Added a link to Knitters Review...does it work?

It has been a while since I was here. Not much has happened. I've not much desire to knit right now for some reason.

It was a long dark weekend. Rain began on Friday and didn't stop until Monday night. .

I did watch Pride and Prejudice on DVD. Why do I always hold my breath until Miss Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy declare their love for one another? The romantic in me I guess.

It was the same with Joe Millionaire. It was so lovely the two of them dancing together at the end. Course they were happy..they just got $500,000 each!

Dale Sweater Sleeve 1 is complete and I think it fits. I've not desire to begin the chart for sleeve 2 yet. I'm not a chart person. It was a simple chart though...

Scarf ripped back 8 rows on the scarf. I found a mistake. I tried to fix it by dropping down the stitch but garter doesn't fix like stst evidently. I'll ask the experts on Knitters Review.

Dale Sweater: I have 3 more rows before sleeve 1 is complete! The last three purl rows..woohoo! Now let's hope it fits. I'll purl the last row onto size 4 24" circulars and try it on my arm before I bind off to be sure.

Scarf: didn't work on the scarf last night. Too excited about the Dale sleeve!

Dales Sweater: Sleeve 1 almost completed!!!! About 5 rows left on the chart and then it's on to Sleeve 2.

Scarf: And the scarf is turning our really nice. I'm ready to turn and cast on the final 49 stitches. It was a quicky!

Ordered about 10 mini skeins from Peace Fleece today. as well as the red tundra hat. It will be nice to be able to sample what they sell. http://www.peacefleece.com

By Friday night I had both sleeves completed to the chart.

Saturday afternoon sat down with sleeve 1. Finished 22 rows of the chart. Ripped back 6 rows...grrrrr...

Sunday afternoon fixed sleeve 1 and reknit to row 22 on the chart.

I also began the Sally Melville scarf using Reynolds Meadows in pretty blues/tans (60% cotton, 25% viscose, 15% linen) which I found at The Knitting Corner on their sale wall. Was $4.99 and marked at 1/2 price. I'm using size 5 needles and it's working up nicely.

Mama's at my brothers.....a peaceful knitting evening at home. I love my mother but she loves to talk.

I can't believe the only project on needles right now is my Dale sweater....oh the horror! But it is nice to see the progress on the sleeves. Have about 16 rows left on the second sleeve and then will re-measure both. I should be at 7 1/4 inches and need to get to 8 1/2 before I begin the chart work.

And then I steek!

Cafe au Lait and kntting....perfect combination. No one showed up at Starbucks last night but I enjoyed myself. Finished both socks. Pretty pink fuzzy edgings!
