elizabeyta in crochet, life, sleep

Our weather has been interesting and my flowers are bedraggled.  My vegetables and zinnias are doing very well.  But the mosquitoes are out in droves.  I am going to have to start drinking some tonic water every day again to help with welts.  I find when I drink tonic water the welts are just not as big.  It is the quinine.

I was very quiet this weekend.  The sweater I am working on grabbed me.  I really want it done for my gallivanting so I decided to work on it.  I watched Eureka and crocheted.  I find it is easier to work on the more intricate bits when it is something I have already seen before and can just follow the dialogue. 

I am liking how this sweater is coming together and really cannot wait until I can try it on.  I am thinking about taking apart the sweater I made myself from Sunshine's fleece and making something more similar to this.  A sweater that just fits a bit better and is not quite so asymmetrical.  I did do it on purpose but I do not appreciate it as much in practice as I thought I did.  I like more the classical cardigan shape even if it is a bit big on me.

I got teased by a friend at work on Friday that yes, I get rid of clothes.  But I make them into something different and not give them away.  Or remake them so many times that they are no longer clothes.  I am thinking about that one for Sunshine.

I have a feeling it is a fiber week.  More on that later.  But, I am finishing some tea, trying to put my crochet hook down, and trying sleep.  Notice all the tryings?
