Wow this weekend was one of those rare very busy ones. ¬†We had something to do both days. ¬†I’m tired, and honestly, ready for another weekend, but of the more low key kind 
Friday night, I did indeed finish Selbu Modern on the way home. I even worked in the ends before getting of the train.  Here she is, unblocked:
In an unusual occurrence for me, I actually blocked it Friday night as well. ¬† ¬†After struggling with my standard coffee can + socks/t-shirt/bag as a blocking method, I read the pattern instructions and went for the 10″ plate. ¬†Awesome idea!
I then put the plate on top of the coffee can and placed the works in front of the heating vent in my bathroom.  She was dry almost before I went to sleep after an awesome Battlestar Galactica episode!  
(Tis hard to take a picture of yourself wearing a jaunty beret!) ¬†J’adore mon beret! ¬†
After finishing with the beret, I finally picked out my yarns for the sock yarn club. ¬†I only signed up for six months but have left open the options to extend for the remainder of the year. ¬†I did kind of rig the first package because I just received a yarn order and wanted to use that first, but I’ll let myself slide for that. ¬†I cast on Mini Mochi in the blue (108) colorway, using the freebie pattern from Socks a la Carte (c’est une Ravelry link)! I then proceeded to order the
book
The yarn is super soft, but is a single, that is loosely plied. ¬†Its alot like knitting with Noro, but way softer. ¬†I’m using a US0, primarily because the pattern is 64st and with my wee feet, that’s the only way they’re going to fit. ¬†I think I’d normally use a 1 for this yarn.
After dropping the kids at the house, I ran to Jessica’s for her monthly fiber gathering. ¬†I spent a few hours amongst the similarly afflicted 
¬†I then got a bonus of having dinner with Tina and Jessalu at what they redundantly call a “Greek Diner”. ¬† I always have camnesia at these events. ¬†Not sure why but I do.¬†
Yesterday, Sandi, Kim and I went bowling along with Liam and the twins.  
Sandi took the picture, which is why she’s not here. ¬†Ignore the lady to my left as she’s just an innocent bystander. ¬†Why are we standing outside? ¬†Because of this:
Yeah. ¬†Just after I threw my first ball, the fire alarm sounds and they announce a “fire drill”. ¬†The building emptied into the parking lot. ¬†In my book, when they turn up in the gear, it ceases to be a fire drill, but that’s just me! ¬†It was a false alarm and we were allowed back inside to finish up. ¬† I’m pretty sure a good time was had by all. ¬†Sandi and I returned to my house where we played a few games of Wii bowling with the monkeys.
Whew.. I’m beat!
Craft on!
