This morning, I went to hang out with my friend Bonny. I wore my sweater, and took my camera with me, in the hopes that someone would take pity on me, and take a photo of me in my sweater.
And my patience was rewarded! Bonny herself took the photo for me, and without further ado, here it is!
I asked her not to get my face, just the sweater. You can see the thumb holes in the sleeves. Now I want to make a matching hat.
Oooh, I just had a thought. The other day, I bought the makings of my special brownies. Maybe I'll make those today.....

The Un-Crafting Report
At the present time, I am not working on anything. That's right, not one thing. The secret project I started, I ended up frogging because something wasn't right. I was in the decreasing, but had waaay too many stitches left for the K3, K2tog round. I would like to start over, but I think I should use a smaller size needle, and then it would need to be shorter than 16". I don't have any circular needles less than 16". Perhaps you can see my dilema.
When I go babysitting, I am taking my nook, so I can read while Malia naps. I am currently taking a break from Game of Thrones III (I don't remember the exact name of the book), and have started reading the Ann Rice werewolf novel. So far, it's good. I do miss crocheting and knitting. I have even looked through the newer patterns I have gotten from Ravelry, which I put on one of those stick drive things. There is another colorwork blanket which I might be interested in trying. At least, when I get some money ahead to buy the yarn.
All I can do is hope that soon I can get together with my knitting expert friend so she can interpret what the great EZ means in the directions of the baby surprise jacket. I can't even call it a pattern, it's really directions.
On a totally different note, I finally baked my famous walnut peanut butter chip brownies last night. I finally felt like baking! I used the metal pan, when I should have used the glass one. They are a little overdone on the edges. Next time, I will remember to use the glass pan. That's how long it's been, that I forgot which pan makes them come out the best!

Awesome Brownies and Blanket Progress
I believe I have redeemed myself in the brownie department. I made some new ones last night, and added lots of nuts and peanut butter chips, as promised. They are so delicious! I have even taken a photo of one to show you!
And this is a corner piece! They are usually dry, and crusty at the edge. This one is so supremely moist, it makes me want to weep. Just kidding. But they really did turn out better than I had dared to hope.
Now on to the progress on the blanket. I took these photos last night, and like I mentioned earlier, it really is coming along. I am very excited about it.
It didn't look this fuzzy when I saw it on the camera... Oh, well, you get the general idea. I like the basket weave look. I never said I was a good photographer...
Here is the photo of the corner I was talking about the other day. I hope you all understood what I meant about doing the border... Either way, it is shown here. We had Stitch n Bitch this morning, and it was just Kim and myself. We had a good time, as usual. Good friends, great coffee, and good food. Does it get any better than that?
