The teen's Christmas sweater, that is. The knitting is FINALLY complete, and aside from one glaring mistake that I think I can acceptably fix with some minor weaving, I'm very happy with it. Now, I just have to sew in the sleeves (I'll have to Google how to do it b/c I have a copy of the pattern without the making up instructions) and get the ribbon for the trim. She saw it laying out and loves it. I'll be posting a finished picture soon!
Of course, I didn't do nearly what I wanted to do this weekend. As usual, when teen is grounded, I feel some sort of responsibility for keeping her semi-occupied while she's out of the social scene. So we watched Auntie Mame Friday night (well, I watched and she fell asleep - but then she finished it Sat and loooved it), then I took her running errands Saturday, we all had dinner and hung out Saturday night, and I pinned Bella's doll outfit pattern this morning so she could cut it out. I was exhausted both nights and fell asleep early, and most of my leisure time was taken up with working on the sweater. Now I'm ready to just veg a little - think Brad and I are going to watch a movie. Looking forward to teen being out of town later this week - hoping that next weekend, my days will really be mine.
