Yesterday was my birthday. 26 yay.
It wasn't too different from any other day, really. Although a coworker sang to me three times (not the whole song any of those times, that would have been weird) and Christine gave me a balloon. And a giftcard to Starbucks. She knows me so well.
This is my birthday present to myself; I finally started my Clapotis. Actually, I started it New Year's weekend, but I worked on it a little yesterday and I'll work on it more tonight. On the right you can see the beginnings of the dropped stitches. It'll definitely need some blocking when I'm done. The only way the dropped side would stay flat was if i held the corner under the couch cushion.
I'm making it in Lorna's Laces Shepherd Worsted in the Black Purl colorway. I yub this yarn. I want to snuggle in it, especially after using it for christine's baby blanket (below). Once it had been washed (yay machine washable!!) with some Eucalan, it was soft and incredible. I can't wait for this to be finished, washed, and ready to wear (i.e., blocked). I just hope it gets cold sometime this winter to require its use.
