Happy Valentine's Day!!!

For Valentine's Day, we didn't do much.  Went out to dinner last night to celebrate the Chinese New Year with some friends.  I got a card, but most of all... I got sleep.  I slept until 1 pm today.  Oh, it was sooo wonderful.  I haven't done that in years.

Sleep is good.

I also have been joining in the Ravelympics, and finished an old project that has been sitting in my knitting bag.  Sad and all alone.  Olympic knitting is so much fun, and so motivating for some reason!!!

This shawl is from "Knitting Triangles" by Evelyn Clark, and is a mix and match of different patterns to make your own.  This book is great, and is more of a recipe book for a shawl than anything.  Great book, I highly recommend if you like lace knitting, particularly in triangle form.  Malabrigo laceweight, in a really candy cotton pink.  My favorite of colors.  I'm definitely not girly until it comes to the color pink. :D  Size 4 Addi Lace needles.

Damson blocking

Not much going on here.  We've been a houseful of sickness.  The baby has been sick, we have ALL had the stomach virus, and I officially tested positive for mono.  Whee.

I did get Damson blocked.  Thank you Rachel, I used the spare bedroom bed, and shut the door to keep the kitties out and off the yarn!
