FO!

This is the Apres Surf Hoodie, from IK Summer 2008, in Rowan Cashsoft 4 ply (colorway: bark). Modified to be knit in the round, and unblocked in this photo, as its designated recipient was eager to put it on, be photographed, and appear on the blog!

She is off to the Red Sox/Blue Jays game tonight with friends (and 1 parent). Bartolo Colon vs. Jesse Litsch. It's an important game, made even more so by the pasting the Sox took in the 1st game of this day/night doubleheader.

Her sister, meanwhile, with grim and determined mien, put in 2 hours of bicycling practice this afternoon and is close to being cleared to ride to school (again, with a parent).

We are again puppysitting this weekend. Raeford's paw to body ratio appears to be shifting and we all now think she's going to be a bigger dog than originally predicted. She is still a princess, yet fun to have around, and she has gotten very attached to R. She hates it when he goes out without her (as he has just done, to drop D#1 off for this baseball event).

Tomatoes are still ripening ...
