Cables and Twist sweater

I've finished the knitting of the Cables and Twist sweater. Just need to put the buttons on. I knitted the large as I wanted this to be an over sweater, but it was too big. So I washed it in warm water. That made it smaller and it fits, but I'm not sure I like the way it fits. So this may end up being another sweater that I knitted for me and end up giving away. I'll take photos once I add the buttons (if I add buttons).

I did finish an Hat and scarf out of the alpaca yarn. LOVE them and I'll keep them for me. They turned out great, nice and soft. I'll write up the pattern and post photos soon.

Sill no offers on the house, but with the holidays I guess few people are looking to move. The bases here are upsizing, so the prospects are good to sell the house, but who knows how long that will take.

Keep on knitting.

I've finished all my Christmas shopping

Ok, I wrote checks and knitted gifts, but I'm finished!

PS, Tom's decided to go to Virginia with me. We leave 18 Dec.

Little knitting

I've been working on my cable and twist sweater and realized that I didn't have enough yarn to finish the sleeves. Called Yarn Barn KS and they are shipping be another hank of yarn. So my progress on the sweater has come to a halt.

We still have the house on the market, but so far not much action. There have been a few showings, but either they don't want a pool, or they want a bigger yard. It's only been on the market 2 weeks, but Tom's already beginning to panic. He does that so well. I'm not really worried. If it doesn't sell by the time Tom has to leave for Germany, then I'll stay till the house sells. UGH, not something I really want to do, but I'll do it.

With all the uncertainty on the house, Tom couldn't make up his mind on whether to take a road trip to Virginia or not. He's really concerned about leaving the house empty, so I'm flying to Virginia on my own. I really need to see Mom. While I'm there, I hope to see the rest of my family and maybe even get to see Tom's sisters.

I've finished my Christmas shopping. I cheated. The kids/grandkids got some hand knitted gifts and some small things, but I sent them checks. Missy's going to buy the kids zoo passes (they love the Jax Zoo). Trina will use the money as she see's fit. Who knows what Tommy will do with his money, probally use it to buy more computer games.

Until next time, keep on knitting.

We're back

We're back from the casino, not big winners, but not big losers either.











The best part was spending Thanksgiving with Tom's nephew, Jason and his Mom, Bianca. Jason is an amazing kid (is 18 a kid?). Funny, he's old enough to join the Air Force, but not old enough to play slots.

I got some knitting accomplished while on the road.
