Eat, Drink & Be Merry

I am so happy that it's Friday, and my weekend has begun. I have been feeling sleep deprived all week, and now I can finally catch up. It's pretty rare that I ever get enough sleep. I've always enjoyed staying up late, and I have a hard time getting to bed at a decent hour.

In addition to sleeping, I'm hoping to get a lot of knitting done this weekend. We are going to San Diego next weekend, and earlier this week I started thinking how nice it would be to have a new sweater to wear. A hand-knit sweater.

I realize that I am most likely totally deluding myself that this will be finished by next weekend, but I am still optimistic at this point. Things in my favor: cap sleeves, heavy worsted yarn and a super simple pattern. What's working against me is the lack of time and the fact that this sweater will need to be seamed.

I'm still holding out hope though. I'm almost to the armholes on the back, and it should progress quickly after that. I have a day off in the middle of next week as well. Cross your fingers for me!

I'm slightly embarrassed to say that we are still not completely unpacked from our move in February. For the most part we are done, but this apartment is so small that we seem to have run out of space to put things. There are still a few pictures to be hung as well.

The sign in the second photo used to hang in our dining room, but in our new apartment the kitchen and dining/living room are one big room. There really isn't a good wall to hang it on. We finally decided to hang it from the ceiling. That will be my other weekend project.
