What I Did Over the Weekend

This statue and pond is outside a restaurant my hubby and I had lunch at on Sat. in Scottsdale called Chelsea's Kitchen (40th Street and Camelback Road). The food was great and it was all locals, so the prices weren't too steep.
We both thought this looked exactly like Ella the dog (see sidebar for photo). I think it was pretty close. If you look close, they have the dog/wolf looking down into the fountain. At first I thought it was a bear, but still had to take a picture to show you all!


Then, yesterday (Mon.) I had to play catch up. You know, when you're gone for a weekend and then you come home to piles of laundry and no food in the house for two growing munchkins. Not to mention that it was time to clean up a little bit.
But I was able to finish the blue hat while watching Heroes last night. Not a bad picture if I do say so myself (took it myself backwards in the mirror!).

(Lily, Sugar 'n Cream, 100% cotton; 70.9 g; Hot Blue; I used about one and a half balls.)
Does my hat look like the one from the mag? I think so. I think I like it better in the blue than the cream. Oh, it's from Vogue Knitting, knit.1, the Spring '07 issue. I have a whole ball and about a half leftover so I might make another one for a friend in Colorado who loves all the hats I make for her.
Slow progress on the socks, it's almost too hot, well not almost is, to think about wool socks, but I swear, this morning my feet were cold, so...I want to finish the basic Magic Stripe yarn socks and the Nancy Bush Cabled Rib socks before I dive into my IK Sock book.
Today it's the last early out Tues. for the munchkin at school, they're out on Thurs for the summer (sigh). But I signed both up for swimming lessons that start on Monday and then school starts for both in August, not too, too far away.
Hope all had a great week, and for those that I tagged, I'm sorry I really hate doing that sort of thing, but when I actually had to think about what I wrote, it was difficult.
Anyway, I hope all had a great weekend and a great start to the week. Keep knitting and showing the pictures, you all inspire me to finish my projects.
