Star Trek ReRuns, our creative juices started flowing.
Gary harvested his garden, and canned (!) a batch of salsa.
I finished the ruffle edge of my shawl, which involved a good chick flick and purl 2 together bind-off of 1200 stitches. Then washed, and blocked it. THAT'S where the real magic happens! Here is my version of a photo-journal of the happy event:
Binding off the last few stitches.
Letting it rest over night.
Hand wash cycle, with Woolite. Might as well wash the Preachin' Sox at the same time!
Blocking tools: puzzle pieces, lace wires, t-pins.
Took about 90 minutes to weave the lace wires through EVERY edge stitch - a worthwhile investment of time.

All that's left to do is weave in the ends. Tonight!
