Butterfly Home Stretch
I'd like to say thank you to everyone who left me comments or sent me email about yesterday's post. I am very touched by your kind words about my writing and my sentiments. It has also encouraged me to think about branching out beyond knitting more often.
But, as promised, today I return to knitting. Over the weekend, while the husband was getting our new toy (an X-box*) installed and playing nicely with our home theatre, I worked on Clapotis and Butterfly's second sleeve.
I'm now perilously close to a sweater. I'll be letting these block overnight and getting started on the assembly process while watching the election returns come in. Here's to hoping that Butterfly is my lucky sweater.
*you may wonder why two people with 6 computers between them need another gaming system. I can't completely explain why -- maybe because there are more console games that actually allow two people to play at the same time. But I surprised myself by actually sort of liking the fighting game that we rented. Although I must say, that I am sill not sure that my mind can fully wrap around Aerosmith's "Dream On" as the music behind the introductory anime video that set's the scene for Dead or Alive Ultimate
My boy has an x-box and an ps2. I too found it surprising how much fun it can be!
Theresa,
I just read your post from yesterday. Very well done. I agree with what you are saying, and I vote! Take care, and let's hope that we can change the current leadership today.
Beautiful Butterfly 'wings' !
Yesterday's post was,indeed,well written and inspirational.Here's hoping that tomorrow brings a better day and future.
Gosh I hope Butterfly brings good luck.
You're a gear-head just like me. We have two computers and an old Nintendo, but are resisting the urge to get a gaming system because they aren't great for kids (too much temptation).
I find myself drawn to hand-to-hand combat games despite myself. There's something about being a kick-boxing fighting chick that I totally love.
And there's nothing more fun than kicking my husband's butt in a racing game!
You're getting ready for Halo 2? With that and Half-Life 2, I expect to be doing a lot of knitting while my bf plays. The sleeves look great. I like how the chevron parts are completely different from one another.
Your Butterfly is beautiful. I decided to make Butterfly after reading your post back when you received your yarn and I loved your color choice so much that I picked the same. I am half way through the back of mine and love it more with each inch. I can't wait to see your finished product.
Ohhhh! can't wait to see Butterfly done. Beautiful!
