Tunic #1 Finished, & More
Just finished the first tunic, and it came out surprisingly well, as even Mr. E says! Not perfect, but considering my lack of practice and the do-it-yourself pattern, I’m pretty happy with it. I may make the next one open down the front instead of a pullover (may decide to change this one, too), since it’s not stretch material. I really prefer pullovers, but maybe if I use Velcro instead of buttons, I won’t get that embarrassing gape over the breasts when I move.
On other things, we went out to the field, but I couldn’t fly, since all my battery packs are shot. Mr. E got a few flights in, though, and I tatted up a new (well, modified, anyway) bookmark pattern. Other than that, it’s been a rather quiet Sunday, except for dodging 9/11 specials on TV.
Now don’t get me wrong; I’m quite aware of what 9/11 meant, and still means, to the country, and I plan to watch a movie tomorrow that Mr. E taped about a week ago just to stoke my ire back up. But — I have no intention of watching a week or more of retrospectives, specials, politicians, and whatever else the networks and cable channels decide to put on just because it’s the fifth anniversary. I’ve been through that entirely too many times, for various other anniversaries, to go through it if I can find an alternative. Ah, well, I’ll survive another one, I suppose.
