It's Finished!

I finished my sister's sweater last week. I'm very pleased with the results. I went up to Mary's Yarns in Unionville to get the buttons. I wanted really fabulous buttons as it is such a simple sweater and I found the perfect ones.

It's been a busy week around here. We've had a couple of major shipments arrive so we've got some extra help in the warehouse. I'm invoicing like crazy. It's sometimes hard for our shipper to keep up.

I've started a new sock (I know I've got at least three others on the go, it's a sickness). It's Lang's Jawoll Aktion Denim. I love the taupe /blue combination. I don't have plans this weekend so I'll work away on it. I'm working on an alpaca hat for work to match a scarf and wrist warmer. It's almost finished.

I went to see Julie and Julia last Saturday. I loved it. Now I want a copy of Mastering the Art of French Cooking. I think I'll ask for it for Christmas as it's a little expensive. I might give my sister a copy for her 50th birthday in September. Meryl Streep was fantastic as Julia Child. They showed that Saturday Night Live clip of Dan Ackroyd imitating Julia Child. It was too funny.

We had a terrible storm here last night. North of the city in Vaughn a tornado touched down. Many houses were damaged and 20 will have to be demolished. It was kind of scary. I was at physio (it's on the lower level) and I was surprised at how dark it was when I got out of the elevator. I called back up there after I got home to warn them. They both have long distances to travel and thought they should be forewarned. I think we're supposed to have storms both days on the weekend. Oh well.

Well, I'd better go. Have a great weekend and Happy Knitting!
