Loverly Flowers

Yes, I know Valentine's Day is a greeting card and candy maker's holiday. But I will never ever complain about getting flowers. Even if they come from the local grocery store, they still brighten up my desk and my day. And they still smell wonderful.

John is now finished with his 7th annual woman holiday extravaganza. Christmas, my birthday and Valentine's day all being close together, he has to be extra creative to make it all work. Now he's out of the woods, and he can mark off another successful completion.

Aside from a fabulous dinner at North Pond, it was a laid back and lazy weekend Chez Keyboard Biologist. Much knitting and needlepointing and web-grazing was accomplished. I'm now a little bit closer to completing Banff:

One Humongous Sleeve Down...

This picture was taken in the last fading rays of sunshine and is probably the most accurate picture of the color of this yarn. The picture doesn't quite demonstrate how large this sleeve really is.

So now I'm only one sleeve, some seaming and a neck away from Banff. All I need to do is overcome my second sleeve ennui and maybe I can have a nifty new sweater to wear this weekend...

so I'm not the only one thought those sleeves came out ENORMOUS. 'course one sleeve is all I have done so far... it works pretty quickly though once you get going, eh?

I really like your site. I've also enjoyed making the Noro Silk Garden sweater by Debbie Bliss. Good luck with your MSc. It sounds really interesting. Your cats are gorgeous and, yes, I think you're children will indeed look very Slavonic. I thought you looked Eastern European even before reading your bio.

Banff is looking good! The colours look very quite magenta like.
