Flippin’ Sweet!
By Holly | July 19, 2007
So far, there has been dinky progress on MS3. Behold:
that would be all of Clue #1, Chart A! Woo! I suck! It’s really not my fault. First I had to wait for all the appropriate supplies. Got those. Here’s a little detail:
Mr. took these pics so the work isn’t stretched at all. He’s totally paranoid about messing up my WIPs, which I appreciate. I think I am doing pretty well considering it’s my first big lace project. I just follow the pattern and it’s really just variations on knit & purl, right? Then I spent last weekend on my bike:
Saturday we rode to Clarkston. That was somewhere in the 25+ mile range. That trip was kind of spur of the moment so we had no padding. Sunday we put on the padded shorts and rode out to Stone Mountain. That’s 35 miles roundtrip. Mr. was laughing about how “that’s not too bad” when it finally dawned on him that we felt so worn out because it was 35 miles on fixed gear bikes. 35 miles of pedal, pedal, pedal. The last few miles were just hunker down and get it done. My legs were tired, I was gritty and my hoo-hoo was numb. But I did it. I love riding my bike. I plan to ride my bike everyday we are at the beach. That should be awesome since it’s flat and I can go like hell. In between bike rides I plan to knit on my stole, get some sun and work on my alcoholism.
Then, too, the last three nights have been taken up with movies in my park, some IFC thing. Tuesday was Raising Arizona, Wednesday was Princess Bride and tonight is Napoleon Dynamite. So I have been sitting out there and knitting on my RSC sock. I can’t pay attention to a chart, gab and drink so sock knitting is the natural alternative. Y’all keep your fingers crossed that the rain is done for tonight. If it does rain at least we won’t be far from home.
