Jo's 1st sweater!

In the picture leaves were lovingly placed by the kids! LOL! So much going on at once. I bought yarn for my very first sweater, I couldn't be more excited but then I thought that I might get overwhelmed by the numbers of projects that I have already started. I'm less than an inch away from knitting the toe part of my 2nd Broadripple sock. Finally I joined a new ball of yarn to my shawl, it was waiting for me to get over the fear of trying a russian join. LOL! I still am s-l-o-w-l-y knitting away on the continental sampler.

Dh will be working out of town all weekend once more, it bums me out but what can I do? At least he's got a job, I know that but he's been working for 12 straight days now, it would be nice to have him home too. He still has a bad cough that wakes him up in the middle of the night for the past week, you can tell he's dead tired too. He needs rest and he's missing his daughter's skating lesson. At least we were lucky enough that he did make it to Zoe's evaluation lesson, he was really proud to have been there and witnessed our daugther's first ever evaluation for anything. LOL!

Enjoy the leaves turning colors, it's a beautiful sight!


p/s: Does anyone know WHY I can't see my blogrolling links anymore? It had been driving me crazy all week. I reinstalled the code many times and still nothing! UGH! I miss visiting my friends.

hmm, can't help you with the blogrolling links, all I know is that sometimes they disappear on me too :) usually come back. Oh I love the way you arranged your wool for the photograph, so pretty!! Nice color too :) Hope you will have fun knitting the cardi. Poor hubby of yours, I am in the exact opposite situation. My DH has been laid off a YEAR ago and is at home basically at all times, my feelings towards him have changed to a pretty much constant premenstrual nag :)...Poor guy too, but what can I do?!

Love the color of your first sweater. I think it will be really pretty. Have fun knitting it. My blogrolling links disappeared Wednesday night while updating my blog. I finally got them back after I had done a 'publish' not 'post'. Don't know if that had anything to do with it or not. I've been wanting to email you, but I don't know what to say. Love you and hope things smooth out for you. Happy skating to Zoe. Posted by: Chery at October 3, 2003 01:20 PM
