what now? wednesday

i'm not sure what to do next. i know i want to knit something cotton, something summery. maybe a tank? or a shawl? maybe lace? i am seriously considering orangina. i'm not sure it would be a good fit for me, i think i would add a little length. but it does appeal to me. i am thinking it may look cute with a fitted t-shirt underneath? i am not really a bare arms kinda gal. and you know what? it is a downloadable pattern. there is nothing better than instant gratification when it comes to online purchases.

summer is approaching quickly and my thoughts are definately turning towards all things sunshine. today i picked up a lovely beverage that would go well with sitting and knitting on the porch (nevermind that i don't have a porch).



jones soda fascinates me. their flavors are quirky. i was a little disappointed in this one. when i read "lemon drop" i mistakenly thought of my favorite cocktail. sans alcohol of course. it tasted like an unfrozen lemon otter pop. you remember those icey things you used to eat when you were little? the ones that got your fingers all sticky? not so good.

and what was i knitting while drinking this so-so soda? the only project that i have on the needles, you know the one i seem to be avoiding...



i am sooo close to finishing the second side. i can't say i did a better job with the decreases on this side. i do believe it would have been nice to have the instructions for the decreases in the pattern for dummies like me. so i will have to live with my less than perfect attempt at the decreases. but at least it will finally be off the needles!

i had another delivery from the cute ups guy, but i wasn't home! drat. he left me a purchase i made on ebay a few weeks back.



i should have gone with my gut and bought the size larger but i was being cheap. so it is modeling the only knit item i have that fits on it. my very skinny tube scarf. and probably one of the few knit items i have made that hasn't made it on this blog (well until now!).

i was waiting to show these until they made it to their intended recipient, but i think i am safe, she should be getting them tomorrow.



this was my contribution to the bead it exchange. i struggled with my fimo. when i was younger i was a fimo queen. i just couldn't get these exactly as i wanted, but i think they are cute. and they are very appropriate for their new owner (hint, i was her bead it buddy too).

one more thing...you can now link to me via the bloglines thingy. and maybe some of the other ones like bloglines that are out there. i think you just type in my url. let me know if you have any trouble.
