's really more purple than blue, but the evening outside light decided to make it look blue. I think it may be Bartlettyarns.

I was going to post in process pictures this weekend, but it ended up being very busy. Saturday there were supposed to be four of us doing flower arragements for Easter church, but it ended up just being two of us, so that took all morning. (At least I got tons of compliments on Sunday on how pretty the flowers looked). Then we went to Boston because I need to get my birthday boots

adjusted. Years of dancing, playing soccer, and walking have ensured that I have muscular calves that don't really fit boots (why I didn't think of this when I mail ordered boots is beyond me). Luckily Fluevog has the best customer service EVER. They do a great job of doing any shoe adjustments needed on their shoes. And did you know, you can stretch shoes (as long as they are not purple vegetable dyed boots) with a solution of rubbing alcohol and water, you just spray it on and wear them, and they will stretch!

And of course I had to go to Lush while we were on Newbury Street (sorry Jenna for not getting you anything!), where I got this shampoo bar, it smells like licorice. I think it may be my favourite. It's a tie between that and Seanick.

Now I am reading a library book, The Good Fairies of New York. Neil Gaiman did the intro, and it's really fun (in a cheesy light way) so far.
