Title, Shmitle

So what did you do this weekend? I hung out with Anastasia Myskina. Well, we were separated by 2 tiers of seats, an umpire, countless ballkids and a bodyguard or two... Here's Maria Sharapova:

she of the endless legs and golden tresses, warming up in one of the side courts. I had to crop out the drooling men; it was obvious they were watching her... forehand swing. (smirk)

And did I tell you my new best friend is Lindsay Davenport? We watched her 3 days in a row at the Acura Classic, swinging her way through her matches in a cute pink dress. And while I was rooting for Anastasia, who was clearly the underdog at the finals, I was happy to see Lindsay win, 6-1, 6-1. Did I also tell you that she's almost 14" taller than me? And that all of it was Leg?

Lest you think Yummy Yarn has turned into a sports and books blog, here's a finished left front of Grace:

It needs blocking, of course, but I'll wait until I have the right front before doing so. The directions for the fronts call for 2 sets of needles (a heads-up to Mariko and Jill), which proved to be a little difficult with straights, so I compromised with knitting every 4th row with the smaller needles. I'm not sure if that was a success, as you can tell that the ribbing is slightly larger and longer than the cabling. If blocking doesn't do the trick, I'll have to do some short rows (paging Nancie Wiseman!) on the collar.

I've also been working on my winter knits, trying to get the easier projects done first. I've got 2 beanies down and one on the needles. When I've amassed a pile I'll do some show and tell!
