domo arigato, mr. roboto

went to the beach this past weekend, for a much needed rest! I spent much of last week planning a surprise party for my guy. Basically, I replenished the liquor cabinet, made TWO marinades plus tons of veggies and meats to skewer, hummus, guacamole, and hid a cake (plus ALL the food) WITHOUT HIM HAVING A CLUE! And, in spite of 3 days notice, a bunch of people showed up. One came on the wrong day, sadly, all the way from baltimore, but at least he tried! Anyhow, that was exhausting, so the beach was great. 75 degrees, non-humid, non sweaty great!

And instead of knitting the three projects I brought along, I finished this little fella on a dish towel:

(from a pattern from jenny hart) Very fun!

And today, my goal is to finish Anouk.. I wove in the rest of the ends, at least. Just have to sew this patch on the front, and attach the side thingies and buttons. not so much, right?! Why is it dragging so much?!?
