Finally an FO!

Lordy, I've been knitting this thing since Memorial Day. Finally!

My friend Jen kindly modelled it for me, even though it's a little big for her. Still needs blocking. Love the Yarn Lounge button that Stewart helped me pick. Nice finishing touch.

Before the last four days of rain, I took some pics of the dogs in the dead grass in the dusty back yard. Look at Kiwi's figure...Cate, do you think she might be part whippet??

What a nice smile!!
Ginnie Lee decided to be camera shy.

Virginia Beach Conference

The last few days I've been in Virginia Beach for a work conference. I stayed at the Old Cavalier Hotel.
It was built about 80 years ago. They also call it the Cavalier on the Hill. Pretty, huh? There is also a New Cavalier Hotel, which is across the street. Not nearly as pretty, huh?
My old hotel room had many of the original amenities. Including hot and cold water coming out of seperate faucets. Reminded me of an old Fan apartment.
I'm not sure what all those knobs are in the bathroom. Also, this was a strange place for the TP roller...b/c it got wet when I took a shower.

The benefit of the New Cavalier is the view from the hotel....

I am not a beach bum, so I didn't spend any time out on the beach...but it looked nice.
I started out the month right by taking advantage of Get Your Knits on Rt. 64. I went to Ewe Knit Kits and Yarn with my tote bag and did some serious damage. The new yarn will be posted on Ravelry.

As you can see, Ewe Knits has lots of nice ladies.
And plenty of yarn.
