Vacation Re-Entry

Classes start on Monday, which means that my glorious at-home vacation is coming to an end. SIGH. As terrible as so much of student-life is (finals, cough cough, FINALS), you can't beat the time off.

Speaking of time off... here's some yarn-y pics from Ireland -





There were probably 20 of these huge stacks of yarn all lined up in the warehouse. Drool.








Back in the "real world," I've been doggy-sitting while S is at work. It's been a VERY tough life for these two...



and a few hours later...



In my next life, I'd like to come back as Abby or Cricket.

And FINALLY - apparently I've managed to spend a little of my time off knitting - Dad's Vest (The Beara Penninsula Vest) is ready for some edging - the steeks were cut while watching the finale of Season 1 of Project Runway on DVD. It seemed appropriate...



Wooo HOOOOO! Steeks!!!



I gave it a quick block so that it's all ready for the edgings...



... but then I promptly ignored it and moved back to Elizabeth I. I had finished the sleeves before Ireland, and finished the back last week... I'm hoping to finish the front around the beginning of school. We'll see....

Slainte!

This is what is currently sitting in my living room....



... which can only mean that it's vacation time again! In a few short minutes, I'll be attempting to survive the 8 minute 110+ degree walk to the metro, heading to the airport, and winging it to Ireland. I'm so excited! And yes, the Ireland Cardigan is safely packed!

But before I go, I finally took a picture of the finished Hand-Dyed Log Cabin blanket... I love the way it turned out, and I can't wait for Christmas to give it to my Grandma. I think it'll be the perfect size for her to drape over her lap on those chilly days. (Assuming, of course, that the temperature ever drops below "hotter than hell").



And the "mystery project" from last post? Erin nailed it - it's the start of the 2006 edition of my dad's Christmas Vest!



And one last note before I sweat to death head to the airport - Cricket wants to remind you that even when it's 110 degrees outside, rolling around on a sunny sidewalk is always a good idea!
