It was a pretty busy, crappy weekend, mostly filled with car-related issues... definitely not my favourite way to spend the weekend. Dave finally got his car back (which is nice because now I don't have to pick him up and drive him home... I love him, but I certainly won't miss being chauffeur.. I need a boyfriend who lives less than 80 km away)
His car is running good (new engine) but not perfect, so Saturday morning was spent wandering around a scrap yard .... definitely not my favourite way to spend a Saturday morning.... especially when I managed to try to ram a piece of re-bar through my foot while wandering through row upon row of wrecked GMs.I ended up with a nice sore purple bruise from my trouble. Lesson learned -- wear appropriate footwear to the scrap yard.. skirts are okay, but full foot coverage is a must.
We did find the parts he needed and hopefully the problem is resolved. He also took the time to do a much-needed tune-up on my car, so she's running a little happier.
I was also sick this weekend (no it's not the swine flu) which added to my general misery. However, I did manage to knit up a little bonnet to go with my Baby Janes.
It's the Lace Baby Bonnet by Heidi Sunday. It's a nice little pattern, though if I were to do it again, I would adjust the pattern for smaller needles.... 4mm is just too loose. I also added an eyelet band to the bottom. The lace pattern is nice an easy, and it may just end up in one of my designs one day.Speaking of designs, I have one just about ready to come off the needles, so hopefully you'll see it in a week or two.

Oh, that's no fun! Both the being sick, and the auto stuff -- car difficulties always make me cranky. I hope Monday is going better :)
I hope this week is better.
My husband gets that having to go anywhere car-related is for me like having to go to a yarn shop is for him. Mostly I get to stay home. :)
