Hello! I recently stumbled across Monday Mingle and I think it’s pretty fabulous, so I’m going to start doing it. So. Here goes.
Current questions {week of 3/7/11}:
1. Where do you think you’ll be/what you’ll be doing in 10 years?
With any luck, I will be a Stay-at-Home Knitter in 10 years. 🙂
2. You are ordering a hamburger at a restaurant (or veggie burger – how do you have it cooked, what type of cheese and what else goes on it?
I love a classic cheeseburger. I keep it pretty simple. Cook it Medium Rare, slap a couple slices of sharp cheddar on it and top it off with pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Richard has a polar opposite view of cheeseburgers (and his food in general). He’s always trying to optimize his meals. Because of this, we like to go to The Counter in Lincoln Park. This restaurant has fabulous fresh food and Richard can build the most insane burger he can think of while I enjoy my usual.
3. What are the current gas prices like where you live?
I just bought gas for $3.89. It was painful. I really hope Bill Gates gets this Uranium 99 thing figured out soon.
Feel free to leave your answers to these questions in the comments. Also, make sure you stop by the other Monday Minglers and show them some love!
Tunics are the perfect knitting project for spring. 🙂
To make this a little more interesting (and fair) I have removed the designer’s names from the descriptions this week. They are still linked to the designers’ project pages, but try not to peek until after you vote. 🙂
1. Bring your favorite bottle of wine and let’s knit! I’m currently working on the Aran Afghan.
2. I only like to shop online at stores where shipping costs are included.
3. This portable indoor fireplace is exactly perfect for my living room. So cool!
4. Well, you see, I plan to start exercising again on Monday. This weekend is overbooked.
5. Spring will be here soon! Time to start knitting lace scarves like this one:
6. But what if I can’t finish the afghan before Mom’s birthday? 😦
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to getting some work done, tomorrow my plans include knitting and cleaning the house and Sunday, I want to see Chelsey!

Have you ever had this happen to you? You’re walking along and a stranger passes by with the most delicious knit item you’ve ever seen. It steals your heart and you wish, more than anything, that it was yours. But. Before you even have a chance to snap a photo or sketch it out, the stranger, and your dream knit, have walked out of reach…
I was walking through Navy Pier today when I spotted a girl wearing a gorgeous mohair cap. The cap was pale violet, and it had the most intriguing structured stitch pattern. It was truly love at first sight and I will be dreaming about this hat for weeks.
It was so beautiful that it inspired this week’s Knit Love theme. So. Here’s what I’m loving in the mohair category this week:
