One More Month

One month from today we will be on our way to Japan! I am so excited about it!!! It's always nice to go back and it feels like going home for me. It's such a special place and I miss my friends so much!
Today I also finished the sweater!!!! It's soaking at the moment. and then I'll block it. I am so pleased with it. I have to have some help to sew in the zipper, but the knitting of it is done! It fits great everywhere but the arms. With the border on them they are a little longer than I wanted, but the border will protect and keep the edge nicer for longer.
I am ready to start my next project today. I have a light summer sleeveless shell that I'm going to make. I got this great rust colored yarn and later tonight I'll cast it on.
This weekend we are going to get our flights to Hokkaido and our hotel in Tokyo and we will be set to go!!!! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
