Forget what I told you in my last post about the next project I was going to start. There's a new girl in town and her name is Olive...

I have been craving a plain ribbed zip up cardigan and Olive fits the bill. This sweater is from the Jane Ellison book Laines Du Nord...

I have decided to knit her up in the luxurious Karabella Aurora 8 in this color...

Parsley #716. this color is gorgeous in person with a few different shades of green in the mix. I LOVE how this yarn feels in the hand. It's so soft and not at all itchy. I wanted something different...well this is different for me. I just cast on tonight for her so I will post a picture the next time I post.

My DH wants me to knit him a sleeveless vest in Burgundy. There are a couple I have in mind, so I'll post them when I decide which one and get the yarn. He never asks me to knit him anything...so I think I should do this. I just hope he will wear it.

Rogue Update...
I'm still waiting for the zipper to arrive in the very slooooow snail mail. When it does come though, I'll be ready to install that baby. I can't wait to wear Rogue!

Last Thursday lovely Lauren invited us over for knit night...

I agree with Lauren on this one...this photo is a classic!

I know it's been a week since I posted but Oh Well!!! We had Chinese food brought in, talked and laughed. Kris...her DH even hung out with us all night. What a great time!! Tomorrow night Heather and Donna are coming over to my house for knit night. We are going to Pasta Blitz for dinner and then back to Breir Manor for some knitting and talking fun! Those pics will go up next time I post also.

Roses of the Week...

Beeeauutifulll!!!! I love my orchids but my Rose bowl filled with fresh roses is stunning! Even prettier in person.

Workout News...
This week was the first time Linda was able to fit me in for a private lesson in Pilate's. She has been super busy and hired a new Pilate's instructor that trained in New York. Her name is Victoria & she is awesome. All I can say is HELP! I never realized how much control you need in the abdominal muscles to perform these exercises the right way. I am very, very sore at the moment. I have also been doing my cardio 3 times a week and one day of weights for the upper body.

RAOK News...
I got a wonderful RAOK from Kate from Amazon.com. Thank you so much Kate. That was a much needed surprise to brighten my day!

Bye for now and make it great night!!
