I Might be Knitting a Tyvek House

1.  work on the house continues.  thursday, j rented a jackhammer and pulverized our side and front steps so that getting into and out of the house is precarious at best.  unfortunately, j did not announce that he was going to rent a jackhammer and do the work yesterday so i don't have a picture.  j likes to play with crazy ass tools, the bigger the better.  but he did not enjoy working with the jackhammer. 

his advice to everyone is, "don't fuck around with a guy who works jackhammers for a living."  something about guys being strong enough to whip those things around are strong enough to tie you into a pretzel.

noted.

this is what the house looks like right now.

the new windows are finally installed.  yay!  and accent brick has been chosen and priced. we need siding.  that would be nice. oh and steps. 

2.  class is good, i'm pleased with how much i remember.  i've postponed taking the literacy exam to november 17th.  having to take in october was making me twitchy.  too much fun stuff going on in october.

3.  many of you begged to know about my super secret crafty project.  it's really nothing special.  but i do want to keep it on the down low for a bit.  you'll know soon enough.

4.  a crafty project that i can let you see although there's not much to see, is my latest sock. 

i'm knitting this with knitpicks essential in meadow.  to break up the colors a bit i'm knitting this up using a basket weave slip stitch.  i call them "dishrag" socks because of the stitch similarity with the MDK dishrag.   

5.  and i haven't posted a Eye Candy Friday photo in a while.  here you go.  Fall's coming!
