Random Weekend
Just some random high- and low- lights from the weekend so far:
- The Zebra Striper dress is blocked I'm working on the finishing. A four hour nap today let me finish both the duplicate stitch details and most of the neck line edging. I am getting really excited about finishing this project.
- I have more skein of the yarn that I need for Rogue than I thought I did. Fears about not having enough yarn are allayed for the moment.
- New iPhone firmware update definitely a good thing.
- Heavy rain all day long kept us from heading out to the Renegade Craft Fair. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
- Ms. Baby has learned to go downstairs by walking forward and hanging onto the railing. No place in the house is safe, now.
- All the recent days rain has resulted into seepage into our basement guest bedroom. Nasty mildew under some bookcases. Looks like we will be doing some unplanned remodeling. Sigh. I wanted tile in that room, but really didn't want to start that project now. Anyone know a good, reliable mason in Chicago?
- John's big home media computer upgrade hasn't gone quite as planned. Our Sage server (a DVR that supports the whole house) is unavailable. No Alton Brown or Mythbusters to knit to.

What's up with Chicago knitbloggers and water in their houses? Yikes. Good luck with that.

Hi! Just wanted to pair the comment with the face-I did run into you at the fair and introduced myself-and my dogs to you, John, and Z. Hope you enjoyed your outing.
It's not looking better for the craft fair today. I really wanted to walk it this year. I managed some of it last year, trying to induce labor :) Didn't work.
