Front and back are complete. I'm just about done with the increases on the first arm. If I never see this denim bulky yarn again- it will be too soon. If I really bust my butt, I should be able to complete the sweater before I leave for Yom Kippur at the parents' place. So much for lace knitting; it's all sweater all the time around here.
My Autumn Rose won't even ship until after the 25th. I will survive, to be sure.
Apparently my sister has some good pictures that I had not yet snagged. First, knitting in action (Bobble Blue, as seen after her pinning ceremony):
My sister is a nurse now- so we have two RNs in the family. Like mother like daughter. I, however, am a knitter first and foremost. Here's proof!
Aren't we a cute little family.
I went to a new (to me) knit store recently- Knit Happens in Alexandria. It might have been on Rosh Hashana. At least I went to services first! I picked up a couple really cute things there, including Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sport for the snowflake socks and two skeins of Rowan 4ply Soft for Endpaper Mitts. I think the yarn I was going to use for the socks (Brown Sheep Nature Spun Sport) is instead going to become a Seraphim. Eventually.
Also at the store, I had my first Ravelry moment. You know you're overly web-enabled when you meet someone in a store, and only later realize you recognize them because you've been lusting after their FOs. I really need a knitted skirt, apparently!

Yea, Seraphim! You can join the SSK club and model along with the rest of us. I think there are four of us who have knit it so far.
Shanah Tovah!
That last photo is cute. Do all nurses wear that outfit at graduation or is she in the military?
Dallas- she's in the Air Force- definitely no uniform required for most nurses! Unless you count scrubs as a uniform.
I love that photo. I love the expression on my mom's face- halfway between cracking up and yawning.
