In preparation for dinner I've marinated the flat iron steaks, made potatoe salad, whipped up a key lime pie (with key limes!) and have white corn on the cob waiting to go into the pot. I'm looking forward to dinner! ;-) I had to take a picture of the key lime pie, since its my first attempt and it looked pretty. It will look prettier with its whip cream and lime zest later too:
Thursday afternoon I stopped in at JoAnn's to pick up some ceramic glue and found a copy of June's Simply Knitting magazine on the stand, 10% off. This is a UK magazine that always has a goodie included with the actual magazine and often a bonus insert. This one had some bamboo dpns and a dpn holder as well as a cool sock pattern:
This year the Honeyberry had favorable conditions and produced more than two or three berries:
I'm going to probably blend them in with a milkshake. ;-)I showed the pink superwash that was given to me. I spun up what was on the bobbin at the weekly spinning on Wednesday. It was approximately 1.4 ounces. I weighed out 1 ounce this morning and spent the afternoon between projects spinning it up. It's my contribution for Day 1 of Tour de Fleece. I'm part of two wildcard teams: Fleece Bottom Girls and Portland Spinnerati. I want to finish up the pink and try to get the one pound of purple Jacob I picked up at Dublin Bay during the Seattle-PDX Yarn Crawl back in January. The pink:
Last night I figured out that the reason why I had 'so much leftover yarn' for the Bonsai Swing Top was because I was almost done with the back portion. I had conveniently forgotten I was supposed to do two pieces of the bottom skirt. I had really hoped to get this done over the weekend and be able to take in to the shop on Monday. I'll see how far I get but I'm certainly not holding my breath on that one! I forgot to take a WIP pic of it today, so will try for tomorrow.
Tour de Fleece means that there will most likely be more blog posts, shorter too. ;-)
Have a happy and safe 4th of July celebrations!
