Bears and Buttons and Big Foot

Wonderful Guy and I took an outing to the RV Show in Denver yesterday.  I had not been to one, and it had been a while for him.

Like maybe 48 years or so.  One can certainly travel in comfort these days.

More importantly, however, the show was held in convention center in Denver, where this guy is on the outside looking in.



We have our own miniature that the Guy found in his stocking a few years back.  I just love walking through the office and seeing him peering at me from inside the shelves.



Buttons buttons, I need the buttons for these...



and these...



or rather those that will be knitted out of these...and I am so glad that DSis is a generous sister...



And in case there was any wonder about what the shawl looks like in real life...









Now I am off.  I have a package to prepare to send (surprise to some one!), 2 meetings to attend today, a snack to prepare for one (which I have the vaguest clue about what it is going to be), and I need to decide about whether to frog a sock.

It's a shade tight around the ankle. Sort of a test sock and really? I think a test sock means working it out, testing it out 'til it's right. And right now it's not right.

I think I just convinced myself.  So there's also going to be frogging and re-casting on today, it seems.  I have added to my goals, by the way.  Short row heels and toes in sock making.  (I know you all wanted to know that.)

  4. Gorgeous shawl! Really. And I agree, if the socks don't fit you need to fix them.
