Progress.
Thanks for all the nice comments about my break-in. In order to show the robbers that they can't bring me down, I've already re-knitted the entire piece that got stolen ... and then I kept on going and finished the ribbing on both front sides of my Cutaway.
Lovely curvy fronts.

I was nervous about the front of this sweater looking like crapola, because I'm not always the best at picking up stitches in an even fashion. This time I forged ahead and it turned out great!
Doesn't it match my black top and hot pink skirt? Har.
I'm very pleased with my shaped ribbing. Yay me. Sleeve #1 is about 1/3 done, so there's a possibility of a finished Cutaway this weekend. Now if it would just cool down...
Speaking of cooling down, Bella got a haircut this week. Her fur was getting out of hand and Jacob decided to give her a new shaved look -- she looks like a puppy! SCHMOO.
Hello, I'm trying to sleep here.
You probably can't tell a difference, but she's like a new little schmoo to me. He left her face scruff, and I'm glad.. as Karen commented, "it's like a sweet halo of schmooness all around her." Totally.
Trapeze class and knitting tonight! Woot. I ran four miles on Sunday (!!!!) and the mileage is only going up from here, so trapeze class is really some good strength training and stretching. I just wish the bruises on the backs of my knees would go away. And also ,I wish I was a little better at it. In time. I will be.
And finally, in other bizarre news, I'm singing back up with a band this weekend in Athens. The band is ... dare I say... hip hop? The name of the band is Bling the Children Back Home. Yes, you read that correctly. More on that later, maybe.
