almost done

well i've almost finished the sleeves for my mom's boatneck sweater. i just want to check to see that they are long enough then its 8 more rows, bind off, and finished. so exciting. but i think i'll have to get an elf to finish it for me. i hate that part. who wants to sew up seams. so boring.
and i've decided that i absolutely must remake the handles for the felted bag i finished back in january. i washed them without the seam binding in and they stretched out! oops. must remember to read the instructions before felting anything in the future... so anyway i'm reknitting those and maybe then i'll have that bag finished finally.
the question is what to cast on next? there's the seed stich shell from this summer's vogue...or the ribbed tank from interweave...or i could pick up another set of needles and make tempting...decisions decisions. what will i make? i have to figure it out though. i need something to work on at our all night knitting bash this weekend. i simply can't wait. update! i've finished knitting my mom's classic elite boatneck. but i still have to seam it up...have to learn how to do that :P blah. maybe another day!

what do you do

with a beautiful day off? well we went for a "scent"ic drive out to the beach. we being the dog. and me. she loves to stick her nose out the window and smell where we are going. we took a few lonely roads. ok, so maybe like 10 little roads. i make turns at random when i'm not in a hurry. and can you blame me? just check out the view! it really was spectacular. i would love to live out this way! we finally arrived at north beach in point reyes national seashore. they have a few beaches where leashed pets are allowed. i snacked on a quick lunch of tomatoes, figs, raisins, and almonds (from the farmer's market again) then we headed down to the water. my baby is 12 and she's never seen the ocean. i must be a terrible mother or something. she was just staring and staring. she couldn't get enough. after repeatedly chasing and running away from the waves for a half an hour she was content to just sit back and relax on a dune. and then she stood and told me it was ti...
