First Family (not the Bush's)

I saw my first family this week. It was supposed to happen two weeks ago, but I was assigned a new family and actually had a session with them. It went much smoother than I thought, and I'm not nearly as anxious any more!
I finished the front of Ginger, but I'm a little disappointed with the edges. They are supposed to be neat and strong since they will be the finished edges, but they look more like loose selvedges and I don't really know what to do about it. I've never finished with crochet (i know, i know, I am slow to try new things) so maybe that might help" Does anyone have any suggestions? I will post some pics tomorrow of the edges and the finished front as well as Branching Out so far.
Tomorrow I am supposed to be in our local newspaper modeling my Salt Peanuts sweater and a few other things I've knit for myself. I don't know which, if any, pictures will be in the paper, but I did have a little photo shoot. If I am in the paper, I guess that makes me a local celebrity, ha! I wonder if I get a special parking spot...

We went and saw War of the Worlds this evening which was okay. I was less thrilled than I thought I would be, but I think the whole Tom Cruise publicity lately kind of killed the movie before I sat foot in the theatre. He truly is manic. Poor guy, he probably really does need to be medicated, but I guess vitamins and exercise will have to do.

I changed the "look" of my blog for summer, I wanted something that looked less cookie cutter and more plain. I like the simplicity of this template. I'm hoping to work on getting something a little more original, but for now this will have to do.
I just had a huge margarita and I think I should probably stop writing because I'm bound to start sounding like I had one too many sips of the stupid juice. G'night!
