however the weather was lovely this weekend. you can definitely tell that spring is coming on fast. i went on a little picnic with my friends in griffith park on saturday. we almost went on the merry go round but thought we'd be kind to the little kids and stayed away. here are my friends posing for me. yeah they hate that i take out the camera everywhere i go, but hey, it was a beatiful day and i had to document.
and what did i get in the mail on saturday but the best raok ever!
by now i guess all know of my obsession with the pug and lynn sent me this great book. now i can look at pugs all day long. go over to lynn's yarn page and order some yarn from her. she custom dyes bartlett yarns in absolutely incredible colorways. and you can get them custom colored, too! i am just waiting for some money (and stash busting) before i order mine. thanks, lynn!
and i have been knitting on cyd a bit. i seem to be doing ok with the intarsia bits, even if the yarn is getting very tangly. i have no idea how people to pieces with lots of colors without becoming one big yarn mess but i admire them. i untangle every few rows and that seems to keep them in order. here's a look at the front:
and the back:
ooh and go get the new garbage album today. i saw them play last night at the wiltern and they are still awesome! oh shirley manson, how i love thee. i just realized i have not updated the sidebars in a long time. maybe i will do that now. hope you're all happy and healthy!
