Update

Not that anyone has actually read this in the last 45 minutes or so, but lest you think I spent an extended period of time tearing apart my apartment searching like a crazy person for my camera, rest assured. I found it. Not before going through my bedroom on my hands and knees, searching my car, my roommate's bedroom and a couple of the kitchen cupboards. Where did it finally turn up? Well, it's funny you should ask. It was here:



Yep, sitting right at the corner of my bed. However, in my defense, my comforter was completely covering it until my mania reached a new level and I started just tossing it around. Although I still had to leave the room and come back in to ACTUALLY find it. Long story short, I got it back.

And now, the picture show!

First, we have a new member of our apartment. Introducing Harvey/Marcus/Lewis/Jerome/Bob. Yea, so far we can't come up with a name that sticks. All we know for sure is that he's a boy. He's a very pretty shade of purple, which is a little hard to capture through the bowl. He lives in a margarita pitcher in the kitchen, I think he likes it here. And you know, it's only the coolest fish who live in margarita pitchers.


Next, I've been working on a pair of socks. I'm "virtually" through with Sarah's Toe Up Sock class (haha - see, because I'm taking it as a virtual class and I'm almost finished) The yarn is Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in Glenwood. I love love love the colors, I would knit everything in these colors if I could. And you know, if it wouldn't eventually get really boring. Grace is modeling them because they're gigantic and my feet just look ridiculous in them, but they're actually for my sister-in-law. You may be thinking, "Jessie, you crazy person, why don't you knit them for yourself if you love the color so much??" and my reply to you is this: I do love the colors, and I enjoy knitting socks, but I really don't like to wear knitted socks. I don't like to wear ANY socks. So there you go. I'll keep knitting socks but they will always be for other people.



And now my newest project. The Barclay Vest from Simply Shetland. My dad has been wanting a vest or a sweater for quite a few years. Pretty much since my mom started knitting when I was still in high school. However, my mom has very little to no interest in knitting sweaters. So here we are. I'm knitting it with Jo Sharp DK. It's very gorgeous and lovely to knit and so far it's going pretty fast. We'll see how I feel about it once I've finished the back and have moved on to the front. :)



Welp, that's it for now, catch ya later! And I'll be keeping EXTRA close tabs on my camera. Rest assured.
