The echo-doppler machine in my cardiologist’s office – a routine checkup I get once a year or so.
Watching the ice dancing competition and waiting for Stephanie’s
competition. (in Wyandotte, Michigan.) She passed her Bronze moves in the field test this morning, so she’s really excited. She’s been working hard on the test requirements for the last several months, so this is quite a validation of her work. I’m really proud of her.
Headed to Michigan to visit our friends Dan and Melissa and to go to
Stephanie’s skating competition in Wyandotte, MI. Left the pooch home with our petsitter for this trip; too far for the little dude. Stephanie is also testing for her bronze moves in the field.
I’m absolutely in love with this one – a scarf I’m making for Stephanie in two different varigated yarns, alternating rows, in a rib pattern that I got from Stephanie Pearl-McPhee’s site. I finally got settled down with all the indecision about what new project I was going to try, and all the thought I put into it has paid off. This is going to be one of my favorite new projects, and I can see how polished it will be already.
In the lobby of my doctor’s office at the One America tower downtown. “Don’t look now, but there’s a giant flag behind you.” (I think I’d find that intimidating if I worked in the building every day.)
I dithered back and forth about what new yarn to use and what new stitch pattern to try, until I drove myself nuts. Stephanie’s not feeling well, and I don’t feel great either, so I opted for comfort, and grabbed scrap yarn and the Roku remote. I’ve been watching Season 2 of MI:5 and knitting away on a easy project rather than stressing about creating some fantastic new thing.
We seem to be on a Mediterranean theme this weekend. We visited the Egyptian Cafe for our friend Carla’s birthday celebration.
