It's Done!!

The Casual Cable Cardigan is on the floor right behind me blocking! So I have hit the goal of having a sweater completed by Thanksgiving. I'm still on the mission to complete another one before Christmas. I'd take a picture to share with all but I still can't download. That's on hubby's to do list for this weekend. Find out why.

I had a great weekend in Olympia. Sarah is a natural knitter. She picked up casting on with one demonstration. Within an hour she was knitting and purling. Sarah is also a very unnatural knitter. She claimed that she liked doing the bumpy things (purling) better than the V's (knitting). My response was, "always knew that you danced to your own little tune." We went to Canvas Works in Olympia. I wasn't too impressed. But I was on a mission to obtain a bamboo subsitute for the Henley Perfected from the Winter 07 Interweave Knits. We also went to Shipwreck Beads. Shipwreck is to be the world's largest bead store. We spent two hours picking out charms and beads for Wine glass markers for Christmas presents. To look at everything in the store would of taken a month of Sunday's.

I'm out of time. The duties of helping hubby unload his extra groceries from hunting camp calls me. Or should I put it this way.... I need to put the stuff away or otherwise I won't know what's there to be used up and will stop on the way home from work and buy it. Have a great day! I'm off to inventory.

I want to knit Henley perfected too, but I've so many UFOs floating around and so many gifts to make that it will probably have to wait until after Christmas. Glad you had fun in Olympia. Can't wait to see pictures of your sweater when it's done blocking.
