sorry- i don't have any better pictures with me of my dad. this is a picture i took of an old picture. don't my parents looks so hip and 70's? i think it's hilarious. but i just wanted to say happy father's day to my dad. he doesn't read the blog but i wanted to put it out there that he is a great dad. he came to this country with nothing but a pair of boots, a hammock, and a canteen and managed to raise 2 somewhat normal kids and is still around to tell the tale. he's been through a lot in the past few months but he's still alive and kicking. love you, dad! and happy father's day to all the other great dads out there, too.
it's really a gorgeous day out today. i can spell someone outside bbq'ing and the sun is shining. i am a bit lazy to go out, however, and am still laying about the house. i don't really have anywhere to go today and i don't want to spend any money, so i figured i would just stay in and knit. it's starting to bug me that i have all of these unfinished projects lying around. i want to finish them so that i can start something new. so last night i seamed up the rebecca chevron tank. it actually didn't go too bad and i think it looks alright.
i tried putting it on last night (sans straps) and it's a bit snug and short but i might be able to block it a bit larger. it sucks that i ran out of yarn for the straps. it's gonna be unfinished until i can find something to make the straps out of or some artyarns fable falls out of the sky. you never know.
i've been working on this bikini from stitch n bitch since last june. i started it for a friend of mine (who has since moved to new york) when i first started knitting. she bought the yarn and i said i would make this bikini for her. it was stalled for awhile because i kept messing up the bottom piece. this time, it looks better, but the intarsia isn't great. it's really hard to keep your tension in the classic elite star. i am so sick of this though that i think i am just going to plough ahead and see how it goes. truthfully i don't even know if it is going to fit her. it look awfully small. let's hope the lycra in the yarn works.
**i just got home from an awesome rilo kiley concert. more on that tomorrow. good night!
