1st May Day Sock Finished!

The first May Day Sock is finished!

More Curvalicious Frustration

I continued working on the May Day Socks and the Curvalicious Cardigan, last night. The first sock is almost done, but the cardigan? That's another story...I ripped 2/3 of the edging out again so that I could make more of it pink instead of brown, around the hood. I really want to take this sweater with us as we are "camping," this weekend, so I will, hopefully, finish it tonight. A hooded sweater will be just right for the 70 degree weather we're expected to have!
We have a one room cabin reserved at a KOA, up north, for two nights. Friends of ours will be bringing their trailer and the 6 of us (4 adults & their 2 children) will spend most of the weekend together. The guys plan to golf, early Saturday morning, and we gals plan to spend as much time possible knitting and catching up. We're all really looking forward to it! I just have to decide which WIP to take to work on. I will probably not take socks as the needles are small and would be easy to lose. Right now, I am thinking about taking my Civil War Shawl and Green Gable. Green Gable is now approaching a deadline (June 3rd) so it really needs to get finished. The CWS has not been worked on lately, but is a tricky knit, so I'm not sure about taking it. I may substitute Snowmen & Skates. Whatever I decided to do, I should have some wonderful progress to show on Monday!!

More Progress

I worked on the May Day Socks some more, yesterday. I almost ready to star the toes decreases on the first sock! I, also, started to sew in the zipper on the Curvalicious Cardigan. However, I really don't like the way that it looks. I think that I should have blocked it before deciding on the front edging. When I tried it one, the zipper is keeping the center front pulled up higher than the rest of the hem. I guess I'll be ripping the zipper and the front edging out, again, so that I can block it, put the edging back on and then the zipper. This one is driving me nuts!

Sock Update

I have finished the heel and am over half way through the gusset on the first May Day sock! All is well and this project seems to be the one getting the most attention, lately.

Last night, dh had dinner waiting when I arrived home from work. It was so nice, as I had a not so great day at work...Then, he drove so that I could knit, while we finished a few errands. I had a book to return to the library, and 2 on hold to pick up. I only brought 2 home with me, as the other was not what I expected. I checked out Pursenalities. I took some time in the car to to flip through it. There are a couple ideas that I like and may incorporate any particularly good ones into my design for the International Tote Exchange IV. Last time, I designed my own bag and it was a great hit! After the library, he took me to the driving range. He has been wanting me to take up golf, so this was a natural first step. We each hit a some balls. It was nice to spend some time together, just the two of us without the TV on. I'm sure we'll try it again in a week or two. On the way home, we stopped at the video store. He rented A Night at the Museum, which we watched while eating popcorn that I made at home. It was the perfect end to a not-so-perfect Monday.
