Tuesday, May 20, 2003 ( 8:56 AM ) Jessica I've got about 16 or 24 rows left on the back of Sanquar and then I can work on the left front & then the finishing stage. I'll try the 3 needle bind-off for the shoulders and then will put the edging on the sleeves & the main body of the vest. If it were done today, the weather would actually be cool enough to wear it (we'll be lucky if it gets to the 70s today) but I'll wait for the fall. I have some cotton yarn in my stash, in a natural color called "Monte Crisco" and think it might make a nice short sleeved top or tank top. I think it's about sport weight (haven't swatched it yet)... once I do, I'll need to come up with some kind of pattern for it. I'm not sure what size to make it, probably large or extra large, but want it to fit comfortably, not too loose or tight, but "just right"... baby bear just right. I was hoping to put some plants into the garden today but it's kind of too chilly & since we've been in the upper 80s/low 90s already, that might be too much of a shock for the plants. It's a bit late to start planting, but we'll have enough hot weather to get a good crop of tomatoes & such if other "things" don't get the plants first. Tomorrow is the day they give out awards at school & I think the twins will get all possible awards this year. They both did really well, 90 or more in everything except for a few homework papers that Micah turned in late & got 50 points on (he scored 100 on those homework papers, but lost half the points because the papers were late), but he's been doing extra credit work so MAY have pulled his average up. We'll see! I have several looms to pre-warp for customers so that the looms can be shipped. I should get that done today. I'd have done some last night, but we were having storms & I couldn't check what colors for which looms. I've been looking at the pattern for "Magic Carpet" in the book Children's Collection by Alice Starmore & I think it will be easy enough to convert the pattern to vests. Harrison wants his with a purple background, Micah green & Evan brown (since I don't have red, though I MIGHT see about getting some red for him).. I need to cut this short, it looks like we're getting some new weather. #
