During the removal of the cabinets, Paul decided he was curious to see what type of insulation (if any) was between the inside wall and the outside wall. He discovered there was insulation (which was a surprise). However it was comprised of cardboard and tar (which was also a surprise). I bet you can only imagine what Paul wants to do first before we do anything else.
Sunday morning I shunned grubby house stuff and met up with Sophie to do a little damage to our wallets. I bought a slew of books - a few which were back ordered so they couldn't be photographed.
In addition to the books I bought 10 balls of Jo Sharp's SoHo Summer DK Cotton for the cute a-line top from Jo Sharp's Saturday book. I actually swatched last night and it's pretty close to spot on.
(I have more Jo Sharp yarn that I bought about 6 months ago and I think I'm going to do the Bianca's Jacket from Interweave Knits Fall 2006. I still need to swatch though. I guess these will be the projects that will take up most of my time for now. Next I will need to cast on the Hand Maiden Sea Silk for a wrap I promised a friend. But really this is just a side not to myself)
Sunday afternoon I couldn't avoid helping out any longer. I donned safety goggles and a face mask and wielded a hammer and crowbar to start removing the walls in the kitchen. I have to admit I like throwing around a hammer especially when it comes to destruction. I had most of the nasty-assed tiles removed and a nice size hole started before we decided we had to set up a temporary kitchen in the basement. I can see the fun has only just started.

holey madness!
diggin' the pink clapi scarf - go-jass!
sounds like Jo Sharp's your new bf!
Thanks, lady!
Jo is totally my BFF. Hee!
Awesome scarf! The unselfish knitter!! Such intricate work for charity... again, I would've just doubled up the yarn and used 9mm needles. :P
Great purchases, gorgeous scarf!
That is going to be one great looking kitchen. And it IS one great looking scarf! Congrats on both!
Thanks, everybody!
The Clappy Scarf IS growing on me. I hope I can donate it on Wednesday at the DKC meeting. I hope I don't decide to claim if for myself. I *am* such a selfish knitter!
