Last weekend, we went to see Marshall play WVU.

We tailgated at The Joan for a couple of hours before the game.

Marshall played toe to toe with WVU for 3 quarters and then the defense just wore out.  It was a fun time though, with very little idiocy from the WVU fans.  Best t-shirt of the day: "Beat WVU!" (front) "And the couch burnin’ hillbillies they brought with them!" (back).  Second best t-shirt:  "Coal Sucks!  Keep West Virginia Green!"   The game is sponsored by Friends of Coal so that t-shirt got some big laughs.

Monday night was Bengals night!

He looks happy there, but by gametime he was a cranky man.  He finally fell asleep towards the end of the game so we had to be calm and quiet when the Bengals won. 

I have been knitting.  I have my gauge swatch done for my Nina sweater.  I’m still working on Pomatomus.  I have turned the heel and am working the gusset on the first sock.  This is a slow moving project.  So fiddly.  Especially when I had to unknit 2 rounds because I cannot follow directions.

I do have something finished to show.  A Warshrag!

This is the ever-so-common (and popular) dishcloth pattern from Mason-Dixon Knitting.  I knit it with Lily Sugar n’ Cream cotton yarn (ugh!).  I knocked it out in a day, just knitting here and there when Liam was asleep or playing happily.  As you can see, the navy yarn bled onto the cream, but it’s a dishrag so who really cares?

Yesterday and today, there is a hint of fall in the air.  I bought a new teakettle this afternoon so I’m going to fix a cup of tea this evening.  I love this weather!  Please, no more hot days!
