Capris: I really like these for the summer, even though short people like me (5′4″) are made even shorter-looking because instead of hitting just above my ankles, they usually hit me somewhere at or below the ankles, and sometimes I look like I’m wearing high-wadders instead of cutesy/hip fashion. (That is a REALLY big run-on sentence, I know.) All that aside, I bought a pair of khaki stretch capris yesterday from Old Navy that are pretty cute and comfy. Plus, I had a coupon, yay!

Wool: Because we’re on the cusp of summer and what do I get a hankering to knit? A scarf! Not any scarf, a WOOL scarf! hahaha. What a dork. I’m making a My So-Called Scarf using Patons SWS in Natural Plum. I’ve heard good things about this yarn, and I don’t want to give it a premature review until I’ve worked with it more, but I have noticed that this yarn does not frog well at all! I got distracted and had to rip out my progress, and the yarn has a tendency to felt really, really easily. But I bet it’s a dream when you want to felt on purpose!

Emails That Make Me Look Stupid: I have this tendency at my new job to write emails that make me look stupid. Usually I hit “send” before realizing what someone was really asking, so then I have to send another email apologizing for misunderstanding and then either give them the actual answer, or refer to them to my boss because I’m still so new that I don’t know a lot of the answers yet. ugh! Most people are really understanding, but today, this lady at one of the companies we work with got rather uppity with me–in an email, which comes across as pretty harsh–so my boss is still trying to figure out what’s up with her. Luckily and thankfully, he took my side when I showed that I was in the right (it’s a long story!), but still. I hate when people act rude in emails, it’s just…rude. lol

I’m off to knit with more felty wool and wait for tonight’s season finale of Lost! It had better be good.
