It's Louisa's Birthday!
It's Louisa's Birthday!!! If you knew Louisa you would understand she would hugely appreciate a knitted gift and would be especially amused by a Mr. Peen and a Womb. Kaityln (also at work) knitted Mr. Peen and I had the pleasure of constructing the womb.....

Helllllo Cupcake and Thanks Hanna
So there is a new cupcake joint in town! Joel and I went to Hello Cupcake the other day. It was completely worth the metro money and the cost of the cakes...see....
Also, thanks to Hanna blowing through the area, Foxy got a bath. She was less than thrilled but it sure beat the usual attempt of heaving her into the tub for a bath.
(good job Joel - I will just sit and watch, get behind her ears!)
(I'm not sure who got the better bath)
As for knitting news...I really don't have much I can share. I have been working on some Christmas things so boo, no pictures. I did however finish a laptop sleeve for myself. While my design is super easy, I am really happy with how it turned out. I absolutely love my 'I'd rather be knitting' closure :)
Pattern: Just did a smocking stitch pattern
Yarn: Cascade Eco Wool (new favorite bulky yarn, and there really aren't many bulky weights I love)
Needles: US 8
I also have been making slow progress on my vest. See...
I still love it, just wish I had more time to work on it. Because of all the cables, it doesn't make the best commuting project and school/work has really cut into my time to knit at home since by the time I get home at night I am dead tired.
You ask what the turkey is behind the vest? I am in a Programming class this semester and have to put on a Fall Fiesta for kids ages 2-8 (seriously, could the age range be anymore extreme?!). Anyhow, I had to come up with an activity and thought the toilet paper turkeys were cute so that's my sample for my presentation. It is sad that I was super excited with how cute the turkey was when I was done.
Oh yea, school started! Not thrilled to be commuting to Prince William at the crack of dawn but I am really happy to be back and just to 'get 'er done.' I guess I am super excited to be back at the Freedom Center to swim. I am determined to look good by x-mas (I say this while I just took a batch of chocolate chip cookies out of the oven).
