Rescued
I was finally rescued from sleeve island late Saturday night. The Kimono Sweater saw some serious knitting action this weekend and I am happy to report that I am rapidly approaching the finish line.
I hope that I can finish the knitting tomorrow so then I can get it blocked and seamed before the weekend (because, as you all know, I'm behind on this project). As soon as this sweater is done, I'm on to some socks with a couple of wedding squares and some Butterfly thrown in to keep life interesting. Maybe some Jaywalkers (yes, I know I really am the last person on the planet to knit these lovely socks) or maybe some lovely cabled socks. I saw a great Nancy Bush pattern in the Fall Vogue Knitting. I was drooling - that woman is a genius. Then there are the knee socks sweeping blogland. I have plans for some of those too. So many socks, so much cold weather. I can't wait.
I had a nice weekend, even though "fall" showed herself with snow and freezing temperatures. I worked at the yarn store on Saturday and had a great day. I just love knitters who are excited about their next projects. Yesterday was some knitting and some flyball - Riley had a great time ... again. I can't believe it's already Monday. The weekends just go too fast. But, I think this will be a good week.

Finishing projects feels so great. Hope you gets yours done like you want.

Sounds like you had a very productive weekend, and your to-do list is looking a lot like mine!
I emptied out my breath-saver container this weekend to use for my t-pins. And I still have my sours container for something else, so exciting.
Okay, maybe I just need to find excitement an unexciting places.

Ahh... isn't the feeling of finishing a large project so relieving? Especially after the major stress I usually feel right before finishing it (blocking, seaming, etc.)

You are the second to last person to knit jaywalkers. They are on my to do list, but I have yet to get to them :)

Can't wait to see what the sweater looks like finished. You've teased us for a long time!
We had a chilly but clear weekend and this week is gorgeous so far. Hope this weather heads your way.

Uh oh, I also have not knit the Jaywalkers. I was going to a few weeks ago on a trip and when I pulled out the yarn and pattern I discovered that the right margin of the pattern was cutting off about an inch on every line so I need to reprint the pattern.

Even better than being a damsel in distress waiting to be rescued - you rescued yourself!
