Progress shot

Nearly done the short rows.

Haven't knit as much this week. I've been reading.

Today, I feel like sleeping. And crying. My mom's sister died yesterday. This is when it's hardest living so far away from family. No idea when the arrangements will be made.

I think I like it

Did not like the Regia shown in the earlier post. Swapped in some KPPPM. I think I like it.

Another one?

brush with celebrity

A production company and casting agency share the fourth floor of my office building. One day I bumped into Peter Scolari on the elevator. Today was way cooler.

On my way down this evening, the elevator stopped on the 4th floor and Jeanine Garafalo got on. She said "hi."

Who says hi on a NYC elevator? Jeanine Garafalo, apparently.

I played it cool, but the rest of the way down I wanted to burst. I think she's so cool and funny.

On the way out of the building, I noticed the pocket on her back pack was open and let her know.

She said thanks.

I very rarely recognize celebrities. I'm glad I recognized her!

Too much zebra?

Can you have too much zebra print?

My husband says I look like I should be in a Bon Jovi video from the 80s!

Affection update

I'm almost to the last repeat of the three-stripe section. Man these rows are long!

Sunday Sewing

I've wanted to make this bag for over a year. I ordered the laminated cotton last January!

I saw woman on the train platform with a zebra tote and decided I wanted one. But mine needed to have red straps. I went with the laminated cotton for some weather Protection.

I went back and forth on the lining, but finally cut into my Michael Miller word search yardage. I'm very happy with it, except it's kind of floppy. Next time I'll interface or add an inner layer of some flannel.

Started short rows

Exciting. A new color of stripes.

Shouldn't have tied to start short rows at basketball. Just kept going and had to rip out nearly a whole row!
