Pretty Things in Sunshine

This is the progress made this weekend on my Knitting Olympics project...Cables in Chamonix sweater (from the Yarn Girls' Guide to Beyond the Basics). I am just about up to the armhole shaping and then will have to figure out the crew neck shaping. I've read the directions about ten times and think I finally have a clue...it's just mirror images, right? How hard can that be? Well, if you've never done it before...pretty hard. I think it is one of those things where I will understand when I get there. A stay-tuned and all-will-be-revealed sort of experience. At least I hope so!

This is our Mid-Winter Recess at school, so I have all week off. Lots of time to knit. Tomorrow night is our big belated Valentine's date-night. Dinner at The Van Dyck restaurant, which I've heard is really nice and romantic...and then, at last, The Phantom at Proctor's Theatre. I get to dress up and not have to cut up anyone else's food at dinner! Thanks to Steve and Amy who are watching Le Bug for us. I cannot wait!
