And so it begins...

...well, it probably began several years ago, but for me, this weekend marked the beginning of something important...the banana pranks for the quilt be.  I received, in the mail, the wine stopper pictured below.

Didn't I do a nice job of posing this picture?  Wine glass, wine key and even the wine smear on the counter top.  Perfection.

And this weekend, I started on Banana Split.  I love this project.  It almost was destroyed as I didn't realize that the kitten got in there and was napping on the warp chain.  I'm so glad that's all she decided to do because she could have had a hey-day with the warp and try to run all over the house with it...

I also learned a little bit about reading a knitting pattern.  The mistake that I made means that I have to rip out an entire afternoon/evening's worth of knitting.  That's a bummer, but I bet I don't make that mistake again!
