SITCOM IS FINISHED!!!

No, seriously. It is. Forever. I swear. I just have to sew in the ends, give it a wash, and possibly stitch on some ribbon (hey, commencement ceremony activity!)

See, I'm not lying! This is what it looked like before the yoke:


I measured how much it rolled. 4". I'm serious. It rolled 4" before the yoke.



After the yoke, I think it only rolls about 1" or 2". And the back is still popping up, but it's not as massively huge roll as it was in large. I did two more rows of K1P1 rib.



Pulled out all the way and that's what it looks like. Still some rolling, but when I wash & block it, it should relazx a bit more. Worst comes to worst, I sew ribbon on. Right. So that's mostly finished. Now I need to start Larissa's cat hat and get the rest of the purple for Des' other cat hat.

I picked up a Ralph Lauren Polo Sport messenger bag at the clothes swap in South the other day. Granted, someone had duct taped over the declaration on the front and one of the zipper pulls had come off, but it's still a sound bag. I was rummaging around it and pulled out a handful of ink cartridges, went huh, and put them in the free for all box. Then I realized the inner pocket was still full. I reached in and pulled out a handful of tampons and just started laughing for about five minutes. In the end, I think whoever owned it had put an entire box in there. Very amusing.

I need to do laundry. Off I go!
