Here ya go Julia!

OK, so I am excited that people actually read my blog.  & I was even more excited when I received a COMMENT!

I finally finished the baby sweater.  2 balls of yarn & it only took me a few days.  This, my friends, is a miracle.  It's almost as miraculous as me completing a 10 mile run.  No wait, finishing this was way more difficult because it required me to sit down & actually knit it!


My next project (besides a pair of mittens that I started knitting for my oh so patient friend Sue 2 years ago) is a dress that I must finish before the 3rd of July.  Have to have a fancy party outfit for the fireworks!

Knitting

Yes, I do other things besides workout.  & if anyone has been following....I haven't been the best worker outer lately.  Last night I joined my friends for some much needed girl time & wine!  I went to the Wooly www.woolymonmouth.com to finish a baby sweater for a friend at work.  He just had a baby girl on last week.  Yay!  Girls are the best.

Sadly, in my wine induced knitting haze, I knit 1 sleeve, perfectly I may add - but realized that the other one was incorrect.  Not paying attention, I rip out what I think is the ill knitted sleeve.  Yeah......not the case.  As I look down at the yarn on the table & my lap - I see the poorly knitted sleeve staring back at me from the other pile of yarn on the other side of the table.  Crap!  Now I have to start both sleeves all over.  Oh well.  At least it was for a newborn & not for myself.  I might have strung myself up if that was the case.

Hopefully I will get the rest of the sweater finished before the weekend.  I'd like to present it to the proud papa next week!  Here it is in case you were wondering.  It's finished, but requires a bit more assembly.
