So, I finished that little sweater for my friend.  I worked hard to get my FL done before the yarn show this past weekend but I was unsuccessful.

Jacob and I drove up to Waterloo (5 hours) after work on Friday.  We talked the whole way!!!  Can you imagine?  My almost-15-year-old had that much to say to me.

Michelle and I headed to the Kitchner/Waterloo Knitter’s Fair on Saturday morning.  This is the only picture I got of the show.  I had good intentions.

Picture this times 30.  There was a lot of yarn there.  I did really well though.  I went with $300.  I actually only spent about $115.00!  How awsome is that?  I was so proud.  Each skein of yarn has a project in its future.

When we got back from the show, it was a beautiful September afternoon so we decided to sit outside.  I did this:

She needs blocking and buttons but she’s pretty cute no?

I took pics of the kids and Michelle’s back yard/urban farm.

We had such fun.

Sunday, tired as I was, I sat on my arse and worked on Berto’s Cobblestone.

You almost can’t see it there on my couch!  I’m not quite sure about the color.  I got some dye while I was in Waterloo and may attempt to make this sweater a little more earthy.

Well, it’s time for me to hang with my kid and my couch with a couple of episodes of Entourage (it’s awsome) and my new project.

Unpause and off to the Fair!

    Hi Mylene!

    It has been a while since I was able just to sit infront of my computer and not search school things.
    I love your FL sweater! It is so beautiful! And all the pictures from your friends house, it looks like a wonderful spot.
    Looks like I have a lot of catching up to do in my reading 🙂

    The pictures are great, but I can’t open the ones with the little box. How’s Berto’s sweater coming along?
