My best laid plans....

BUT first and foremost....Happy Birthday to my Mommy!

I had big plans this weekend to do some serious holiday knitting. Did I? No, but I did finish Christmas Gift #1 tonight. It's blocking. It's lovely. Check Ravelry in a couple days for finished pics. And I'll post about it on the 26th, or a few days shortly after (December that is).
Maybe I should just give up this whole holiday knitting thing. We'll see...

We went looking for a wedding dress on Saturday. It was kind of stressful, and the fact that I totally wasn't in the mood to be smooshed (okay, I wasn't REALLY smooshed, but it felt like it) into a dress didn't help.

It's been a good day! I had yummy food and delicious wine (cranberry....Linda and family are great!)

I haven't knit much YET today, but I have big plans for the rest of the evening! :)

So, sometimes I can be a slow blog reader...apparently Melissa tagged me...so I shall actually fill it out. I've never really been tagged before, and...eh, it's something for you to read.
38 THINGS ABOUT ME
1. Name one person who made you laugh last night? Ed
2. What were you doing at 0800? AM? I was laying in bed debating which exercise video I wanted to do.
3. What were you doing 30 minutes ago? Watching Shrek the Third (in HD).

The holidays are totally creeping up on me. I can't believe it's already Thanksgiving Eve. I thought I was in good shape with holiday knitting, but now I'm not so sure. And I keep wanting to add projects.
The good news is, Thanksgiving is a quiet time for us...just Mom, Dad, Anna, Me and Ed. Ed and I may go to the movies...we may not. I haven't decided yet.
Friday is for serious cleaning, knitting, and de-stressing (this whole going to look for a wedding dress thing on Saturday has me seriously eek-ed out. i think it's a size issue.)

My house smells like gingerbread and pecan pie right now. It is glorious!

Well, a bit...aside from ignoring the blog.
Ed made bread.
Billy had a birthday.
I finished Chelsea's Sweater.

The Ella Sweater for Chelsea is moving right along. The back and front are done. I'm on the sleeves. I wanted to finish them tonight, but oh, how life gets in the way.
Hopefully I'll be done with it this weekend.
I still have several holiday projects to complete. Many of them will be referred to as numbers and have very little information revealed, as you never know who is going to stumble upon the blog.
All pictures will be revealed after Christmas...probably on Christmas day.

So, I've straightened out my Tilted Duster issues. Everything looks much better when you don't have a migraine! I undid my sleeve seam. Fixed it.

I had crocheted the edge, but was VERY displeased with it, so, I undid that (not fun with Peruvia) and undid the bind off, continued with four rows on the stockinette stitch and knit the ribbing as ribbing.
Overall I'm pretty please with the way it came out. A bit smaller than I was expecting, but I'm still crossing my fingers that I'll lose more. Even if I don't, it's a pretty nice piece.
