97% HumidityIs summer finally coming to the DC area? When I woke up this morning, the weather guy was cheerfully announcing that the humidity was at 97%, and was RISING. Perhaps the "warm, sticky blanket" of humidity is finally moving in. I can't say I'm particularly excited about it... last night, I fired up my AC... more for the humidity than for the heat. I did sleep better... Progress on Donegal continues... in this picture, you can see one of the hedgehog earrings I've modified to use as a stitch marker... I just took the wire and wrapped it around a needle, then snipped off the end. I think the hedgehogs are perfect for this project! :) I am REALLY pleased with how the blues and greens make stripes... I like that they blend into each other, but also do the horizontal striping thing. :) I LOVE knitting this... I'm definitely sold on doing fair isles, and I really love the yarn. Plus, considering that I ordered it from ENGLAND, the service was amazing... I got the yarn in a few weeks after ordering it. Of course, with the dollar being so weak right now, it's probably not the best time to buy more... but hopefully by the time I plan my next few fair isle projects, the exchange rate will be a little better. :) I'm thinking that both my mom and I will eventually "need" fair isle creations... ;)
On another good note, I was able to sell my LSAT prep book! I bought it from amazon for about $20, and since the test is over, I decided to sell it. I used the amazon marketplace or whatever they call it- very easy to do! It sold... in 1 day! I get about $18 from amazon, but I have to pay shipping, so it'll probably end up being more like $15. But still... talk about a good experience! I would DEFINITELY do it again if the occasion arose. I'm glad too that I decided to keep the book in good condition- I didn't write on any of the tests, so I was able to sell it. :)
