Day 105: Blocking

I'm rushing to finish errands and chores before I drive home to my parents' house for the weekend. 

I soaked my Brand New Day Shawl yesterday afternoon and night and finally set it to block this morning!

I would have done so yesterday but I ended up spending the day with a friend from law school. He picked me up in the morning and then we drove to Santa Barbara for the day. Though cloudy, it was perfect walking-around-and-window-shopping weather. Sadly, I did not take any photos of State Street or the Pier. Mike did manage to snap a few shots when we stopped along the PCH on our drive back!

 We spotted dolphins (about 7 of them?), just swimming along. Less than 50 feet away from us.

I have to admit. I kinda love my life right now.

(Those are seashells and rocks in my hand, btw.)

Day 104: Waiting to be Blocked: Brand New Day Shawl

I finished the Brand New Day Shawl I started back in mid-May, immediately after Snow White's Breakup Shawlette. 

It's currently soaking in the sink, waiting to be blocked when I get home from a drive/lunch date with an old friend from law school. It's pretty gloomy here, weather-wise, so I'll wait until a sunny day to take pictures of it and the rest of the shawls I've knit for myself. 

I know that today is not the day for it, but I can't wait until I can spend hours at the beach doing this:

Yay for summer free from studying for the bar exam!
