My sweater is moving along. See? There’s the waistband PLUS the lower part of the sweater.

I did it twice, even. I picked up those 165 stitches last night and knit the first 5 rows, but wasn’t happy with the way it looked–the ribbing was pulling in too much and didn’t look right. You realize, of course, that my gauge is (of course) different than the one in the pattern. Though … it looks like it’s different from the swatch (of course). I may have to take a closer look at it tomorrow when I’m not so tired. If necessary, I’ll redo the lower section again, when I get a better look at the actual gauge. (You know, when I’m not so tired.)

We spent the day up at my sister’s today, because our realtor had an Open House here today. So, Mom, Dad, Chappy and I drove up to Pennsylvania and spent the day there. I even got a look at my nephew’s bunny, Snowshoe. So did Chappy–he stood in Tyler’s doorway, his nose going a mile a minute, and then gave one, little woof, like he was asking, “Did you know there’s a rabbit in there?”

And now he’s tired… it’s been a long, rather confusing day for him! Mom, too, who’s finally getting over her cold, but spent most of the day coughing … though at least her voice is starting to come back.
