I'm now back to one job... and I have to say, this has been an awesome weekend!
The difference between working a 75-hr week and a 40-hr week? Time.
Time to cook:
(vegan mac & cheez from scratch - the ultimate comfort food! cookbook
)
)Time to bake:
(vegan chocolate mint brownies - YUM! cookbook)
Time to snuggle with my favorite furry kids:
Time to even play with a bit of string:
Yes, my friends, that is a sleeve. =) Okay, half a sleeve. Anyway, awhile back, Virginia posted this sweater on her blog and it quickly made it's way into my queue. This sleeve will become part of this sweater:

(much closer to the true color - the sleeve was a quick cell phone shot)
My local library doesn't have the greatest selection, but they seem very open to suggestions... So I suggested these:
and 
- Thanks again, Virginia, for the recs on both.)You're welcome, Crawfordsville knitters. =) It took awhile, but both are now in my hot little hands... and not a penny out of pocket. Although I will happily say, both may make it into my collection after the move as both contain multiple patterns I adore (and I still have credit on my B&N gift card)! Until then, borrowing will do.
That was just day one of my first weekend off in months. Today, it's bean burgers and... I'm open to suggestions. =)
Oh man. I am totally jealous that you get to cast on for that sweater. It is a truly gorgeous one... sigh.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course, you're totally welcome about the book recs. I'm pretty darned obsessed with knitting books (recently picked up a new one that I kind of don't want to mention on my blog as my husband reads it and he might explode) and am always happy to talk about them. Incessantly. Heh.
Ooh, I'm curious to know what you got!
