A Fair Start

i was a machine this weekend! i requested the whole thing off from work, which was super wonderful, and it was homecoming, which was fun, but most of all, the knitting!! the sweater is all the way into about an inch of fair isle on the body:

the fair isle part is hard to see because it curls over so much, but you can tell its there! i dont really like the first square too much either but, i can fix it later if i have to. so far, the fit is fine, but steeks start soon!

also, ive gone about two months without a tv. this was also remedied this weekend, which has significantly promoted vegetable knit time. yesterday, tlc had a what not to wear marathon... so good!

oh! and since im making a dolce and gabbana, i will make a comment on some D&G shoes i saw today. this dude was walking around in the chemistry building, dressed the same as any other college scrub.. fully decked out in sweats. but his feet! his gray sweat pants were tucked into these D&G snakeskin looking wrestling boots. his money for expensive shoes obviously stems from a lack of friends to spend money on, which in turn must contribute to his god-awful sense of style. i wish i had a picture. it was way bad.
