Sleevage!
Finally some knitting pictures :)
I am using flickr now so we'll see if this works out okay, I think I can only post one picture at a time, but even still it's worth a try. This is the first sleeve of the Leo sweater which has knit up very quickly. I have the back and front done and hope to finish this sleeve by the end of the week. If Harry Potter doesn't get in the way! Flickr is neat, but this one picture at a time thing is a little lame if you ask me.
Allright, I have a few more pictures, so I'm just going to do these the old fashioned way! Here is a shot of the one thing standing between me and the end of the first sleeve:
well, and maybe this guy...
She doesn't much seem to care!
And last weekend we had the funniest thing happen to us. Jered went in to get new tires and ended up having to get new brakes and rotors (this isn't the funny part!) and so they sent him home with a gargantuan Ford truck. The thing was absolutely massive. We only drove it twice all weekend because we knew 1) we couldn't afford the gas, and 2) We were afraid we might kill someone or run over someone else's car. This truck was insane. I can see why you would need one if, say, you were trying to transport stuff for a construction business or on a farm, but otherwise, why kill the environment?! The thing was just too big. We thought it was funny because never in our right minds would we ever consider anything with such awful gas mileage, and there we were in a big red truck. The surreal life indeed!
I hope I haven't offended any truck drivers out there, I'm just sayin'...it's big. I had to jump to get in!
This week we're back to our fuel efficient VW and Ford Focus. I think the next car we will buy will be a hybrid. With gas prices as outrageous as they are (although compared to most countries we really can't complain) it just makes sense to go for the most efficient machine. Okay, stepping off soap box.
Au revoir.
