Not Enough Hours In The Day

Rebecca is coming along nicely.  We haven't had any major disagreements lately so I'm hopeful that all is well on that front.  It seems like it's taking me forever to make progress, but I guess I'm not in a big hurry.  I'm just impatient.  Other knitalong members are finishing their sweaters and I want mine finished too.  Oh well, all in good time.

I finished my first pair of socks on the way to Phoenix.  They turned out nicely, but I'm not sure I'm crazy about the toe.  I think I want to try a different version on the next pair.  These are on their way to Stacy and should be in her hot little hands today - assuming she remembers to go to the mail box.  She promised to take a picture of them on her feet and e-mail it to me.  I'll pass that along as soon as I see it.  This is the yarn I bought in Phoenix for my next sock project.  It's Lorna's Lace and pretty I think.  Should be a fun project, but when oh when will I find the time to get everything finished?  Just not enough knitting hours in the day!

After Rebecca I plan to start the Phildar zip cardigan.  I'm hopeful that the yarn I got will work, but it may not and then I'll have to find something else.  I need to get the magazine first, I e-mailed Knit 'n Tyme yesterday and asked what the expected shipping time was so I know when to expect it.  Dang it, I wish it'd hurry up.  I want to see it.  There's that impatience again.  :)  Anyway, here's the Jo Sharp I purchased.  What do you think?It's kind of a raspberry color - a blue red I would say. 

I'm still struggling with the kitchen paint color.  Now I'm thinking that the Celery and Celadon may not be right for the rustic look I'm trying to create and have gone back to the drawing board.  Hopefully some of my HGTV pals will be able to help me today so I can order the paint and pick it up on Friday.  Nothin' like doing things at the last minute!
