My solar pump is here!
My solar pump is here. I don't have a watergarden figured out yet, so I just spent my lunch setting it up in a mixing bowl on the patio. This thing is tiny, but powerful. The pump itself is about 1.5" by 2.3" and shoots water about 14 or 15 inches high. The solar panel and battery are hidden in a fake rock and it's little too, about the size of a head of lettuce.
In knitting news, I frogged the whole dress back to nothing. It looked great till I held it up to myself- it was a little too peekaboo for my own personal comfort level to wear it out of the house. The size 11 needles left just a touch too much space between stitches, and since it is a loosey goosey-kind of fabric anyway we're not talking just visble panty lines here, we're talking visible panties. I am going to re-work it on size 10.5 and see how that goes. I think it will be just right, based on the swatch I worked up. If not, no big deal, I'll rip it out and start again with a 10. This is really a fast knitting yarn. And now that I am going with the 10.5 or smaller, I can launch this on my Inox Express circulars and knit at rocket speed. Watch out for the sonic boom, girls!
Oh, I just had some really exciting news about a work project. I won't bore you with the details, but I'm jumping for joy, and I just had to tell the world how happy I am. I hope everyone's day is as good as mine, and here's a big shout out to my Secret Pal who left me a comment yesterday!

I knit a sweater in Linen Print and it's definitely something I have to wear a tank under. You've got guts to attempt the dress. It's gorgeous but *short*. SP
Your awfully cheery for someone who just ripped a whole back of a dress out! I'll wait for the sonic booma & just say...aw, that's just Miss Kackie C, knitting her little dress up.
