THE BRAIN

Alright. It's finished save for the stuff I'm going to do to it for the fair, but you all deserve pictures.

Pictures of what?

Pins and Knitting Needles

I know I haven't written in awhile, but I have a very good excuse!

I have been knitting!

The "brain hat" (that has no better name at the moment) is coming along rather smoothly. It's basically just a stockinette-based hat with three rows of ribbing on the edge with a crazy amount of i-cord tacked to the top. I only have one 30-inch length of i-cord left, but when that is done, I'll have done 45 feet and 4 inches of the stuff. I'll be so glad when the all the i-cord is done. My left ring finger has been numb for about three days now. I'm lucky that today isn't so bad.

In other news, Husband is off at a conference to talk about bones and lazers, leaving me in the house with the dog. What does this mean? This means that I shall knit i-cord tonight and watch Blackadder. And miss him. Our first anniversary is next weekend (or rather, the first installment of our first anniversary). His present is currently in the hands of the talented framing folks at Michael's. I hope Bruce McCall isn't upset that I scanned covers of The New Yorker in order to peice together a "print" of his "Ascent of Man." Never seen it? Check this out, then:



The only photo I have of the "brain hat" is of it at about.... 25% or so. It's much further along now, so I'll just delay photographic evidence until it is finished. (30" left OMG!)
