Thanks!
Thanks, everyone, for the comments! I loved taking the lace pictures; the opportunity presented itself early Monday and I went with it. I really liked the play of light and dark on the second one, like Mia, who's been taking some fabulous pictures herself (check her previous entry for some hunky firemen!). From the spinning comments, I'm guessing that my rolags are fine? I enjoyed making them, actually. I had doubts about the felted state of the fiber, but a few runs on the ancient cards revived them. Oh, and they've spun up beautifully!
Here are some links for your perusal:
◊ Jared's awesome cardigan version of a ribbed/cabled sweater from P*ton's. I want to make one for BF!
◊ Filipino food blogs! Market Manila, Eat Matters, and Pinoy Cook. Filipino food is a great mishmash of Chinese, Malay, Indonesian, Spanish, and Filipino. Restaurants are hit-and-miss; they're either heavy on the grease or not flavorful enough. But you should definitely give it a try.
◊ I want to make a wee wonderfuls bunny for the niece.
◊ Have you seen Lauren's top-down crew-neck sweater? Amazing! And it took her what? A week? I feel like such a frickin' slacker.
◊ Photos of my road trip to New Mexico and Arizona. The digital point-and-shoot was great: light and compact, it's tumbled over a few hills in its time and has always come out unscathed.
◊ Okay, this is *rilly* funny (thanks to friend Dave for the link). I don't know if you've ever seen the little monster man clip, but you'll be laughing hard.
I've opened comments. Tell me you peed in your pants watching it. Or tell me anything!
