My first finished Trellis! I loved knitting this sweater. I thought it would be tough, but the cables proved to be quite fun and easy.

I also adore the little clear plastic rose buttons that I got for it. They might be a bit much for the busy cable pattern, but I still think they are fun.

I started on the second one (for the smaller baby) just before the bug incident, and haven't had a chance to work on it since. Unfortunately, I was aiming to gift both sweaters this weekend when I go to visit my friends and meet the new baby! I'm sure they'll understand if they only get one now and the other comes in the mail later... it is still stinking hot summer, after all.

I also knit this cupcake from One-Skein at the very last minute this week before my friend's birthday celebration. I haven't known him long, but I knew he would appreciate the knitted confection especially since he has a lot of allergies that limit him from eating any real cake. It went over VERY well and I'm happy that I put the time into it. It turned out great!

The apartment is back to "normal" and super clean. It is easy to keep meticulously clean with the memories of all those bugs so fresh in my memory. Still, I've been taking every opportunity to get out of here and go have fun with friends. I think this summer has been th best one yet! Who knows when I'll actually want to hang out at home and have time to knit again...
