Guess what I've been doing!

Apparently our CA apartment is hotter inside than out. Kitty and I have been trying to melt into puddles on the floor.

At least I'm a slightly less furry puddle. I have been knitting while I'm splayed out, and Mermaid's coming along swimmingly (rim shot).

I haven't been able to resist swatching a little for my Eunny-top. I think it'll come out better in wool than in the cotton she used, but that's just a guess and my preference for a certain kind of fabric for clingy tops.


When I manage to pry myself up off the floor, I've been shopping for a work wardrobe. (I now own mascara for the first time in my life. In related news, I have poked myself in the eye more than ever before in my life.) I was amused to see that Anthropologie has jumped on the twisted-stitch-ribbing bandwagon as well. I'll be glad to buy the dress when they change their politics.

On a work-knitting note, is patterned Shetland considered sufficiently appropriate for business-wear? I think the cardi-version is a better shot, and extremely cute. (Sweaters from Elizabeth Zimmerman's The Opinionated Knitter.) I somehow doubt it, but I may end up knitting one anyway, as Shetland is my new woolly friend.
