Lots of news!

Here it is, just in time for Father's Day - dad's "Service Cardigan". This sweater gave me more than a few headaches but did come out beautifully in the end. It even fits!

Now that it's done I think I'll do small projects for the next little while - especially since I'll be MOVING! Woohoo, yes, Peter and I are finally "shacking up" and will be moving in less than two weeks - EEK!!!! I have to get packed and organized tout suite - fortunately, the new place is basically move-in ready; just a good going-over with dust & mop and we'll be ready to go. It's a bit on the small side (read: "cozy") and when we were measuring for furniture, etc., I forgot to factor in my stash bins! However, there's a fair bit of storage room in the front porch so they may find their home there.

I'm excited beyond measure about this - we've been waiting SO long to be able to do this, and it literally fell right in our laps just this week. When things are meant to be, they work. :)

In other news, Mom's second sock is finished but requires a semi-frog. Somehow I messed up the decreases at the toe and it's about an inch shorter than its mate. Hrm. So I will rip and restart tonight - hopefully can just rip back to the problem area without going too far!

So, there probably won't be much blogging for the next couple of weeks because there's so much to do. (Like set up Internet at the new place!) In the meantime, think "good weather moving day" thoughts for me and I'll post pics of the new place (complete with my planned knitting corner) as soon as I can.

Happy Father's Day bloglanders!
