Finished!

I stayed up until 1 am last night finishing C's sweater. I was less than thrilled with the finished piece, so I redid the neck. It was a bit too tight. I wish I had spaced the seed stitch stripes out more on the body-it would be a bit more interesting visually. Otherwise, it's fine-a good casual sweater. She's delighted with it.

I did a little combing this morning. More of the Corriedale from Wooly Acres and some Romney that I bought at SAFF a couple of years back and dyed it with Kool-Aid. I have no idea how I got that shade. Probably a little Cherry/Berry Blue combination. That's what I buy the most.

I got some more cookbooks from my extended family. I love their minimalist ways. I'm especially excited about the old Betty Crocker and Good Housekeeping ones-oh, and the Taste of Georgia looks great, too. Any local Junior League type cookbook where the names of the contributors(after the recipe) are listed like...
Mrs. Ray Sewell(Edith)
...is sure to be a hit with me. Women who weren't afraid of being known as Mrs. Bill Smith are probably a good example to follow in the housekeeping dpt. These women don't need to watch shows like How to Boil Water. I'll bet they even wash their walls and ceilings. Definitely going to try some of those recipes.
