"we are going on a summer holiday..."

I didn't take out the camera much on the weekend so this is the only evidence of me having a wonderful time at the beach with my sister and friend.

Today we leave for Ontari-ari-o!! We are going to a friend's wedding (where A will be debuting his new suit!! HOT!!) and then visiting with friends and family. It is always a little nerve-racking to leave town/home when you are a freelancer; "is that 'big job' going to come in while I'm away?!?!" I almost always have to turn something down right before I go away so that I always leave feeling slightly deflated. This time it was for a new magazine I would have really like to work with... sigh...

I would like to confirm that The Rolosketches didn't die after 3 days. I just haven't had time to scan them. I will do a bunch when I get home.

As promised, here is the link to Sheron Goldin's "2 socks on 2 needles" tutorial: http://www.socknitters.com/2circs/index.htm. This is the technique I used to make my legwarmers and the sleeves of the shrug I am currently working on.

Lastly, for the knitters that heard my hair horror story last night:

The crazy case of "hat"head" actually IMPROVED the look of the haricut! ...but you can still see that the bangs were completely jagged (unintentionally) and there is waaaay more hair on the left side than the right (that's NOT just from the hat!!). When it wasn't smushed flat by a hat, it looked like a helmet. It was really horrible... so now I have short hair.
