Well, this past weekend was a packing frenzy at the ol' homestead. We got tons done; and thankfully, I put my stash in a separate room in plastic tubs so I can dive into it. Which is a good thing, considering I am knitting along with my knitting cohort Melissa - we are making the Many Buttoned vest from Folk Vests; I'm not sure what yarn I'm going to use yet but I'm hoping for something in the stash. It'd be very nice if the yarn I got for the now deceased "Lili's Vest" from Knitpicks worked for this one...ugh.
I'm also knitting along the Knitted Simple Bodice with the folks over at the Sexy Knitters Club (which I'm now a member of) - it's drop dead sexy and designed by Stephanie Japel, one of my favorite knitting designers. The pattern is here - http://www.stitchdiva.com/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=SDS-026 - and any ideas for inexpensive substitution yarns would be welcomed :)
Lastly, this weekend I finished my first sock for my Daddy - here are three photos of it:

They're taken on my feet, which are a bit smaller than his, so ignore the bagginess. I'm pretty amusingly pleased with these!
