Fortunately the creeping ick that passed through the house didn’t last through the weekend. ¬†Alex’s fever ended on Friday, figures because I took him to the pediatrician then. ¬†Saturday he was a little low key, which was all right be me. ¬†We took a pajama day and watched movies while I knit. ¬†After the monkeys went to bed, I watched The Other Boleyn Girl and finished Adamas which I blocked this morning:
I had my blocking supervisors to make sure all went well.
For some reason, I expected this shall to be smaller. No idea why, but I did.  I love it!  The pattern was easy to memorize and just looks very nice.  It reawakened my lace love and reminded me I have another lace project.  I pulled this one out again:
 
Wedding Ring Shawl
I managed to work 6 rows today and hope to do a few every day. ¬†This is a LONG TERM project, but it doesn’t have to be a forever one. ¬†
It was also time to return to Mr. Greenjeans, or in my case, Mr. Not-So-Greenjeans. ¬†I picked it up again late this afternoon while watching a hockey game. ¬†My Ex introduced me to the NHL when we were first dating and we regularly watched games throughout our relationship. ¬†Unfortunately our team is out of market. ¬†While I will root for the Devils as they are the local team, my heart belongs to the Boston Bruins. ¬†Guess this doesn’t come as a surprise with my avowed devotion to the Red Sox (3 days to the first spring training game!!!). ¬†G and I even went so far as to put up a satellite dish so we could watch our team play. ¬†When we split, he got the dish and I haven’t really kept up with the boys… or the rest of the NHL ¬†(with the exception of watching my fav player of all time win his first Stanley Cup after being traded to Colorado). ¬†
Now though, you don’t need a satellite dish to watch out of market games…
You just need a computer! ¬†I got an email last week from MLB.tv regarding the season subscription that was about to renew. ¬†They’ve packaged the remainder of the NHL season with it for an extra $25. ¬†SOLD. ¬†I have a lot of catching up! (Like when did Tampa Bay change their home uniforms to those dopey ones that say “BOLT” on them??)
Anyway, I made some serious progress on Mr. Not-so-Greenjeans:
Yup. ¬†I’m up to the cable rib portion at the bottom. ¬†Lurve the Malabrigo in the Buscando Azul. ¬†
I’ve stayed up way too last the last couple of nights so I think I’ll call it an early night,
Craft on!

Beautiful shawl and I too have a love for Buscando Azul. Be forewarned. It bleeds like a stuck blue pig in the sink.

Your Adamas is beautiful. It’s on my list of shawls to do…after Print o’the Wave and about a dozen others. You’re almost done with Mr. GJ…go you! Mine is still sitting in Time Out.

Wow, that is some serious lace! Beautiful. I don’t think my brain works in lace so I’m very impressed.

Adamas is beautiful. Lace is so addictive. So is Malabrigo by the way. thanks for adding that to my list of addictions.

Did you like the movie? I picked up the book after you’d mentioned it and then I watched the movie.
