This Week: 2015.06.12
Chaos Tamed
- Gifts were wrapped well in advance and brownies were baked the night before CK's surprise birthday party. She was indeed surprised, the BBQ was fantastic, and I even played a little volleyball without injuring anyone.
- Six--count 'em--six cakes were baked for Yiayia & Papou's retirement party. My MIL is baking another six and together they'll all be table decorations with flowers in the middle to "fix" the hole, à la My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
- I expanded my definition of "bus knitting" to include larger projects, like the Yellow & Gray Ripple Baby Blanket I've been working on. Thanks to that, I finished almost an entire baby blanket in a week. Crazy!
Chaos Unleashed
- This post got deleted while I wasn't looking. Not cool, Blogger, not cool. I think it was when I tried to access it via mobile where it had an older version stored.
- I got a knitting machine. E swears he told me about it several times, but I'm thinking he pronounced it as "knitting things" or is just misremembering altogether. Bottom line is that he came in the door one night with a huge knitting machine. Something about one of the church ladies not knowing how to use it and so now it's with me. Haven't had any time to poke at it yet, though.
- I just found out about Joan of Dark's Geek Knits book and I must have it: Miracle Laurie is in it, which means knitting and Dollhouse have been combined and that is so ridiculously fantastic! I can't stop fangirling over it. (There are other swoon-worthy celebs in it, too, but I first heard about it from Laurie and it helps that she's modeling a shrug with some seriously sexy cables.)
