The sweater is nearing completion. The collar, buttons, and arm holes need to be sewed, and then it's done. I was irritable today, so didn't feel like finishing it; something about relentless stitching when you're in a funky mood just pisses you off even more.
Gratuitous self-plug. It's me and my Spain oil painting. Looks funky with the flash, but I promise it's much nicer in person. It also needs a frame. Kinda hard to find affordable 30x40 frames. I picked up a few patterns and some fabric from Hobby Lobby today. McCall's patterns were only 99 cents - holy crap! Had to get me some of that. I went and checked out a fabric store in town called Pruitt's. It's old and dingy in there, but you can find some great fabrics at good prices. The guy that owns it travels around to find the fabric. It was cool, but I think I'd rather stick to well-lit locations with less accumulated dust.
A strong cold front blew in today - it's getting down into the 30s tonight. There's a lot of standing water in the area, which is just asking for it all to freeze later. How awesome would it be if school was canceled....?
