Joe came back from Cleveland last night, and today we're heading over to a coworker's house for a surprise party for another coworker's wife who just got her degree and is going to be a teacher. Yay, Tina! Made a couple of batches of whipass cornbread (bacon, fresh corn, poblanos, jalapenos, cheddar, and hot monterey jack) and a marinated veggie salad, and hopefully we'll be able to enjoy the pool before it starts to rain.
I'm frantically working on Tubey, because I have to get it done by October, and September will be devoted to a sock-a-long. Here's what I've got so far:
Done with the back "tube" and almost finished with the striping of one sleeve. After reading a lot of blogs and KALs about the inevitable problem of large sleeves, I decided to do some mild decreasing down the arm. I'm a big gal, with big shoulders, but my arms are rather skinny. So we'll see how this turns out. You can see the decreases a little bit above, moreso below.
I really love the colors - magenta and orange from Sea Colors and the blue is from Sheepy Valley. I think it'll be nice and cozy in the fall come Sheep and Wool.I'd best go take a shower and get going with my day. Hope you have a lovely weekend!

The colors look great! Hurrah, Tubey!!
And that cornbread? Give you a dollar and a pinch on the bottom if you make some in October! There aren't many things I love more than good cornbread.
Joe might not appreciate it if I offered the pinch on the bottom, but what would it take to at least get the recipe for the cornbread? I bet it would go well with my Brunswick stew.
