saturday!
hi there ~ here’s some of what i’ve been busy with this past week though there’s also been a horrible eye infection that kept me huddled on my bed for two days waiting for the pain to end with tears constantly dropping down my cheek (i kid you not. it was baaaad.), many hours on the phone with, and standing outside my apartment waiting for, dhl to deliver a package, plus other fun stuff that depressed me to no end (will the patterns ever stop! i just want new problems) and then other stuff that made me smile and laugh as soon as i opened my eyes this morning. it’s been one of those weeks, chock full.
here, one led to another within ten hours.


and it’s cold enough in the morning to wear this! proper pics and info soon, soon, though please note the double zipper i’m so proud of.

last but not least, some links to while away your weekend.
~ idea, the international dialects of english archive
~ spiders on drugs and the resulting webs. i’m against animal testing in labs, but it is pretty interesting. here’s a similar experiment using a human, some acid, and an ‘activity box’.
~ an amusing list of insults [via kottke]
~ pretty darn cute bitty booties make me want to sew. the pattern is free, too.
~ just discovered book mooch via library thing. dangerous stuff there.
listening to black sabbath at all volume, getting ready to go to the library, happy andrea! have a fabulous october weekend ~

You poor thing. At least you are better now. BTW, that cardigan is beautiful and it looks really good on you. Mornings have been cold at my house as well. We’ve had to turn on the heating for an hour in the morning.
Good thing your apartment is falling apart only now, when you are about to leave. Do you have a date yet? We need to have a going away party!

#@##^%$%*&^!! I just left a comment and thought I was done after preview.
The urban aran looks great (I need one!) and the embroidery is sublime – please bring it to the spin-in. And feel free to bring Francesca to the spin-in as well – I’d like to meet her!
Time is slipping away – we need to hang out more before you go!

ouch, sorry it’s such a stinky roller coaster ride. :( eye infection and water damage—scary stuff! hang in there and take care. hope you got your power cord and the laptop is all better.
the crewel embroidery is beautiful, like dancing trees in an enchanted forest. and urban aran looks great; way to conquer zippers! can’t wait to see more photos.

I’m glad you’re feeling better. Nothing sucks more than being sickly! Love the Urban Aran, and I think your zipper install was nicely done! And the links were great too.

Ugh. The ceiling thing happened to us when we were renting. Not fun at all.
Love the double zipper action! ;)

oh no! I hope things are better for you now…
The cardi is gorgeous! And the embroidery is too! is that punch needle embroidery? It just reminds me that I need to get back into it.

I love the spider link.
I hope things get better and when I arrive in LA, we can all unwind while spinning up a storm.
I hear you on the eye thing, I’ve had a similar experience, tears galore and absolutely sympathize.

Oh, I’m so sorry to hear about your eye infection! Wanh.
Your crewel is looking GREAT, though! Very nice! And I love your cardigan so much- I may have to make one, it looks like the perfect sweater!

I am so sorry to hear about the eye problems – that is very bad. I really hope things are on the mend now.
I can’t wait to hear some details on the Urban Aran – it looks gorgeous on you!
Julia’s comment above reminded me… you will be over here in my neck of the woods, right? I really want to meet you!

It’s not that you are leaving your appartment — more like — it is leaving you — or as Condorito would say “escapando a pedazos”. Can’t wait to see you!! Love, Papi
