Amazing Lace Challenge #1; The Team Photo
For those of us who do watch "The Amazing Race," we know there is ALWAYS a challenge involving the Travelocity gnome. For the team photo, my mom thought it would be cute to pose with her garden/fountain gnome and to use this gnome as my knitting buddha for the Amazing Lace Challenges. I tried to get the gnome to hold the Addi Tubos, but he wanted to be draped in the shawl in progress. My current teammate is the North Sea Shawl from Folk Shawls. I am knitting it in GORGEOUS doubled lilac zepyhr. So far so good; but I think other teammates will be joining Team Knitty D throughout the course of the summer including the Estonian Garden Shawl (for Grandma) and the Kimono Shawl (for mom). My dad is also involved--he made a label for my "Summer of Lace" binder. We are such dorks...
Another goal for this summer is to learn how to add buttons to my blog...
Today really felt like summer here on the Cape...it was very humid for much of the day. Around 6, the fog started rolling in with the sea breeze and we are having a delightfully cool Cape evening.
Okay, daddio and I just found the Phillies game on Direct TV; time for some quality father-daughter time; though he did just ask me if I wanted to watch Fly Fishing tomorrow; I hope he was joking.

I think the gnome has knit more on your Sea Shawl than I have on my Icarus -- working on something else . . . Koigu Koigu Koigu.
For some reason, I can't open the email you sent me - can you resend to pdwendy@msn.com - the title is certainly intriguing . . .
The Gnome Liberation Front is SO coming your way . . . Don't say I didn't warn you . . .
