99 Balls of Primo on the Wall...

Take one down... knit it up with a cable needle... 98 balls of Primo on the wall... and a few more inches of sleeve on the arm of the sofa. 28 more rows of sleeve-age gives you a much better idea of how my increases are working out. I think the bar increase on the wrong side is working just fine. And it's probably a bad idea to change it at this point:

Anyhow, this is what the sleeve looks like so far. I mis-cabled twice and had to tink back a few stitches, but nothing as extreme as the frogging of a couple nights ago, thankfully.

The part of the day which wasn't spent sitting on the couch playing with blue yarn was spent at dinner with a friend of mine who's moving to Canada at the end of July, and then at the ballet. "Romeo and Juliet." Unfortunately, even though I didn't even drink that much water with dinner, I developed a sudden, massive need to go to the bathroom during the ballet. I had to get up and excuse myself. And wouldn't you know it, I missed the *^&%ing balcony scene, which is evidently the most beautiful part of the @&%*#ing ballet? I thought about just coming home and working on the cables, but I decided to stay for the rest of the ballet anyhow, and I'm glad I did. The guy who played Tybalt (I think it was Tybalt) was incredible... And I got a few rows of cable-y sleeve-y goodness done anyhow.

PS: Is this not the strangest and yet somehow most delicious thing you've ever seen?
