I finished the aran front last night. Below the aran is an Old Navy Favorite T, part of my regular uniform. I am crossing my fingers, the size and length seems to look ok. :)

Oh, and true to my lack of attention and ability to follow direction, I totally screwed up the dec on the neckline. I will deal with it when I pick up stitches for the rib collar. Sleeves, seam, and collar to go ... This is taking me forever.

I found a mistake yesterday on the aran back. I was so obessive about it that I fixed it last night. Then ... I noticed another .. ahem.. problem. I ..er. yeah. am .. too .. embarrass ... to talk about it ...

the front and back .. are. different. width. There. *crossing fingers* the size difference should not be .. noticable.

(I hope)

... one hundred and twenty something for the aran top. No pics. It looks just like the back :). I am knitting as often and fast as I can! Knitting time is really limited right now and I am trying my best to not stray into other projects.

UPDATE:
*CRY* I just noticed I made mistakes in the (finished) back! Will frog and redo.

The cutest purple plush ever came from W+Jo yesterday. They had called a couple of weeks ago(?) to tell me Monterey Aquarium's newest sunfish is in their Outter Bay Tank. Oh my! A PURPLE PLUSH SUNFISH and a silver sunfish charm!

I am pretty obessive about this fish. It is just adorable to me. I looked for it last time I was there (a few years ago) and Jo learned that when it grows too big, they take it back out to the ocean and start all over with a new one. They had one in a qurantine tank, but it was not ready. Nex time, hopefully I have good timing next time.

GD and I stopped in Weaving Works last weekend(?) since .. ahem... we need more yarn. She helped me pick out a rich brown tweed for my mom's cardi. Wooo! I have pattern, yarn, and measurements. Maybe ... hopefully...

Now I just need to do some math (finish some projects).

I got package from J, the enabler, yesterday. I opened the box and it has a cute card that detailed all the goodies.

- 5+ skeins of Noro silk garden (for Kiss purse perhaps!)
- KP main line and shine worsted (cotton blend yarn for petting and swatching)
- AV fall 2003 book (not photographed, for I-like-that-neckline-sweater)
- and a present for GD (not photographed)
- a corkscrew scarf pattern

and the BEST part ...

A BAG OF CEY Sand. It is textured black cotton yarn! It would be perfect for a three season pullover or something real simple to show off the yarn.

Yarn! :)
