I'm signing off for a little while. I got a little burned out with the knitting and have been reading lately. The hour-glass is at a stand-still for now with the body and 6" of one sleeve finished. I'll sign on again when I get back in the mood for the needles.
Toodles!

Looking more hourglass-like
Here are a couple progress photos of the hourglass sweater. I'm almost done with the lower body, just about 4 rows left. Then I can start in on the arms. I think the sweater will still fit me nicely even though I decreased a little too much. I made up for that by increasing again so now I have the correct stitch count. If Allison didn't have preggo brain and could do the math right....no, I'm just kidding. She's always a great help to me! She's been patiently waiting for me to get caught up to her so she can continue with our knitalong. Well, Allison, I think I'm almost there!
I have to say I really do like the Debbie Bliss cotton angora. It's very nice to knit with. But it does have fuzzies that shed on me and into the air. I am always rubbing my nose after knitting with it for about an hour. I love how soft it feels too. And I am really looking forward to wearing my sweater this fall!
No news on the house front. A relocation company is in charge of selling my dream house and they are not crazy about a contingency offer. So I'm impatiently waiting for our dinky shoebox to sell so we can try again for the house. There's another one around the corner that just went on the market. It's not quite as perfect, but it has potential. Keep your fingers crossed that someone falls in love with our condo very soon, because the Princess (that's me!) wants all this jazz over with very soon! :-)
