yeah

okay, so here's the report: the pattern i posted about on friday is wallis (rav link), and it's already a pain. mr puffy is right; it's a rowan pattern, from book #38. i knit several garments from this book when i first got back into the whole knit scene in 2005, with no snags at all. this one, well. let's just say i'm knitting the xs and it's asking me to decrease where there are no stitches available to do so. *sigh*

but it's a GOOD weekend because on friday evening i was promoted at work! so i've put down the needles and spent some time outside in the early june gloom with my new camera. one of the things i love about venice is that one minute it looks like this:


and the next like this:


let's see what else i've got for 'ya...








yes, venice is a strange, strange place. i think we fit in well.


don't you?

sunday in the city*

well, it's been 80 degrees and sunny all weekend, so snow white hasn't been taken for her inaugural outing.




but i do love her so, and it's going to turn cool and rainy this week! i think she's appropriate for the office... ?

all this sun means lots of outside time. it's kite weather:




and gardening weather:






ah, if only i had my own plot in the city garden! time to tackle my taxes and knit - happy sunday!

*lovingly borrowed.

purpose

i love venice. today the sailboats were out and dolphins were playing. down the boardwalk a man squiggled his torso through a tennis racket and another pet his two-headed turtle.


and me? i've got some knitting to do.
