Update
Sunday, August 26th, 2007The best album of 2007 so far is The Shins Wincing the Night Away. I got it a few weeks ago at Sonic Boom Records. It was so cool. It came with free mp3 downloads. I know a bunch of albums out there do but this was the first one I’ve purchased.
I listen to it all day at work and often put the album on when I get home. It’s really good. You should check it out if you don’t have it yet.
Yesterday I finished off the Colombia Llano Grande, Cup of Excellence 2007. It was the best coffee I’ve had in a long time and was well worth the $20/lb. Tom got us a grinder as a wedding gift and it was a perfect first grind.
To replace it I’m trying the Colombia Huila El Palacio. Jeff endorses it so it is well worth a try.
Recently I hauled out the scarf I started years ago and gave it another try. This time I got good results. I’ve moved on to making one in the basketweave stitch. This one hasn’t been quite as easy. Front and back keep getting switched. So it’s just a dry run for the real thing. J.P. has asked me to make him one.
Next weekend I plan to go to the Village Yarn and Tea in Shoreline. They’re having a yarn sale. I’ve got J.P.’s scarf and another project to work on. If those go well I’ll try to make leg wamers and then hopefully a sweater. I’m looking forward to fall so I can wear my creations.
Job ends this Friday. We’ll see what comes next.
