thanks for all the comments on that last post ~ i’m sending my brother the link today and i’m sure he’ll be pleased as punch. so far, so good: he’s home now and happy to be out of the hospital and scott is doing well too, though will be at john hopkins for a while yet.
and what’s this? knitting? yes indeed. i have twenty-two rows to go before binding off, but with each row taking a good twenty minutes (and i read that the bind-off is a bit of a bother), it’ll be a week or so until icarus is done. at least i’m at the fun part with the feathers and such – plus i’m thinking about adding the beads the designer mentioned. so, make that two weeks. ;) no rush, i’m enjoying it for now. 
and that in the corner, what’s that? my happy sourdough starter i got from a friend’s boyfriend a while back. i’m planning on making some homemade sourdough bread tomorrow. can’t wait.
other than that, i’m keeping on keeping on, you know? hope you are too. i almost always have good intentions about posting more often, but there’s so much coming up this week and so much happened this past week that i absolutely must post more and soon.
I am so thankful your brother is doing well and hope Scott will be home soon as well.
yummmmmmmmmmmmmm…..... Fresh bread sounds absolutely lovely. Hope it turns out well and it doesn’t rain to spoil the sourdough baking.
Glad to hear your brother is doing well :).
Icarus is such a pretty pattern! Can’t wait to see how yours turns out!

Nothing makes a house smell cozier than bread a-baking. Even if it doesn’t turn out! Ha.

Hey chickadee! Your icarus looks lovely. This weekend is all Moxie, but I’m hoping to organize a girly ML trip soon. Let me know what your schedule is like with the dye class etc. By the way, I am so jealous! There was a recent Cast On on dyeing and I was drooling! xox, J
