Orangina the White is so much fun to knit. I've only had time to sneak quick bits here and there but so far, and even with the teeny tiny 3mm needles, I've got 6 inches going on. I'm hoping to finish this up in time for 4th July weekend so I can wear it during various bbq's and have people lining up to congratulate me on such a stunning piece, and to place an order for one, ha....Sigh. Chances are no one will notice. No one cares about my knitting. Except for my mom. And Duck. And you. Actually Duck's put a few requests in for a sweater, but I'm selfish and won't make one for him yet. Guys are too BIG. In the time and money it takes to make a large guy sweater, I could make a hundred sweaters for me. So I always pick me. Ha.

As I posted previously, I cast on 27 stitches less than the smallest size, or in other words, have only 8 repeats of the lace pattern. The width is a little less than 12 inches across. I was afraid this was going to be too small even for me. When I hold it up I think, am I really going to attempt to wear this doily? The material is extremely lightweight as well so it seems that much more unsubstantial. But it's stretchy too, so hopefully no problems there. I do want it to be fitted.

I'm so glad it's the weekend, and I'm so glad it's going to be a scorcher. Finally! We're going to be pushing 100F/37C degrees. I would have liked to have gone to the Cape this weekend, but it was just our luck that the one time we were invited, it turns out to fall on a crappy weekend sandwiched between two great ones. Anyway last weekend at the beach wasn't bad at all despite the chill; we just didn't get any proper tanning done. And I drank a lot more than I would have otherwise.

Happy weekend everyone!
