Happy 4th of July! The fireworks will be on in an hour or so, and then, hopefully, it will be the New England Revolution kicking LA's butt all over the place! Soccer knitting is at least as much fun as movie knitting!
Today I finished making my ice cream experiment. Initial thoughts: could have used that pinch of salt and probably a mix of fat-free half and half and regular. It's not really ice cream at less than 2 grams of fat per serving (more like a sherbet), and it needs to be out either at room temperature or defrosted in the microwave to make it scoopable. I'm pretty sure that next time I'll add one more tablespoon of tequila to the mix (I think a fair amount of the alcohol was cooked out of the bananas). Hopefully that will make a more ice cream-like concoction.
So, earlier this week I decided that I couldn't sew up Vestish while watching something, so I started a pair of socks. I didn't get very far that first night, but I'm making decent progress!
I'm about 2 inches away from the heel, and then I'll get into the more interesting lace portion. My feet are a little longer than the 8 inches that is the small size for the pattern, but the larger one would make socks that are too wide for my feet so hopefully I'll have a happy medium and not run out of yarn before they get as long as I want them to be.
90 minutes of soccer should get me firmly into the heel turning, and plenty of commuting time should be enough to get me to the lace (and maybe finished? they feel like they're pretty fast, but probably not that fast). Tomorrow is the Aquarium, where I will look at the fishies and the pengies and generally be happy and mentally about 5. Or 15 if there is a huge bout of "panguin wrassling" like there was last time I went. Yeah!
