Change is good.
Like the new layout? (Those of you reading via Bloglines might want to take a look at the website!) My friend Zach worked his graphic arts magic and came up with the banner above. There's also a button (after all these years!):
(As usual, save to your own server, blah blah blah.)
What else is new?
Not much, folks. Today I finally feel mostly recovered from the flu or something of that sort, which knocked me flat on my bottom for a couple of days. The great, cruel irony of being home sick from work is that if you're too sick to work, you're too sick to knit, so I don't have much progress to offer you. Oh, wait! I do have a picture, taken not long before I had to pass out once again.
See? It fits.
I have been inspired by some sewn bags on Craftster, but Craftster is being a big meanie and not letting anything load. One of them is on A Mingled Yarn; she also recently posted a very cute cardigan pattern.
Did I mention I'm in a sewing mood? The other weekend, Matthew and I bought fabric for two Hawaiian-style shirts for him (he spent an adorably long time searching for buttons, but found perfect ones made out of coconut in the end), and a skirt (using the fabric on this magazine cover and strapless dress for me. Strapless, can you imagine? This amazingness brought to you by the YMCA and Lane Bryant, which sells a strapless bra that's wearable.
Too bad the sewing machine is in the dark and gloomy basement and it's been so beautiful outside. And since Sophie goes a little nuts when she's left to her own devices, I'd have to put her in her crate, and that's just sad.
To do this week: finish Sockapaloooza sock #2. Finish Forecast. Dream sweet dreams of Yarnover '06 and all the luscious things waiting there for me.
