From turkey...To Times Square...
It was a very busy weekend! My friend and I went down to NYC on Saturday to catch a matinee of "The Lion King" and check out all the tourist traps. I loved the snowflakes at Saks:(We also had fun gawking at the prices inside the store.)

Friday was also really fun, my aunt and I visited my grandparents for lunch and afterwards my aunt, grandma, and I went to the yarn store. Since my birthday is coming up, my aunt offered to buy me a pattern and yarn for a sweater of my choice! Talk about a cool gift, huh? After much deliberation, I decided on:The pattern is from the Filatura Di Crosa Zara Fall/Winter 2005 collection and the yarn is Classic Elite Waterlily. I was talked into the terra-cotta color (I was originally looking at a deep purple), and I think it will look great. Apparently I need some color in my wardrobe! ;) I don't think I will get to start this until later this winter, so it will have to hang out in the stash for a while!

Meanwhile, I'm about halfway up the second front of the bobble cardigan. I was able to do a preliminary try-on for my mom while I was home. I am worried it may be a skootch too small, but it was hard to tell with just two pieces done. I may end up re-knitting a portion of the front piece I already completed, since my gauge was a bit tight on it. I'll probably also do a semi-agressive block on the pieces to add a tiny bit more ease. Hopefully that will work!
