Saturday, finally
Wow, had a bit of a long, hectic week. I slept in today, then read a book in bed until 10 a.m. That was a nice treat. Sabby got the big fella up for her walk at 6 a.m. as per weekdays, but they came back to bed when they were done.
My business trip went well; was pretty productive. The two 12-hour work days kicked my ass, though. Wednesday was travel day back to the park. Then two days at work. So I was glad when 4 p.m. rolled around yesterday. We both have stuff to do around the house over the weekend, but we're moving pretty slowly.
I sure missed the little princess while I was away! (oh, and of course the big fella, but that goes without saying!)
I only got knit on my sock a bit on the plane Monday morning. I drove us from here to the airport (2.5 hour drive) and also back on Wednesday. The rest of the time, well, there was no time for knitting.
Thursday night I was still pretty beat, but I did start the wrap cardigan. It's top down, and I have just a few rows done, but once again I have to remark on how nice Elann's Peruvian Collection Highland Wool is. The pattern doesn't have any waist shaping - I'd like to add some in, but I wonder if it's necessary with the side-tie and wrap? I'll have to think about that.
The temps have finally cooled down a little here. Sabrina and I have had two consecutive evening walks of at least an hour in duration along the lakeshore. Very nice, refreshing and relaxing. For some reason the people thin out about 6:30 on the lakeshore, so it's like having the place to ourselves for that little bit.
