Leaving....

I have a short list of things to do before I leave town.... 

Towels are hemmed and the hat is done. I've started the Age of Aquarius Poncho, from a pattern we got at the Portland Retreat, and Scotland vacation yarn; that'll be my travel project.

I never got around to writing about the sweater class I took in Ashland. The shoulders are really the trick of this sweater.  The shoulders look like set in sleeves but the knitting is easy like raglan sleeves. The front looks like this.

The sleeve is supposed to sit more naturally on the shoulder, which is the point of the tailoring. I was unable to talk the cats into modeling, and there are no babies in my life at this point, so I can't show it on a warm body...

I also cooked for the freezer to assuage my guilt from leaving DH on his own for T-day. I made some sausage and lentil soup, and these baked beans, but in the slow cooker; I added a little garlic and mustard.  Definately make these beans again. I think I'll do them in the oven next time, it'll warm up the house and make the consistency of the beans a little different.

Travelogue to commence shortly :)
