Yes, there is knitting content - finally! Does anyone else feel like all knitting projects are going in slow motion while the rest of your life is speeding up?

'scuse me - you've got a little somethin' on your foot

As a favor for Bonez (a kiss up, er .. favor to his boss), I knit this Rio cozy in boss' preference: UNC Tarheels. No, I don't know (or wanna know) what or why they are the tarheels. I just knit what I'm told* and go on.

* No, I don't really do what I'm told, knitting or otherwise. And Matt was v. humble when asking if I would knit this for his boss-man. It's a quick knit and I had the right colored yarn, so it wasn't a big deal. But hopefully it'll make Mr. Boss happy, and in turn make a happy Bonez. That would be good.

cozying up to our CDs

The specs for this project are as follows:

• It's for the Rio Karma, which measures 3" x 2.7" x .9"
• Univ. of North Carolina's colors are sky blue and white, with navy and gray accents
• I used Katia Diana in denim blue (dark color) and baby blue for the body of the cozy (same used for these baby sweaters)
• The duplicate-stitch foot was made with Da Vimar Merino's Dodici in gray and outlined this with navy embroidery floss
a relaxing soak
• All the yarn used was left-overs from previous projects or already in my stash
• The pattern was made up in my own head, and because I didn't plan it out well it was much harder to actually work than necessary
• But it looks good!
• I used Velcro for the closure
• I blocked it on a mini book, which was still a bit too big
• The Music for Gracious Living CD is Bonez's (couldn't you guess), and is one of the funnier CDs, both music-wise and for the cover

that'll get your attention!

That's about it. Matty takes it into to work today, so I'll get boss feedback tonight when I get home from my full and fun day: haircut, grocery shopping, and then dinner and knittin' with my gal pals. (Yay!)
