So I totally forgot to mention that last Friday (two Fridays ago), we went to see Wallace Shawn perform his one-man show The Fever. Beforehand there was a champagne reception in which everyone got a glass of champagne and you could say "hi" to Mr. Shawn if you were brave enough. We didn't say "hi," but he was standing right next to me for a few minutes, and all I could think was "I'm taller than him!" (Though only by like an inch or so). The show was really awesome and if you are in NYC in the next week, you should totally try to catch it before it ends. Afterwards, Kevin went up to him and congratulated him on a great show, and I got to shake his hand, and still all I could think was "I'm taller!" (which I guess is better than just thinking "inconceivable!!").
The top-down Blue Sky Alpaca Cotton cardigan is zipping along (and needs a better shorter name). This picture is from a few hours ago when I finished the second skein (the fronts are curling under a bit here). I'm adding some shaping to the body, and so far my calculations seem perfect. The fit is amazing and I'm so excited about this cardi that I can't put it down.

You are cooking with gas, girlfriend. The fit looks great! Seeing yours progress motivated me to pick up my cardi to make some progress on it this weekend and after putting it down for 2 weeks, that was a good thing for me.

LOL - when I saw the photo, before I read your entry - Inconceivable popped into my head! It would be neat to see him out of that role.
The cardy looks wonderful! Is this going to be a pattern you wrote? The fit is amazing!

Your cardigan looks great! That's exactly the kind of thing I dream of knitting (and keep looking for patterns for). Guess I just need to get a book instead.
That show looks like fun.
