Rainy Days and Mondays

It rained all weekend.




Following the collective wisdon of my fearless readers, I have completed (except for the sewing of one button at the back neck and blocking), the little Hokey Pokey dress.

I think it looks so much better as a jumper.

It will be a lot less itchy, too.

I tried really hard to do a picot bind-off (JFGI), but though it was well-executed (if I do say so), it was just lumpy. And combined with the itch factor, it wasn't going to cut it under the chin.




Here's the finishing:



I used it on the neckline and the armholes.

Here's how.

Pick up the stitches. Work one row/round. K2 tog, yo around. Work 2 more rows/rounds even. Fold on the yo round and tack it in place on the inside, one stitch at a time.

There is no bind off in this method to keep it stretchy.

It's fiddly, but it works.









We have had a guest for the past several days. Do you see him?

We put out his favorite food (sugar water) and hope he will (as he has in summers past), brough his mate and children to visit as well.

There he is, on the Red-Hot pokers.











Do you see him now?





We watched movies.

Reviews:

Syriana will make you think. A lot!

Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (on TiVo) is a fluffy teen chick flick.

Elizabethtown is a fluffy adult chick flick.

All were entertaining.
