Been knitting feverishly on the alpaca boucle jacket sample. Have the fronts, back and sleeve sections done, and am about to join the shoulders / sleeves, then do the front edging.

I spent an inordinate amount of time yesterday, as well, searching for colored frogs, oriental frog closures that is! I want them in a bluish teal or purple, preferable the blue to stand out against the black border, but only found 1 site that has them. They are much too inexpensive on that site, which makes me wonder about their quality. No closures = no photos done = can't get the pattern out.

Does anyone know of an online source for frogs in other than the usual black or white??? If you do, please email me! The right closures can make a garment's appeal, the wrong ones just leave it wanting.

We've had plenty of rain lately, so I needn't water the veggie garden - good thing - am too busy as it is. The peas are still going strong, the Ronde de Nice zucchini are finally picking up speed and the tomatoes are growing by leaps and bounds.

Wish I had more to write, but pattern and chart checking, pattern writing and knitting await me, as well as laundry, dishes and vacuuming! No time like the present....
