Well I got to the i-cord part of the cardi and really hated it, hated how it was knit and attached. So I opted to pick up stitches the whole way around and create a nice little seed stitch band. I like how it knit up acually, I only wish I had planned ahead because I had to do a little clean up at the bottom because the bottom wasn't cast off yet. Kinda messy but I only started around 7pm and finished the whole band, cast off, sewed in all the color changes that had the yarn hanging out and then started a sleeve.

So my Tulip sweater will look a little different from the rest, but that's perfectly okay with me. I think I even like it better. I've never liked i-cord, knitting it or how it looks. I like braids, braids are always pretty for ties etc.

We spent the day putting together more furniture and not much else. The day went by far faster then I would have liked but hey only two more days until the weekend! We stood outside once it got dark and could hear fireworks in all directions. We don't live very far from a lake so we could see some of the big ones going off above it. Next 4th of July I'm going to have a BEER! So it was a very non-eventful holiday for us, and we enjoyed staying in away from the crazy drunk drivers and loads of police officers. The last speeding ticket I got was on the 4th of July actually, I was on my way home from a agility dog show at the park of all things. It's nearly midnight now, off to bed!
