03/22/2006: "hooray"

today is mental health day. i periodically take a day off and go do fun stuff. last time it was the red balloon bookstore and bread & chocolate. today.... i'm not sure yet. i am going in to work at 3, so i have to pay a little attention to time, but the day is mine. all of my regular blog readers have probably abandoned me by this time, since my posts have been so few and far between, but i am hoping that everything that was conspiring to keep me away is now done. i have been working on a few projects in the interim. i am learning to knit my first lace pattern. i ripped out the first 6 inches 9 times, but i have about 12 inches done now and it is looking not bad. it helps that i am using a beautiful yarn which is variegated turquoise and cornflower blue and pinky lavendar, which makes bands of color about 3 inches wide. the yarn is a blend of wool and soy silk, which is lovely to work with. then i have been making cuffs...
