hmphWell, I finally got yesterday's post published- stupid blogger! Not that I can really complain- after all, I don't pay for the service.Last night my friend and I went downtown to the Natural History Museum- we got a little bit wet running through the torrential downpour getting to the metro station, but eventually dried out in the over-air conditioned museum. We went down to look at the diamond exhibit, which was very impressive... all of the stones were beautiful. We were going to see the 3-d imax cirque du soleil movie also, but for some inexplicable reason they had cancelled all the shows that evening... but we still had fun. I especially enjoyed seeing these paintings- they were AMAZING. Afterwards, we went for pho for dinner... MMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!! So even without the movie, it was a really fun outing- especially since museums in DC are free! :) I've started working on my next swatch for the aran... but I didn't get far enough for a picture. Today at lunch I'll probably finish the bluebell socks. I wound yarn last night for my next pair in case I finish the bluebell socks before lunch is over... the next pair will be regia, and since I use contrasting yarn for the heel/toe, I wound some of the cream contrasting yarn into a nice little ball. When I woke up this morning, a VERY satisfied Cricket was surveying yarn chaos. She had strung the yarn all over the apartment- luckily it broke at some point so the rest of the ball stayed intact. I would have liked to get mad, but I understand that the yarn provoked her, sitting in that nice tidy little ball like that. THIS is exactly why I'm very good about always putting my yarn/projects away... or mostly away. At least she doesn't usually hurt the yarn- sometimes breaks it, but usually just strings it throughout the apartment. :) I guess all that yarn-policing makes for a tired kitty:
