My newest knitting joy = The Swallowtail shawl. It’s magical the way you start with a little rectangle and it grows in both directions to be a triangle! The charts are growing on me and growing easier all the time. I love lace!! C hates it. He says it looks messy – ripped and full of holes. I’m like – it’s lace – it’s supposed to have holes – it’ll look better when it’s stretched out off the needles…. Oh well.
Also – I read the best book I have in a long time. It’s kindof an intelligent romance novel – Kyra by Carol Gilligan. Read it. I cried and cried and cried and cried. I really liked it. I think it’s because it’s about loss and I’ve been dealing with a lot of loss in the past year.
I got new sneaks for spring / summer! They’re white and 2 kinds of blue. I actually love them – they really perk me up. I thought I loved my black ones, but I never knew how much they were dragging me down. I feel kindof fresh and new in my new sneakers!!
I miss my brothers and sister. I wish we all lived closer and could hangout all the time.

Awww… I’m sorry you miss you siblings.. I know that really stinks, because for a while I lived far from mine. *hugs* Awesome that you got new sneaks, though!
Can’t wait to see your swallowtail shawl, I’m sure it’s gorgeous!
btw: You guessed right! It’s an Icarus. I loves it.
