I still have not uploaded pictures of the alpacas from the 4th of July weekend. At least now I have the very good excuse that I've packed almost everything, and can't figure out what I did with the camera cable again. I think I know where it is though. With any luck, I'll have things to upload soon.
I did manage to figure out the wedding gift knitting dilemma though. I've gone back to the original plan, which was to make a nice bead-knit purse for my future sister-in-law. Her dress is not white, and is all lace, so the ivory wool lace shawl was just not going to work. The lace itself is more of a champagne color and the silk under is almost taupe. So the bad I'm knitting has really neat taupe beads with a salmon sort of colored thread. It sounds strange, but it's very pretty and will look really nice with the dress and with the colors she's picked out for the wedding decorations. Plus it should go fast. I only have to knit 16 stitches a row, the rest of it's all beads. Hurray!
Packing is going quite well. All my cloths and costumes are ready to get put in wardrobe boxes when those show up, and pretty much all I have left to pack is stuff I need for the rest of the week. It's a bit sad, to have a life reduced to a box pile, but there it is. The nice Salvation Army folks are coming out on Wednesday to pick up a bunch of stuff, so I have to spend the next two evenings re-packing up all the stuff I'm getting rid of. What fun.
Wednesday...yeah that's going to be an interesting day. I've it worked out so I can work from home to deal with the pick up people, then I'm having dinner with a bunch of people and after that...well...more about that latter. I'm sorry to mysterious, but there it is.
