I just recieved my first gift-certificate for Adagio Teas! It’s from Michelle as a prize for winning her caption blog contest. Yay! I showed it to Yannick when he got home and he made me spend it right away, so an herbal sampler package is on its way to us, all thanks to Michelle!

To the what- 9? people who read my blog, sorry about the lack of interesting content lately. I’ve been in a serious blog funk. It could be due to the heat wave going on here and the fact that my computer practically sits in the sun, which makes me tend to avoid it when I’m home.

I finished the Shapely Tank on Friday and weaved in all the ends. Just in time to wear on Saturday night. I was very pleasantly surprised with the drape of the fabric, because I’d assumed that the Sirocco would be stiff and yet the tank drapes and flows, doesn’t cling and is really comfy.

We had a good time at the 40th anniversary party for Yannick’s aunt and uncle, Lise and Leo. There was a sit-down dinner, drinks, d.j., airing of a video montage with photos and music, and even a special guest. I don’t watch it (amazing- a tv show I don’t watch!) but there’s a Canadian American Idol-type show (not Canadian Idol) called Star Academie. Well, one of the contestants is a cousin to Yannick’s cousin’s wife, and he came and sang for about an hour. He sang in both French and English, and was very good. His name is Dave Roussy.

I did absolutely nothing yesterday, not even knit. I’ve made up for it today by working on the baby outfit. I’m trying to get some of it done because when I get back from Las Vegas the yarn for Yafit and Bernie’s wedding gifts will have arrived, and their wedding date is before the baby shower.

I’m also starting something new. From now on when you comment on my blog I’ll reply here but copy/paste it into an email directly to, since I realized that I enjoy when people email me once I’ve commented on their sites, so I should extend the same courtesies. I’ll start tomorrow 🙂

To Shell: Gosh I’m not pregnant! Just moody lol. Hey, I know what the AKSP is but what’s the back tack?

To Jen L: I wrote all about the knitting machine when I was using it in April. In case I forget to email you back you can check out the archives for April, it covers a few posts.

To kmckiernan: I’m so upset I forgot your first name! I hope to really enjoy SP5, are you in it?

To Caroline: It was great meeting you too! The Shapely tank is a great pattern, but I might make the straps narrower next time, that’s the only thing I’d change.
