Extravayarnza

Well, as you might remember I got caught in some cold rain on Monday. This allowed the mild cold I'd been fighting to become a full fledged illness...
Unfortunately, when you run your own business (and when 80% of your fall yarn shipment had shown up in the last two days) you don't get to take sick days. So, thank you to everyone who stopped by the store. I really hope that I didn't get any of you sick.
Right now I'm feeling like I need one more good nights sleep to really feel well again.

However, I looked at my schedule & decided I could afford to miss a day of school. So after work it was off to home & crashing on the couch. Plus lots of knitting (I hadn't knit in about 4 days...) & 5 or 6 hours straight of Myth Busters.

So, what did I learn on my day off school?

If you really have to jump off a building try to find one with awnings to land on.
A stick of dynamite will clean the build up off the inside of a cement truck.
You can't cut a sword in half with another sword.
DC current & salsa will allow you to break out of jail in about 6 weeks.
There is no such thing as a visible laser security system, they use infrared & are darn had to foil.
It's way easier to conceal an ejection seat in a car than it should be.
A car may be able to jump 175 feet, but neither car nor driver will enjoy the landing.

It takes about a minute and a half to return this~

Back into a ball

And most of the evening to knit this much on design v. 6.0

This was a bit of a design challenge for me. The color that arrived was basically the color I least worked with my original design. My plan was for an entrelac hat, I finally scrapped that tonight because it need to have this finished in about 7 days & have hated every single incarnation of the entrelac design...

I will be giving the entrelac a second life as a beret out of silk garden lite.
