Almost Done, What's Next?

I am almost done with my classes for the semester. All I have left are two papers, one project-type-thing and one final. It's nice when I can count the things I have to do on one hand. So I'm already trying to decide what I want to do during the two weeks I will have off before my summer classes start. One the list:

Finish all of my current knitting projects: Hourglass Sweater, gray cardigan, Scrapbuster socks.
Sew a pocket-blanket-thing for my daughter's stuffed animals.
Sew for the Back-Tack.
Join the Not Yarn Along? I want to make the tote made out of plastic bags in Erika Knight's Simple Knits with a Twist.
Buy Scarf Style and start Ene's Scarf. (and join the KAL? I'm such a joiner lately).
Start the stripey cardigan that I'm knitting for the daughter, so I can bring something interesting to knitting night.

That may be a little much to do in two weeks.

Queenbee Creations

I like this bag. I like the rest of their stuff, too. And this site: Plain Mabel.

Before and After

Before:

And After:

"Hey, that can't be right," you say. "What happened to the top of that sweater? Sweaters are supposed to get bigger, not smaller. Why is that sweater back on the needles? There must be some mistake!"

Sadly, no, there is no mistake:

The fact that the sleeves were about six inches too long is just one of the reasons why it will be a while before I will be wearing this sweater.

This is fun: Google Maps. If you click on satellite, you can see my house on here if you zoom in far enough.

Cardigan

My way-too-heavy pullover, the first sweater I ever knitted myself, has become a cardigan. Steeking went very well, and it seems pretty solid. Now I need to add the ribbing around the neck and the button bands. I need to find some buttons for it, too. I was thinking of using some big metal ones, maybe.

Scrapbuster Socks

Here is the progress I have made on my Scrapbuster Socks after I had to rip it out a bit. They are a little big, so I am giving them to my mom.

New Header!

My brother helped me with my new header tonight and I am very happy with it. It took a while, but it was well worth it and I learned some things and I could do it myself next time.
