susandennisSee these Meat District fancy dancy hamburger patties?
I highly recommend that you do NOT fall for them like I did. They were $4 off and looked like they'd be great in my Dash grill and they would have been except they taste like oversalted cardboard!! That's $10 I'll never see again. :( Yeah I can get a refund if I take them back and I just might. They are that bad.
But, I finished my sweater and it's amazing. Well it still looks like candy corn (which, honestly, is tastier in a candy but whatever) but it feels wonderful. It's going to be a wonderful and soft delight to wrap up in next winter.
A lot of hand knit sweaters are made in pieces and require a bunch of after work. Sewing of seams, etc. This pattern is written so that it's knit all in one piece and when you get to the last stitch, you weave in that one single last bit of yarn and you are ready to wear. It's a very cool pattern. I did a bit of documentation on Ravelry.
I got a notice today that my license plate tabs need renewal or will by mid-August. I went ahead and did it today so I don't forget. The state has finally gotten it's license renewal online shit together making it pretty darned painless. And... it's $50 cheaper than last year!
I spent some quality time with my phone and I think I may have fixed it. My fingers are crossed.

But there is also variegated yarn which is just rather random color changes and you get what you get.
They don't sell yarn for sweater sizes but often people (not me) who are precious about where their colors land, do plan projects based on the yarn's variegation. Me, I just don't like solid colors!
