[But that’s the way I like it]
Thursday afternoon I went to the Lake City Farmers Market to take pictures of the Zucchini Races. Our office generally has a table promoting the Center & literacy projects at the market, but Thursday there was no time for reading, only time for zucchini.
Making cars:
On your mark, get set, go!
The Family Center is the clear winner, creaming the Farmer’s Market!
Friday after work I went up to Third Place Books to see the Yarn Harlot. Because she is awesome. I got there a little (okay, a lot) early, on purpose. They have a nice little commons there with free wifi and a few restaurants. I hung out and knitted and watched some TV on the laptop, as all the knitters filtered in.
The Harlot is always funny, of course, but I tend to find her pretty empowering as well. I’m really a star at demeaning my own work, and she puts forth a pretty strong argument against that.
Speaking of my own work, I made it to the armholes on Samus last night. Here’s a shot from Saturday night:
And the other productive thing I did this weekend:
The package calls these “Danishes”, which is generous. If you take them as Danishes you’re in for disappointment, but if you call them scones they’re downright tasty. Oh, gluten free. It can be tough.
(Hey! Ben Lee has a new album coming out tomorrow! Score.)

Zucchini races? ARE THE CUTEST THING I’VE SEEN ALL WEEK.
And I’m so taken by the Samus project. It’s understated and *lovely*.

They were *ridiculously* fun. I am so glad I went over. Everyone else was crazy to stay at work.
Thanks! Now I am just hoping I don’t muck it all up when I seam it. Also, that it fits. Hee.

I managed to seam my first & only sweater all by myself and it looked okay. So you should be *more* than fine.
I forgot to ask what the daniscones’ filling is?

Cables, seriously, are *super* easy. I swears it, precious!

The filling’s just apricot jam from Trader Joe’s. Tasty tasty! I think I will have one now. Breakfast for dinner is best.
