Pop
Today at work my boss and I had chocolate pop rocks. It was hilarious, we were laughing the whole time we were eating them. I picked them up this weekend at The Goddess and Grocer.
I also shipped off these adorable booties and hat to my future nephew-in-law. The shower is this weekend and I may have gone slightly insane at Babies-r-Us last week. Babies may be stinky and noisy, but shopping for them is so fun!
Details on Ravelry. Please excuse the color in that second pic, it really is the same yarn. You may recognize the yarn from such 70's classics as Dobby's Rockin' sweater and more! I have a lot more leftovers that may become booties and hats before that kid pops out in October.

Mmmm, wool in July
Hey gang! Where has the summer gone? I'm already thinking about which wool sweaters to knit for Chicago Winter '08/'09!
But we did have a great 4th of July. We went camping at Devil's Lake in Wisconsin. I didn't think I'd ever set foot in the state of Wisconsin, but then I remembered on a trip to Duluth we crossed some bridge into Superior, WI. Anyway, it was a gorgeous place and the weather was perfect.
And I had coffee and yarn, which means there was definitely no reason to complain. I even got to visit an adorable yarn shop in the town of Baraboo called Ms. Vicky's.
I took with me a knitting project that would require no pattern or chart, could be done by feel or by campfire light and could be washed after it came home smelling like smoke and Deep Woods Off. I chose Maryse's Gathered Scarf (Ravelry link!) using some handspun handdyed wool I received as a gift years ago.
I'm almost done and then it will go in the holiday gift pile. DUDE, I know. Let's not even think about the fact that there are already gifts in that pile. So, I have another small FO to show you soon.
What did you do for your long weekend?
