wow two posts this week! i just finished watching 3 back to back episodes of lost and it's so GOOD. i have only last week's to watch and i hear that it is a doozy. my roomie and i plan on watching it together this week.

today was a co-worker's birthday and we went out to lunch in my office. we also had a super pink ice cream cake later in the afternoon and it just feels so nice to work at a place where they like to make a bit of a deal on someone's birthday. it just feels friendlier, you know? at least i get to look forward to free cake next year. wooo.

i don't have any good progress pics to show you so i will show you some yarn i stole from my mom the last time i was at home. she has no time to knit anymore so i figured i would take it off of her hands for her. what a nice kid i am.

mom

the stuff on the left is grignasco arabesco, a sort of semi-felted boulce yarn. and the stuff on the right is really nice. it's filatura di crosa tweedy cashmere. and it actually is 30% cashmere - mmmmmm. if anyone has any ideas of what to make, let me know. progress continues on my vintage velvet scarf and cyd. i am just itching to start some new things but i have been good at controlling myself lately. need to finish stuff before starting new things. that will be my new mantra. i don't really like cotton all the much but i find myself dying to make a cotton-y summer sweater. anyone know of some nice, not so dry cotton?
