It's Friday and I'm Hungry
hi, I'm Bella. Feed me some people food.
Hello! This week has been crazy and it's almost over, yahoo. One good thing that has come out of the towing of my car (grr) is that I have to park several blocks away from my office and walk. Now, this is a real pain in the ass when I have an early meeting or a bunch of stuff to bring in from my car. Luckily, this week, I've just had me to bring in. So I've been walking every day, and I feel more awake. So I'm thinking that if I get a parking pass soon, I'll still park far away so I can walk...unless I have a meeting... or sleep late...
I finished my Bottoms Up Bucket in one night...that pattern is so awesome! It's super easy to follow, knits up quickly, and looks darn cute. I haven't posted a picture yet because I'm trying to be super cute in my picture for Becky's knitalong contest....I'm exploiting the talents of my photographer boyfriend to come up with something fabulous!
I also started working last night on a new summery top. After flipping through all the great patterns I've gotten lately, and looking at my tiny little stash, I swatched up some Bernat Denim Style and started this tank. It's knitting quickly on size 7 needles. I don't know how I feel about the dark brown lace up thingy in the middle, but I'll figure that out when I get there. This little tank is part of a tank-along I'm doing with my online knitting group....I'm seriously going to run out of yarn soon if I keep knitting so much. But soon it will be so hot here in Athens that I'll need a plethora of tanks and summer cardigans. I can't wait for summer! Bring it. Now.
Jacob and I have been renting DVDs a lot lately...mostly of Mr. Show and The Ben Stiller Show. Mr. Show is one of the funniest comedy shows I've ever seen...it's definitely not family humor, but it's damn funny. If you've never seen Mr. Show and you aren't easily offended, go out and rent some of the DVDs.
Well, that's all the news here. Sorry if you came to my site earlier and got a bunch of jumbled code at the top of the screen...I'm still working out some kinks in the PHP for my skins. I will be an expert code monkey soon...I hope...
Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for all the nice comments on my finished knits. You guys make my yucky days a lot easier.

We are Mr. Show people as well. My husband shanghais visitors to our place and makes them watch the "Jeepers Creepers" episode.

I've seen some colored leather ties, as well as white at both Michael's and Hobby Lobby. I just picked up a pretty soft tan suede one for my Chamomile pullover.

This is a really cool way for someone to see what you have been doing. Your knitting is pretty damned impressive. Nice work. For that matter so is your website. Well it was nice to see what you are doing.

i'm loving the lace-up tank! can't wait to see how it develops for you. and if you feel uncomfortable with the brown ties (i like 'em!) if you use the same color ties as the tank it will be more inconspicuous...

Your hat is going to be fabulous, and that tank is really something. I can't wait to see them both!

Can't wait to see the new hat. Still reeling from that last tank - love it!

I think you can pull that lace up think off just fine :)
Kiss Bella Loo Boppa for me.

That tank is very cowgirl-esque. It reminds me of the way your blog used to look (a long time ago). Are you a cowgirl? :) Have you started the tank yet? I'll be posting photos of my progress later tonight... I'm using Rowan Summer Tweed and sorta making it up as I go along!

That tank looks really nice. Couldn't you use a thin cotton shoestring (in white or blue) instead of the brown leather ties? I really liked your chevron tank too. You are so tiny!!
Your Bella-Schmoo is adorable and Chili too!!
