the sun finally came out to play
05 05 2008
So we took a few pictures yesterday. We were down in Tualatin, meeting Mom for lunch, but we were about half an hour early so we made a little side trip over to the little man-made lake in the center of Tualatin. For the first year and a half that I lived in the Portland area, I lived on this little lake. I miss the view and the geese, although I do like our house and living in SE Portland.
Nik and I ate dinner here on our first date:
That's Hayden's Grill, and those are people dining lakeside while enjoying the sun, as Nik and I did on our first date. It's on the south end of the lake; I lived in an apartment on the north end. (The path around the lake is only about 1/3 of a mile--all the way around--which is why I have a habit of referring to it as "the little lake.")
The purpose of our side trip, though, wasn't so much a trip down memory lane (although that's always nice!), but rather for these:
The Twisted Sky Socks, brilliant in the sunshine! (I love the brightness of those colors--and people's reactions to them.)
And, finally, Flair:
(Is my hair getting too long?)
And a bonus, since I grabbed it on the way out the door, too. My Dream in Color shrug, which I knitted, oh, last summer, I think, but never managed to take pictures of:
This shrug is from the Dream in Color Shrug pattern, and is knit in Dream in Color Classy (the color is Spring Tickle). I absolutely love this pattern, and this yarn. I still want to make another one.
Tomorrow is my loooong day at work. I'm hesitant to get my hopes up, but if today was any indication tomorrow should be one of the better processing Tuesdays. Which means I might be done by 6:30 instead of 8:30--at least so long as the day doesn't begin with a note like this. (That's from two weeks ago--scary start to the day.)
Unless I collapse from exhaustion by the time I get home tomorrow, I expect to be back with pictures of the in-progress Charade sock (pretty, pretty yarn!) and Follow the Leader shawl. Amazingly, I'm making decent progress on both. :)
