I love weekends!

I love weekends. I think that song is dead on about working for the weekend! Happy Saturday!!!!

Today Besty, Nannies and I had a knitting kinda day. Betsy stayed over last night so we started our knitting kind of weekend Friday night. Actually it is a crochet kind of weekend for Betsy. She is going CRAZY on making squares for the Rebuilding Greensburg Project. I think she has made like 30 already.

Yesterday I came to the grim realization that I HATE this Mary Louis Lace Sweater. I guess I've really known it for years and that is why it has been in the works for years. Well I recently came to believe that I am on a finishing streak and that I can knit anything and finish it so I picked it up again. I've been working on the second sleeve for a couple weeks now and finished it last night. I then went upstairs to get the other sleeve that was knit about a year ago. WHOA! What a difference a year makes. Holy gauge difference. Well the whole freaking thing is getting frogged. I hate the stupid thing and will probably not work on it for another year so it's just going bye bye. I will stash the yarn away and some day it will find another purpose. Here is one last picture so we can all say bye before it goes away.

So on to my next knitting adventure for the weekend...

I realized earlier this week that I had a miscrossed cable on one of my Afghan squares. Well I had planned on fixing it Friday night but I did not feel I had enough brain power to do so so I successfully did that this morning. Here is my boo boo.

And here it is all fixed again!Yeah! Here's a little preview of this square. It has some killer cables in it and I am slow going on this one.

I also have started swatching for Chris' sweater. I made three (YES THREE) swatches for it and they are currently in the washing machine. I want to make sure that this sweater turns out since it is the first sweater that I will be making for someone else. Hopefully I will start actually knitting it this week.

Hey, BTW, If you are ever out and about and are looking for a really cool yarn shop check out the yarn garage in Rosemount, MN. WOW, I was curious as to what to expect from the website and it was awesome. The prices were great too! They had tons and tons of really interesting stuff. I will be back when I have some cash to blow. (now when will that ever be?) Anyways, today I was a good girl. I purchased some butterfly cotton yarn that I make the apple hats with and A 2nd Treasury Of Magical Knitting. I have had my eye on that book for awhile and now it is mine! Ah ha!

I've got to say that I am looking forward to the rest of my weekend. Then working Monday (not really looking forward to that part, but it pays the bills). Then when I come home Chris and Brownie should be home. Then I have Tuesday off and Wednesday! It's like a bonus weekend in the middle of the week!
