Was nice, nothing particularly smashing, but I enjoyed it. Saw several folks I don&#8217;t see much of these days, picked up a bracelet (bike chain pattern), got some sun (no burn though &#8211; yay SPF 30). I didn&#8217;t go out to the parade last night &#8211; I didn&#8217;t want to go drinking after or during after yesterday morning&#8217;s race, and honestly I prefer the festival for people watching and talking. Instead I finished up Half-Life 2: Episode One on the Xbox (didn&#8217;t take long, actually), finished a knitting sampler I was working on (increases and decreases, various methods), and started the next project &#8211; BC&#8217;s hat, to match the scarf. The hat, after the initial cast on and row, is coming along quite nicely, especially in comparison to the scarf. We&#8217;ll see how it goes when I have to start decreasing and slip it over to the double pointed needles.  <\/p>\n<p>Question for my knitting friends: Do they not make aluminium or metal needles these days? Mom has a ton (which I will filch from her in due time), and I like the feel of them, but almost everything I see other than Addi Turbos are wood of some sort (or bamboo). What gives? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tried to go shopping today, post-pride.
