More knitting and construction news.

In knitting news:

The swift arrived from Joann.com. We got the big one. It's even bigger than we imagined. Still, it is awesome and so purdy.

The Embossed Leaves were mailed out to my Sockapalooza 4 pal.

Pattern: Embossed Leaves by Mona Schmidt

Yarn: Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock

Color: Carol Green

Needles: Crystal Palace US2 dpn

Started: 06-03-2007

Finished: 08-01-2007

Changes: I used an Eye of Partridge heel instead of the pattern heel. Originally, I added a pattern repeat to the foot but that turned out to be a fubar -- the sock was waaay to long (12"!!!) -- so I ripped it back to 7 1/2 pattern repeats which turned out perfect. I missed the line of instructions that called for a M1 at the end of needle 4 (after the heel) on the first sock so I made the second sock to match. I added two instep stitches for a little ease on a bigger foot.

Misc: Tony moved his aquarium into the house. Fishes!


In construction news: We inventoried the parts to the Shed and laid them out according to the instructions.

Then we built the floor frame.

We also built a couple of saw horses and a temporary shelter (tarp and rope and a few poles) to keep the sun off us while we work.

That's all for now,
