Lefty's blocking. That makes my 41st project of 2008. I should blast through 50 in no time. Go me! Too bad my queue has like 200+ things on it.

you can't prove it won't happen

So out of all of the boxes of books and crap I have, the moving company just had to go and lose my knitting books. I seriously can't believe it. 30+ of my knitting books, pamphlets, and magazines are gone. Now I sit around and wait for the claims ...

The first of a pair of Rose's Wrist Warmers. I could probably finish the other tomorrow, but I'm breaking it up a bit.

The Austin Whole Foods actually carries slices of vegan cake. Hooray! I'm pretty spoiled with the Whole Foods in Wheaton, because all of the Chicagoland Whole Foods stores have cake from the Chicago Diner. But this one had a piece. So until my kit...
