Knit-o-Rama

Hello Dear Readers,

I know, I know, long time no post. Been busy this month with working 6-7 days a week (plus taking Greek lessons on Thursdays, at last!) but I am feeling a bit rough today so I'm taking it easy and working from home today. Taking a break from work though I thought I'd update you on my craft activities.

You may remember this yarn from this post almost a year ago that Patrick gave me for my birthday. I have been working on this cardigan since August, designing, knitting, ripping, knitting, repeat and finally finished two weeks ago. It's so light and lovely, but still warm since it's cashmere and silk. Love wearing it, but I'm still a bit nervous that I'm going to snag it on something, or that I will spill sauce on it!

Here is another finished item, a little shrug made out of what was left over from Odie's sweater
And this fun little guy who is very naughty and keeps appearing all over the house; i.e. in Patrick's bed, in my closet etc....... naughty monkey! My mother sent me the yarn and patterns for making sock monkeys and I am loving it. After finishing this one I cast on right away for the baby version. They are going to a friend of ours in Cyprus who is having her second son in April.

Big plans this weekend as Chris and I are going to see Cirque du Solei's new production, Totem. It is at Royal Albert hall and we are going with our friends Molly and George from Graduate school. Afterwards we are going to a vegan resturant, hooray!
