In which I oversleep.
It’s autumn, which means it’s getting cooler and I’ve been a little bit congested and sleepy for the past week. I always get this way when the season changes.
Last night, I made vichyssoise over at KJ’s house, and we each had big bowls of it with some crusty slices of a lovely French boule with butter while watching an episode of season 2 of Doctor Who. I served the soup hot, actually, which means it wasn’t technically vichyssoise but simply potato leek soup, but the point is that it was packed with dairy fat.
I *heart* dairy fat. Oh em gee.
Then I went home and slept until 10:46 this morning. I’m supposed to be at work at eleven. Oops.
In other (knitting) news, I’ve started the second (and final!) sleeve of my Big Brown Sweater and should be wearing it soon! (It’s only been on my needles for twenty-two months.) The yarn is freakin’ amazing and I imagine I’ll absolutely live in the thing all winter.
I’ve also found a home for my old Denise circular needle set, the one that Teh BF’s killer b-day present superseded, the one that NLW gave me when she upgraded to the Knit Picks set herself: I’m going to ship them to Vuboq because he doesn’t have a set of interchangeable circular needles! This makes me terribly happy because I’m glad to see them going to a good home; I got a lot of use out of them while they were mine!

I would love to just feel that “super fine alpaca bitches”. I’ve never met alpaca wool before. I do, however, have some super scratchy merino wool if ya wanna trade feels.
Can’t wait to see the whole sweater, at any rate.
Frankly, I can’t wait to see the whole sweater too! -m
vich-eez-soys?
Cold soup might rock the summer casbah, but warm seems more appropriate for these shivery fall evenings. And, in line with the whole fall thing, sounds like perfect timing for the long-awaited and eagerly-anticipated completion of the Big Brown Sweater. This is an exciting time to be alive… to witness the final stitch… er… knit… er whatever you call that final clicky-clacky of your nifty needles.
Stitch! Oh I am soooo close to total sweater domination! -m
Total Sweater Domination would be a great band name.
