Things I did to prepare for the trip:

made tote bags

tidied house

laundry

packed

printed directions

squealed

this

The long wait is over and we are on our way!!! We are hitting the road at 9:30 am, will be stopping for lunch and are hoping to arrive around 2:00 pm. We will be carrying those purlingswine totebags, so look for us!

The Vest is a blockin’ and The House is a rockin’ !!!

When all had given up hope that The Vest would ever be finished, the day has arrived! I won’t post a pic until the Boar can model it for us. This was a project that sat in my knitting bag for two years. There it sat, completely finished except for the seaming of the buttonbands! And there I sat, completely ignoring it.

I have made such a friggin big deal about this vest that you may be expecting to see some knitting miracle, something so spectacular it could only be a mirage. Don’t get your hopes up — it is simply a stockinette stitch vest.

The thought consuming my brain today is that I am leaving tomorrow!! hip-hip-hooray! Join in, won’t you while I chant the B-52’s song:

I got me a car
It’s as big as a whale and
We’re About to Set Sail!
We’re heading down the Jersey Turnpike
Looking for the Sheep Festival!

And what a weekend I am leaving behind. Among the many things to get done:

they can do it!!! they are all fully-functioning human beings — I refuse to believe otherwise.
