Em decided to celebrate by burning toast and setting off the smoke alarm to wake me up. Only five weeks and four days to go until school goes back!<br \/>\nIn knitting news, I started and finished Twinkletoes.<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/100_13791.html\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/100_13791.html','popup','width=950,height=713,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/100_1379-thumb.jpg\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nThey don&#8217;t look like much in that picture, do they?<br \/>\nBut they look <em>much<\/em> prettier on!<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/100_1391.html\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/100_1391.html','popup','width=950,height=740,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/100_1391-thumb.jpg\" width=\"420\" height=\"327\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/100_1392.html\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/100_1392.html','popup','width=950,height=713,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/100_1392-thumb.jpg\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nThey&#8217;re a great knit. I knit them to gauge, and if I knit them again, I&#8217;d probably knit them a little tighter. The calmer has a nice stretch to it anyway, but they&#8217;re a little floppy for my taste. Em loves them though.<br \/>\nShe went to a costume party last night, as a Fairy Princess.<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/100_1394.html\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/100_1394.html','popup','width=575,height=850,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/100_1394-thumb.jpg\" width=\"270\" height=\"400\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nAnd she would have worn the Twinkletoes if I&#8217;d let her &#8211; fortunately I didn&#8217;t as the party was out in the unfinished back yard.

If only I had half of her social life!<br \/>\nThen again, I&#8217;d probably just be tired.<br \/>\nThe Lace Panel Sweater is inching along in it&#8217;s progress.

I&#8217;ve almost finished the eighth pattern repeat. If I was using Zephyr, I&#8217;d be almost done! But I&#8217;m using a finer yarn, and i really think it&#8217;s too small, and I still have plenty of yarn, so I&#8217;m going to resist the temptation to cast off and keep going for at least one more repeat. Two if I can stand it. I&#8217;m at 792 stitches right now.
