FO: Baktus

Baktus no. 2 is done. I am so tempted to cast on this again. This project is so flexible that  you cannot wrong with it. Choose whatever yarn, knit with a glass of wine close by and you would be the proud owner of a Baktus in a snap. You can even practice your German, Portuguese, Dutch, Italian or Spanish as the pattern has been translated in all these languages. Isn't that nice?

My mother kindly accepted to model the Baktus for me. 

Changing topics, we have been up and down - literally. Yesterday morning I played a tennis match at Cumming. That is an hour north of Atlanta. Sadly, my partner and I lost in the second round of the playoffs. It takes "skeins" to admit that the opponents were better players and deserved the win. Later at night, the Mr. and I headed to a birthday bash in Peachtree City. That is an hour south of Atlanta. A fun crowd, karaoke and some rum helped me recover and prepare for the week ahead.

What have you been doing to re charge batteries?

Garter stitches extravaganza

Lately, garter stitches have been more than pleasant to me. I can understand why others think is the most boring thing ever. Is true you will not do the Tom Cruise's couch jumping act with this project. This is a no brainier  do your stuff until you fall asleep kind of project. And for the record, I can think of a million things even more boring that garter (nothing personal against my dentist).

This past week my husband was out of town. My toddler slept well. I  had too many nights staying up until wee hours, five days forgetting to set the wake up alarm (that is HIS task) and, an entire chocolate cake. I will need some more chocolate to recover.

Hope that next week you (and I) remember to set the alarm and have plenty of opportunities to play with nice yarn. Happy knitting!
