We’re back! Ezra has recovered most, if not all, of my previous posts. With a few tweaks, the blog will be as good as new. Thank you–as always, Mr. Ball!

Oh, the places I might go

NYC. As many of you reading this already know, Ez got a new job for a company that, at the moment, is based in NY. They’re opening a Boston/Cambridge office in the very near future, but until that happens he’ll be down there a good bit and then working from home (with me!). Anyway, I’m hoping to tag along on some of the NY trips. It’ll be nice to a) be able to see my husband, b) be able to see New York, c) maybe even see my cousin, d) maybe even see some of my friends down there, … and–e) potentially have lodging paid for to boot.

Chicago. Pal Amy is going there for work in October, and has suggested that she wouldn’t mind if I were to join her. This is another case of potential cup running over. A) I’d love to go back to Chicago and explore more, b) I might get to go back to the Art Institute, c) [as if I could hide this fact in the middle of the list], Interpol are supposed to be playing a show there at that time [I say “supposed to” because, annoyingly, it has not yet been confirmed], d) might even get to see a few other friends there [though some of my Chicago friends have moved away], and oh… did I mention? e) I’d get to go on a trip with pal Amy!

Barcelona/Paris/someplace European. This is another pal Amy adventure, potentially. Like Chicago, this would potentially be both an Amy work trip and an Interpol show(s) trip. And heck, IT’S EUROPE, which of course I love. That’s a dreamy thought, though I have not yet determined where the money for such a trip would come from.

The Knitting Turnip

On My Needles

Rhapsody in Tweed cabled pullover for Ezra! using Tahki Donegal Tweed in Forest, from Fall 2004 Interweave Knits. I've just picked this one up again, so it's moving up in the queue!

Sweater with Cable Patterns pullover using Araucania Nature Wool Chunky in Mauve, from Rebecca Magazine Number 28

Heather Pullover using Classic Elite Wings in Larkspur, from Rowan’s A Season’s Tale... This needs the knit doctor. I'm going to have to frog back a little bit and redo the shoulder area. Long story.

Hush Pullover using Jo Sharp DK wool in Wine, from Rowan’s Calmer Collection

Stash Stealer Scarf for me, using delicious yarn that darling Amy let me raid from her stash. I made up the pattern--a couple of wide ribs rimmed in moss stitch. It's soft and fuzzy and DONE!
