Majorly Late Update..

I know it's been a while.. and I'm not even going to make excuses this time.. I've been sick (not an excuse!) and I've been working and knitting a lot... so what does this mean for you?

It's update time!

I know I said that I joined the UFOlympics.. and I honestly did try and get my Ribby2 done... I didn't make it.. but I did try..

This is the pre-olympic picture:



And this is the post-olympic picture:



As you can see, over the olympic period I finished the first sleeve.. and got a good start on the second. Now all that's left is to finish the second sleeve..blocking.. knit the zipper band.. attach the sleeves.. knit the collar... attach the zipper.. and wear it!

So I'm not so much the olympian.. but you know I think if we did the summer olympics I'd really make it. Then I wouldn't have school and my neice is already born and hopefully Brad and I would be moved into our new apartment..

The following life distractions happened to me durring the olympics:
I had a college exam..
I had lots of working time..
My neice was born! (She's sooo cute.)
Brad and I went and looked at some apartments, put a deposit down, and are waiting for approval.. If approved we'll be moving THIS WEEKEND!!

This is all very exciting.. but not so much good for knitting. Allthough I did knit at the hospital while waiting for my neice.. I've also been knitting at work quite a bit. I also think there will be more knitting once we move out.. because I believe we won't be having cable tv. (Aww : ()

Anyway.. after the olympic loserness of me I decided.. yes.. it is time... Are you ready for this?



I cast on for my Travelling Cables Cardigan!!! And I'm even past the decreases in the back... Now for increasing and "curving the cable lines" which I'm not sure what that really means.. but you know.... whatever... lol.

I think it's looking really good though. I'm afraid it will be too big though.. but I was assured that it is supposed to be big and worn as a jacket by the Karabella people.. I guess we shall see. After I knit a bit more I'll measure the width and then the width of one of my jackets and see what I think.. I may have to plot altering the pattern smaller.

Anyway.. Hopefully I'll get more done on it today.. and hopefully we'll be moving this weekend (Please hope with me on this, I really want to move outa my momma's house! We've been here for over two years now.. and it's really time for us to go.)

I'll try to update again soon.. I'll definitely let yall know if we get the apartment.

Traveling Cables is looking great! I love the color, and that yarn seems to make the cables really stand out.

There are quite a few things more important in life than knitting, like getting a niece!! Congratulations! Will we be seeing tons of babystuff now? :)

And good luck with the apartement, I hope you get it!!!

Hey, sometimes life gets in the way of knitting! In this case it seems like a good thing! Congrats on the neice--how exciting! Crossing my fingers that you get the apartment.

Oh yeah, traveling cables is looking gorgeous. Great color!
