Random Information
1. We went to a really great wedding a couple of weekends ago. My sister and I got silly with some old friends and our boys. Here's a picture of me and Jacob:
Weddings are fun!
And here is a quite ridiculous picture of me leading the conga line during the reception. In my defense, my friend John (behind me - you can see how excited he is) MADE me start the conga line, and TWICE - the first time we tried, no one joined in. I think they felt sorry for us the second time.
Feel that conga beat.
(That's my twin sis in the green, followed by my friend Erica,
and then Anna and Jeff, the bride and groom. Yay.)
2. I've been test knitting a camisole top for Glampyre Stef and it's almost completely finished. She's already got the pattern up for sale if you likey. Me likey. It fits well, and the Cotton Fleece was perfect for this project (I made the XS, although I think the S would probably fit me okay too.)I didn't know how I was going to feel about the bobbles, but I think they turned out to be cute:
This pose doesn't show the pattern very well. But I'm glamorous.
Here's a better front view.
Yes, I know I'm only rocking one strap. I haven't gotten the second one finished yet, but I really wanted to take pictures tonight because I was with HEJ and AM and we were feeling slaphappy. See:
This is actually the AM-and-HEJ-have-serious-knitting-time-photo.
I think the slaphappy one is on AM's camera.
That Jenny, she can teach you something about seaming. I'm not kidding.
3. I'm so sleepy that I've typed like 12 things for #3 and deleted them, including something about how I'm cuter in pictures when other people are in the picture too, and something about a phone conversation I had with Jacob. Um, clearly Number Three is that I've got to go to bed.

The dress you are wearing in the wedding photos is so pretty!
I dig the one-strap tank... totally love the glamorous, thousand-yard-stare tank picture, too. You look adorable- when I try to pose like that I look like Zoolander.

I guess I'm not the only one to think so, but that dress you wore to the wedding is perfect. Extremely flattering and classy, gives that small waist look. Where is it from?

Ooo, your cami came out so cute! I really wanted to be a test knitter for this one, but didn't get chosen. Oh well...It's adorable on you and I think I must buy this pattern and some Cotton Fleece as well.

Rock on! That camisole is too cool!
Posted by elizabeth | August 11, 2005 10:46 AM
Dear Sleepy Sleeperton,
I love the camisole...can I borrow it. Before Jenna does? And also, if I ever get married, and have a wedding, you have to swear to start a conga line, kay?
And also, my seams looks SO good thanks to you and HEJ!!!!

Very cute cami! It fits you great.
So finally it was follow the leader & do the Conga! Looks like a fab time for all!
Posted by Eilene | August 11, 2005 10:23 AM
Yeah, I had to compliment you on the dress, too. The camisole is cute, even with one strap. :-)

A funtastic wedding! And I kinda like the one-strap look on the latest Glampyre top. =)
Posted by Rossana | August 11, 2005 9:43 AM
I too was checking out your dress. I have to go to a wedding next month and I'm stressing about what to wear. The tank looks great.

Ditto on the dress - it was the first thing I thought. Uberfashionibley.
The girls do look serious, but then again, knitting is a serious thing. At least with my own knitting lately I've felt like every project should have that sticker on it: Closed course. Professional Knitters ONLY. ;-)

Again, super cute dress and good lord look how tiny you are! My compliments to the Glampyre Queen for designing something SO CUTE and my compliments to you for knitting it SO WELL!
-YAY CARRIE!

I LOVE the dress you wore to the wedding. VERY appropriate for leading the conga line. The new cami looks cool, too--I like it with one strap!
Posted by molly | August 11, 2005 8:02 AM
Look at you in your Glampyre Camisole! It was such a fun knit! I need to finish my straps too, but I'm not so handy with the crochet hook. And like everyone else, I need to let you know that the dress is so sweet.

It's so late little one! You need to get to bed!
The dress is adorable...love the pearls, very chic!
Posted by Christie | August 11, 2005 2:50 AM
Yep, I second or third the notion that your dress is super cute - green/blue and brown - who wouldda known!!! Stef's patterns always rocks....I might have to get that one too!! Great job.
Posted by kat | August 11, 2005 2:49 AM
OMG that dress is sooo cute and you look SO CUTE IN IT! Where'd you get it?
AM and Jenny look SOO serious! That IS some serious knitting time!
Posted by Lara | August 11, 2005 1:49 AM
Look at you with your cute dress and skinny little leggers leading a conga line!
HEJ's shirt is really cute.
And, last but not least, that's a really cool tank you've almost finished knitting. Nice color.
