Ready for the next MKAL

Through the Loops Mystery Knit Along starts June 1.

I'm ready!

Neglected Pulli

Shawl and mittens completed (for now), the Mondo Cable Pulli comes back into play.

I'd forgotten how much I love the feel of this Malabrigo yarn.

Sunstruck went to work today

I got to wear Sunstruck to work today.

You can see (by the wrinkle in the back) where I lean into my chair.

The car came back

When Ben was in high school, his first car was a sweet little 1986 Saab hatchback.  That Saab's been sitting in a shed here at home since 2006.  We finally got it sent to the junk yard last week.

Every spring, the local EMS sets up a mock crash at the high school.  Usually it's before prom,to fully frighten the kids into good behavior, but this year they were snowed out.  The weather finally cooperated and they were able to do the mock crash.

And surprise!  

Two days later his car returned to the high school.

Looks a little beat up after they cut the (mock) injured students out of it.  Poor thing.

Sunstruck

Sorry Southern Minnesotans.  Blame us.  We wanted Paul to have today off as a holiday, and that was only going to happen if it rained.

We had a marvelously relaxing day.  Big brunch.  Movies (we watched Lincoln and Silver Linings Playbook).  Reading.  Knitting.

Sunstruck is complete.  

Honestly, the border took as long as the whole rest of the shawl.  Tomorrow I'll block it. 

I think I'll really like this one.
