AC ON!!! (And Other Ramblings)

My AC was finally repaired on Tuesday, thank heavens!!! Unfortunately, on Wednesday afternoon I became incredibly stuffed up and achy and had to stay home from work for the most part of the day on Thursday. Wednesday and Thursday I didn't feel like knitting at all...it was awful! But I have regained some of my strength and have started working on the Baby Genius Burpcloth from the Mason Dixon Knitting book for a lady that I work and bookclub with who is expecting a baby in September. Will post pictures soon as I should be finishing it up before too long however slow it might seem I am going...

Today in the mail I received some beautiful Euroflax Linen in French Blue for the Moss Grid handtowel that is also in the Mason Dixon Knitting book. Everything that I have made from the book so far I have either given as a gift or plan to, but I have a feeling that I am going to be keeping this for myself! I would like to make a whole set, but am going to have to find a more economical substitution for the Euroflax first...although this yarn definitely does go hand in hand with the glamour girl image I try so hard to maintain. :-)

On another note, I am thinking of doing away with all of the throw pillows I have around my house (did I just hear my mother pass out???) and replacing them with pounds of love...any thoughts?

I am not sure that you can tell just how large this skein of yarn is, but let me assure you, it's gigantic.
