Weekend ExcitementI know I said I was going to finish the mittens. I PROMISED I was going to finish the mittens. What did I do? You guessed it- COMPLETELY ignored the mittens. Instead, I did this:
I made it approximately 12% longer than necessary.... because each of the cabled swatches that I washed shrunk lenghtwise by about 12%. Hopefully the sweater will follow suite, and this will fit me! ;) I cast on for the right front- I wanted to make sure I got that finished before I forgot what I did with the left front (although I wrote it down, but, well, you know...) Then i think I'll do the sleeves (in the round, on DPNs) just for a change of pace. Then comes the back. :) There was some other very exciting news this weekend- first, one of the women I work with at the store on weekends crochets... so we had several lovely conversations about yarn etc..., and I showed her the aran cardi. :) So that's fun, to have another yarn-lover around at work! I'm trying to get her to come to the knitting group I go to, but she has 3 small boys at home, so I'm not sure if she would have the time. I'll print something out for her for the next meeting though, just in case. The second exciting thing this weekend involves me, and a plane ticket- after talking for about 2 hours with my friend J, who just moved to New Mexico for grad school, I decided I really had to come and visit her. So I'll be buying the plane ticket in a few hours, just as soon as it gets late enough in New Mexico for me to give her a call to double check the dates and everything. I am SO excited- I love spur-of-the-moment vacation decisions like that. And since I'll be going in October, it'll give something for BOTH of us to look forward to! :) Cricket was much more interested in the birdies than in the camera:
