Vint-a-hoot

My friend from grad school in Vermillion, who now lives in Rapid City, was in town and stayed with us last night.  Today we woke up, hung around talking, and went out to lunch.  We went to a little local Italian place, and then we looked around in some of the boutiques and shops near the restaurant.


We drove by Pier 1 and decided to stop by.  Neither of us had been there in a long time.  Luckily, they had recently added this little retro repro owl jar, in two sizes.  I got the small size, which is still a nice size for a cookie jar.  Five jars on the counter now...

Penelope the Unnecessary

I decided to convert Penelope the scarf into a hat, knitted in-the-round.  It's the same hat as usual with a neat bobble design, which happens to match my Penelope scarf.  It was a small project, and the grey lining was already knit (for a hat I started 2 years ago, although I didn't get much further than the lining).  This hat knit up in under three days, just in time for nothing, as I don't anticipate needing a hat for quite a while.
