Chugging along on the sleeves, finally! I've had one of those weeks where you work your butt off all week (or at least it feels like it) and I've achieved very little. I've done bits and pieces of sewing, run around to lots of appointments and assemblies at school, and generally did lots of nothing all week. So yesterday afternoon I planted my butt on the new lounge and got moving on the sleeves.

I'm a bit over this sweater now, so I just want it done. Well, I don't know if I'm over the sweater or just itching to start something new.
Em has a dance comp this afternoon and all day tomorrow, but after much consideration, I've decided not to take the sleeves. Mainly becuase this is a pain to cart around.

Or maybe I'm just looking for excuses to start something new. I'm also vaguely worried that I'm going to run out of yarn. Both the pinks are running very low.
In any case, I've promised my family that the next things I start will be for them. Emily wants purple socks with fun fur cuffs.
The things we do for love.
David wants a scarf. And a Cthulhu.
So I'm taking this with me to the dance comp.

The lovely Wendy of Cat Knits sent me a copy of One Skein for my birthday, which will be perfect for using up those odd balls in my stash.
I'm going to knit this for David.

The yarn is Cascade 220 in 7920, and is a bit darker and greener than it looks in this picture.
Of course, whenever I take knitting to the dance comps, I never seem to get any done. There's also a great glove pattern in the book, and I have another skein of the 220, so he may also get a pair of gloves. Someday.

Twinkie is watching the world go by.

It's Worldwide Knit In Public day, maybe she's looking for knitters!
