During the week I decided to try and find Boyfriend & I something to do. I vaguely remembered having a swap partner who was involved in Geocaching. I didn't know much about it then but I decided to look it up and thought we'd give it a try. Looked forward to it allll week, too. So yesterday, Boyfriend & two other friends and I piled into my car & drove to Hofstra Park in Prospect Park, NJ & set out to give this a shot. It took us awhile to find the first one, and we didn't find all the ones we set out to find, but we did find some and we had a blast! Got a good little workout too. The park was great, both urban & woodsy at the same time. It was kind of weird but good for our purposes. It was up on top of a hill overlooking Paterson & a strip mine... so they were nice views... of the sky anyway.
Afterwards we got lunch, parted ways for showers and naps, and reconvened at our place around eight for pesto & games. Gaming until 3 am does weird things to people. There was no drinking (for once) but we did end up making a cake.
Today I'm just catching up on stuff I didn't get to do during the week. Like taking pics of my FO's from the week, replying to emails I didn't feel like reading on my phone. Now I'm about ready for a nap though.
I did finish Candome hat. I tried to make the top a little interesting by adding a little cable twist into the decrease section, but it's not really noticable, I don't think. Oh well, no worries. The colors are nice, even if they're not my colors.
I finished the bag too, which I ADORE and I'm PUMPED to make another for myself! I was worried it wouldn't be the size I wanted, which was large enough to hold a beach towel. In lieu of a beach towel I tested it with my voluminous bathrobe and it totally fit! Super pumped! And I love this yarn! I don't think I'd ever use it for anything other than beachbags, but I am tempted to go stock up on some Cascade Sunseeker in different colors and make a few spares.
This morning I CO'd a flat knit cowl. My co-worker loved the hat I made in Piedras for Mal Madness but she doesn't wear hats or want a cowl that she has to pull over her head. I snagged a skein of Twist in Piedras on sale & figured I'd make her something with buttons. I don't like flat knitting as much as in the round, but I'll get through it. =) But first I think I really want a nap. Not feeling hot today again, so at the very least I'd like to be horizontal with comfy blankets & pillows on my comfy comfy sleep number bed. Tea and nap, then more knitting. Sounds like a kickass finish to a weekend to me! =D
