Congrats Jen and John

The wedding was a huge success! My weekend was filled with family events so not much knitting to post about but I do have some pictures to share, enjoy...

Jen and John booked a Trolley to take us around town. Way more awesome than a limo :)
Stopped at a playground...


Bride's first dance with the groom

Father of the bride :)

Sisterly love...

Lastly, Sam the Man, not invited to the wedding so he decided to ruin our post wedding picture by not cooperating...

Happy July 22nd!!!

Happy Anniversary Joel!!!! Two years ago today you made me proud to be your wife (yikes, wife sounds so old). You put up with me leaving one career to move to another, support me through school (again!), and most importantly never get annoyed with the growing yarn stash (granted you suggest with your looks that I am crazy for buying more but nonetheless never stop me). Love you hun!! ...ok, enough of the mushy stuff....

I am really happy with how Catriona is turning out! :) The cables were pretty rough at the beginning but now I understand they flow a little better. Unfortunately though, the yarn is very smooth and easy to split so cabling without a cable needle isn't working so well with this project. After about three rows of cables I gave up and went back to an old school cable needle to help me out :) Here is a picture of her! The first photo is most accurate of the color but the other shows the cables better (silly 9-5 job keeps me indoors and unable to take good knitting pictures).

The poor Mystery Stole is still sitting patiently waiting for me. Ugh. I just lost all motivation. After the wedding I plan to pick it back up and finish it, that way I can take it off the WIP list.

Unrelated note....Ewww, l was just watching the news while at work (yup, covering the front desk this AM) and I just heard on CNN about a salon in VA that gives pedicures via flesh eating fish gross!!

Jen and John are getting married this weekend so I'm off to PA and leaving the dog to hold down the couch. :)
