Sometimes you don't know how to express thanks when you see a member of the military cross your path.
Here's how: The Gratitude Campaign
May 2008 Archives
It's official! Matt and I are signed up for the Concreteman triathlon in almost exactly 2 months. It's a sprint-distance triathlon: 500m swim; 12.5 mi bike; 2 mi run. I think I'm going to do a trial run of all three distances tomorrow - hopefully the weather will cooperate!
Yep, it's a new sweater. (I'm actually a lot further along than this. The back and both little sleeves are done.)
Flutter Sleeve is driving me crazy. The top half (above the ribbed waist) is way too long, so I have to rip out a good portion of it, to shorten it up. I already did a lot of the ripping, but I just can't make myself restart it yet. So - new sweater! It's a short-sleeved cardi from Vogue Knitting, Spring 07. Ravelry link.
I also started a really simple cowl, to decide whether or not I like them.
Some people had fun at the Fair...
(Hi Heather! Hi bunnies!)
Some did not!
I really enjoyed it, myself! It was a beautiful day, sunny and warm but not too hot. I had fun hanging out with my knitting friends Heather and Dallas (and seeing even more knitty buddies and random Ravelers), and I came home with some really soft handspun, a skein of beautiful pink and brown variegated laceweight merino, and sheepsmilk cheese!
I'll be there, will you?
Window-shopped on South Congress...
Chowed down at the Salt Lick...
Hiked at Enchanted Rock...
Saw Wilco play at Stubb's...
And last but not least -
Goggled at the State Capitol Building.
Before heading back to Springfield, and regular life.....
The weather is warm... the birds are chirping... and I just can't get that excited about blogging these days. I'm sure once the humidity hits 95% I'll be a lot more excited about it. =)
In the meantime, I'll be running, biking, and swimming to train for the Concreteman sprint tri in July, knitting a little bit, taking a trip to Austin, attending a fiber festival, and making a quilt for my friend Brianne's daughter's 1st birthday, and generally spending as much time outside as possible.
I'll probably pop in to post pictures from time to time. See ya!
