Busy weekend!

This weekend, not only did we get a lot of house work done (yeah! for a new ceiling fan in our bedroom!) I did a lot of crafty things too. Friday night, Amanda and I met up for a swim at the Y, and after some dinner at her house. We are both making the Deep V Argyle vest - so we worked on them together. By the end of the weekend - here is where I am:

Of course, here is where she is (being big chested isn't always a good thing). I'm using Rowan Cashsoft DK - and it is such a wonderful and soft yarn... but I'm starting to question the use of it for this sweater. It's slippery, and superwash - so I don't know if I'll get any blocking benefit. So far, I'm liking the fabric - so I'm going to continue on.

Thursday night, I got the beads in the mail for the Ring Around Your Wrist bracelet. Saturday afternoon, I took a break from knitting and worked on it. This was SO easy to make - just opening and closing jump beads, and the finished product is great:

I've been wearing it ever since I finished it.

And finally, Aaron and I went to see V for Vendetta at the movies. I didn't have any socks on the needles (I was trying to hold out until my first Socks the Rock club yarn came in). But I needed something to bring - so I cast on for a simple sock with the Knit Picks Parade (in Plum, with colors that fall into the march Project Spectrum color) and made a lot of progress (I'm on the heel flap):

Tomorrow morning, super bright and early, I'm heading out to Chicago for work for a few days, so the blog will be quiet until Wednesday... but you know I'll still be knitting.
