After stash diving and swatching up a chunky Rowan yarn left over from Nate’s brief affair with knitting,

(it looks better in the picture than it does in person. In person, it’s lacking stitch definition).

I went to the yarn store and bought some Cashmerino Aran along with the new Debbie Bliss magazine, forgetting ’til I was almost to the car that Cashmerino Aran pills like crazy. Hopefully, a tea cozy doesn’t get enough wear to pill, though if I remember right, just being knit is too much for the integrity of this yarn. Oh well. It’s pretty.

As for the Debbie Bliss magazine… there’s a completely lovely pleated summer top that I luv. If I had a scanner, I’d show you. Maybe I’ll take a picture later. But I’m seriously thinking about making myself one.

“Battle of the Bleh’s” update-

Dried peaches and apricots- ok, just little waves of abdominal pain
Jack in the Box chicken strips with house Buttermilk sauce- goood
dinner of marinated jerk chicken and baked potato- good
Cheetos- definitely not good
tiny bite (and I mean tiny bite) of fig newton- Not. Good.
Turkey sandwich on homemade wheat bread with cheddar, light mayo, and cucumber- pretty good
