Lazy Sunday Complete with Cupcakes

Whew! The whirlwind that was S's wedding is now complete! They tied the knot yesterday and are en route to Maui for a week. The wedding was fun, food was so so; half of our table never recieved soup and the wait staff couldn't seem to figure out who had the chicken and who had the fish. We realized this morning that we forgot to grab the bags with the favors in them...wonder what they were. I also found this funny, on several of my trips to the bathroom different groups of women were complaining about their shoes and how they couldn't wait to get out of them. I managed to control myself and not make a fool of myself on the dance floor until the last two songs. Some of our table mates were rather annoying but once the dancing started we didn't have to chat with them anymore because they were dancing fools for the rest of the night. It was nice seeing old friends and meeting new spouses. Today we took it easy; I made lasagna and cupcakes on Friday night so we munched on that today.


I wore the newly finished Hanami shawl and it was nice and warm on a crisp fall night. From now on I will most likely just wear it as a scarf so I can get more use out of it. I'm not really a shawl girl.


I also found out that one of my friends is avec bebe! She will find out the sex on Wednesday, 21 weeks along. I'm hoping for a girl so that there are more fun knitting projects...let's face it...boy patterns are boooorrriinng.

For the other baby in my life, I have knitted this earflap hat:





This was a very quick quick quick project. I still have to block it because the ear flaps curl and so does the front of the hat. I'm also planning on making a pom pom for the top. My first attempt at making one was less than desirable...I only half followed the directions figuring I could cut a few corners but apparently not. I have another skein of this yarn so I'm torn about making some mittens for the young chap or making myself some knee high-ish type socks.


I'm making myself finish all works in progress before starting anything new (with the exception of BBC's blanket which I only work on at lunch at the office). Here's my progress on My So Called Scarf:

There is some variation on the tension, or at least it seems that way..I can't tell if it's me or the yarn. It's handspun and varies quite a bit in thickness throughout the hank. I've just added the second hank and then I will be finished! Then I'll focus more on the blanket...I still haven't posted it. After my scarf is done I will treat you to a pic...
