JessaLu Knits (and Spins!)

Wondering what everybody’s been up to over the Summer? Need a quick Jim fix? Click here. You will not be disappointed ;o)

For all you knitters…I have begun a new project:

Behold a sleeve swatch for a Central Park Hoodie in Silky Wool - see? I DO knit something other than socks! ;op

…this week because I had to meet with clients in Queens yesterday - no there was no yarn shopping :o( I did get breakfast at the diner on the way and a good picture while heading out of the city, though:

Today’s post is late because I’ve been chasing around a ‘lost’ package that the sub UPS guy decided to just give to a random person yesterday and then note that it was delivered ‘cross street’. What. a. nightmare.

In other exciting news, last Monday during that refreshing cold snap we had in the Northeast I broke out the CSM to make some socks. The grand total made that day was….FOUR pairs (seriously, how cool is that?), two of which are for RR:

The top two are for RR and are made out of Austermann Boot Stretch. The bottom two are for me, the Left one is Stretch, the Right one is Phoenix Fiberworks sock yarn (the one with silk…tag is long gone so I’m no help). Not bad for a days’ work, eh? ;o)

One more thing - Bloglines has their new beta version up for testing. Not sure how I feel about it yet but go check it out for yourself!

…my thermometer went this high.

The 100.4f number is the outdoor number, the one below it is the indoor (only the bedroom has a/c…bleh) and the numbers to the left are the humidity numbers. Oh and the little arrows in the little boxes show the trends - apparently the humidity is dropping while the temp is going up…well…at least it’ll be a dry heat… (oh and pay no attention to the dust…*ahem*) ;o) [ETA: RR says that the outside humidity thingy must be broken unless it’s actually 122% humidity which would also explain why it thinks it’s raining outside…)

However, my fancy-schmancy indoor/outdoor ‘weather center’ appears to be mistaken on the precipitation aspect since there is nary a raincloud in sight (other than the one seen over my head):

There you go, Sandy, in honor of your Birthday (Happy Birthday!) I’ve managed to post a picture of the sky on Saturday. ;o) (speaking of Sandy and Birthdays - she has requested a very unselfish gift this year, we should all be so generous. No, really, we should - go donate!) :o)

Knitting? What knitting? I promise, I’ll post about knitting soon…or spinning, since I seem to do that once in a while, too ;o)
