Last Days of Vacation

My wonderful week long vacation is almost over. It has been a great week. I was treated to a night of skiing with my mom. I got together with friends for lunch. I bought some Silpada jewelry. AND, of course, I knit!

The past few days I have been working my tail off to get my house cleaned up and in order. I am such a messy person at home, and at school I'm all sorts of organized. It's odd how that works out. So, my parents' shelves in the basement have totally motivated me to get stuff put away. The problem has been finding homes for some of our stuff. I learned about organization boxes and have totally gotten on that bandwagon! I'm very pleased with how much I have accomplished here!

I finished my Market Squares bag and have used it a few times. Here it is while it was drying:I was telling myself that I needed to at least get to the toe decrease on my sock before I started this great little vest pattern... that didn't work out so well. Today, I am working on the sock to get to the decrease and my vest is on hold (yeah, right, like that's going to last....). I LOVE new patterns. They are exciting and new. I want to work on the new stuff because it's something different from what I've been doing! I love how my sock looks, and I really do want to finish this second pair of jitterbug socks!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, too many patterns, not enough time!
