I didn’t do any knitting yesterday. I cleaned the fish tank, cleaned other things, made meals…. the usual stuff. Plus, I worked with Abner

most of the day, trying to get him fully integrated into, and behaving in, the house. Working towards the day when he can wander freely. Today, I think I’m going to sit and knit, I mean rest.

Last night, my friend Celeste and I went to the mall to buy a dress for her daughter. ( I already told you I wasn’t resting). I saw the most ridiculous thing, it was a poncho (Jessica) made entirely of organza. What the heck? That is going to serve no purpose, whatsoever except to look trendy. I guess that’s the point of “accessories”, but it looked so weird. I don’t think I would have noticed it, but one of my favorite bloggers has been making fun of ponchos for awhile now, and I always harass her about it, so I thought it was only fair to say that last night, I saw what she was talking about. This doesn’t change the fact that I love a good poncho. The fad has just gotten out of control. (I am also a hypocrite, because I think that organza wraps are totally cool).

I was thinking about mom’s sweater yesterday. Remember? You haven’t heard about it in awhile, have you? Well, it has sleeves now, and one side of the sweater is seamed. It looks nice. It has been hanging in my coat closet, waiting to be finished since mid November. I was thinking, yesterday, about why it’s still there. This is out of character for me. I’m a finisher.

Fear. That’s right. I’m afraid it isn’t going to fit her well, and I’m delaying. I need to get over it. So today, I’m planning on seaming the sweater and working more on the lovely mohair peony for the Flowerswap. Wish me luck.

UPDATE- Yikes! I forgot, it’s Hayden along day. I’ve been really enjoying your Haydens. Keep ’em coming. How are you doing with them, knitalongers? Since last week, Malle has finished another one, and Jenika finished hers! Great job! Hayden is working on her Hayden. Hehe. And Maddie posted about finishing hers, but I haven’t seen any PICTURES yet. Hint, hint.
