I’m in love with this fabric. It’s so bold and vibrant. It reminds me of Spain. I’m currently making a shirt. You can sort of the make out the pattern in the next photo:

It is that blue and white top in the center. I’m using the above fabric for the main body of the shirt and black for the details. I’m seriously considering buying more of this fabric and making a huge pillow out of it. I want it everywhere! I should be finished with it tomorrow. My goal was to it have to done by tonight but I just ran out of steam. Tomorrow is my birthday and I celebrated last night with friends, 90’s music, a lot of dancing and beer. Needless to say, I’m pretty exhausted. It was great seeing my friends though. I’m going to have go up to Boston at least once a month. If I don’t, I feel like I’ll just lose touch with everyone. I’m pretty bad at communication and maintaining relationships with people especially when they’re more than a 20 minute T ride away.

Back to the crafts. I have been doing what I always tell myself I won’t do: start another project without finishing the one that is currently in progress. I’m working on a shirt, vest, shawl, hat and a pair of socks. I also just finished my Deep V Argyle Vest. I’m in love with it. I’m going to make a post soon with the finished product along with progress photos and details. I took photos throughout the whole process because it was a lot of firsts for me. More on that in the future though. Ok, one photo.

Tomorrow, I’m headed back to Boston to celebrate family birthdays. I will not be driving so I will have 2-3 hours of prime knitting time. I’ll be in the Davis Sqare area which means I will spend at least a half hour in Magpie. One my favorite places to buy jewelry. Ten Thousand Villages has become my CT spot for jewelry since moving. Goodnight.
