Jeans and Sneakers

Man I really have to start taking pictures when it’s brighter outside, because taking pictures in my house just sucks.

Here’s the body of Sonnet.  Sorry for the poor lighting.  It’s pretty, but totally uneven.  I guess the impending deadline of Mother’s day bugged me out, because the tension of the latter part is tighter than the tension of the former part, and so it’s uneven when you button it up.

You can’t tell if you yank on the side that comes up shorter.  :/  I feel like a bad knitter and a bad son’s girlfriend for not fixing this, but I really have no more time.  And I’ve got another problem.

This is sleeve #1.  I worked on it all yesterday evening, and I’m only this far.  I’m seriously starting to worry.  I’ve got 9 more sets of increases before I start the shoulder shaping.  I did 3 sets watching Jesus Christ Superstar last night.  I knitted through the entire length of the movie.  I have no idea why this is taking so long.  The only explanation is that I’ve found yet another knitting vortex.  I’d be looking forward to finishing this sleeve, but instead, I dread, because I know I just have to knit another one before this sweater is done.  *sigh*

And because I love pictures, and my bicycle, here’s a picture I took as a “before” picture of some rust on my bicycle, but it really shows off the gorgeous paint color.

It’s all scratched up and stuff, but I’ll be repainting it.

Ok.  Off to jump into the vortex.

Oh, P.S. — I cooked dinner tonight, beef with egg noodles again, but I think tonight it came out the best I ever made it.  :]  And I’ll be making alfredo sauce again soon. . .mmmmm. . .my kitchen is clean!  The roomate picked up his car today and I want to say he’s totally out, but I believe he’s still got some crap in the basement.  But then that’s it!!
