Why does trial and error have to contain so much error? I found out the hard way that if you cut fleece in one direction of the fabric, it rolls onto itself, shreds, and makes a terrible mess. Since I am not good at estimating what I need I'd bought plenty of fabric and was able to do another cut in the right direction. The result? This crazy rasta topper for the hat I knitted for baby Helen This is a bigger size than the other one I made for her; hopefully she'll get some decent wear out of it. I love the crazy fleece topper - it was a challenge to get it on, but I think it came out so cute.  I also knitted a newborn-sized striped hat for baby Davis, to match his striped baby blanket:  Honestly, I still can't quite believe that I am able to knit in the round and make baby hats! They really are fun to knit and I can get one finished in a few hours, provided I don't twist my stitches when I join the first round (yeah, that's happened more than a few times...)(see trial and error reference, above). ******************** We had a little social run for frozen yogurt earlier in the week, and since I was planning on running the next morning, I went but didn't run. Which meant that I was dressed in regular clothes, and had my hair down for a change. Two people didn't recognize me right away. I laughed, but I get it - normally I look practically bald from the front, what with my hair pulled back with a headband and ponytail, not to mention bleary-eyed and no make up. Too funny...but you'd be surprised how often that happens when you normally only see people dressed to run. ******************** Speaking of running, I stocked up on our favorite GU flavors recently  Some people buy wine by the case; I buy GU by the case. I think this should get us through the rest of our long runs and races this year!******************** Paco's allergies have been really bad the last couple of days, and he's chewing himself raw. The cone of shame had to come out, and to say he was not happy about it would be an understatement:  I can hardly stand to look at you, mean mom.  Might forgive you if you throw food in my mouth. Right now.******************** It's supposed to be in the 50s for our 10 mile run tomorrow - the 50s!!! Now THAT is going to be nice. Other than the run, we probably won't be getting out much, as LSU is coming town, and apparently those fans are all kinds of crazy. Best for us to avoid the madness and watch it unfold on TV - it's funny that we can watch the A&M game on TV and go outside and hear the marching band play - feels a little Twilight Zone to me. Have a great weekend! |
