Loopy Academy

I’ve finished the first stitch pattern for my Standing Stones Cowl (AKA Loopy Academy project 1) and started the second stitch pattern.  If you look really closely, you can see the beginnings of diagonal lines of lace at the bottom edge, right above the needles.  If you can’t really see it yet, hang in there, I’m going to knit more of it - you can see it later!

In bricking news, we had workers here Saturday and Sunday this weekend, working 12 hour days, and they’re almost through with the bricks!  I think (maybe) they’ll be finished with the bricks today. Then it’s going to take them a week to clean up.  The amount of brick dust, sand, and mortar that are all over the outside of our house is crazy.  I don’t even want to talk about how much I’ve cleaned up inside the house.  I have hopes that we’re almost through with this adventure though.  I think we’re going to get there soon!
