Lunch at Bier Platz

I ordered steak (costita) and ended up with a pork steak at this place.  It didn't say "du porc"!  Anyway, the atmosphere in this place is very Octoberfest.  It's even underground and is two huge wooden halls.  Of course, they have a lot of beer.  When we were there in mid-afternoon, 90% of the customers were just there for beer.

Down the Spearpoint

I have three of five parts at least partially filled on this piece.  I say partially because I need to go back through with floche and add in another motif in the big part.

Baby Boom

There is currently a baby boom at the embassy, both among the locals and the Americans.  Threee American spouses are pregnant, out of perhaps twenty-five.  Within the past six months, I know of three babies born among the local staff.  The latest was born last Wednesday, in Andreas' section.  I made this afghan for her.

Dinner at Mykonos

Mykonos is the Greek restaurant in the mall.  It's not great, but it's not bad, and it's not really overpriced.  As usual, I started with soup and Andreas started with Greek salad.  We had some taziki and our main courses, too.  This was a dinner out with several others.  They went bowling; we went to see Christmas lights!

Ten Done

Ten motifs done, and started on the eleventh.  I like some of them better than others.  It's easy to feel progress with this project, though.

Next Time

I've gotten farther along the road to getting this done.  Next time, I will probably work to just get this done.  It's been pretty easy to do.

Broke Down

After months of being on a yarn diet and only using what I have around the house, I broke down and bought two skeins of Alize.  It was the colors that made me do it!  Besides, this is my absolute favorite yarn to work with.
