I did, however, knit in the car (we Drove).
Working on that DB ruffle cardi. The whole is knit, the shoulder seams sewn, and the ruffle is on the first set of increases. I had to stop knitting on the way home because I needed a 4th size 3 needle to distribute all the stitches properly and continue. Cant take any pics now b'cause it is all bunched up on the 2 needles I've been using to knit the ruffle to this point.
And, on the Tuesday when we did not ski, dh and I drove around looking at condos for future investment. We also stopped in Minturn, to visit the Yarn shop there. Dh found an ad, noted that they were having a SALE, and suggested we stop there. Who was I going to be to question that logic? Cathy owns the shop, and is delightful. She also has a really nice stock of Dale yarns, and....drumroll please....I found the 400 gm of Tiur in the dk grey I wanted to go with the berry red I have to knit a Dale Of Norway sweater. On Sale! ;)
dh whipped out the credit card, and it was mine.
She also had a copy of the Fall04 VK that I seem to have permanently lost in this house - so I bought that.
She also had, on sale, the kits for the lovely sweaters from Poetry In Stitches - did I mention they were on Sale? I restrained myself. I've got too much yarn as it is. It's weighing on me.
OK, must get back to sewing.
the final final revision of the SWAP plan is this:
And I'm working furiously to finish it.Knitting later.

Marji- What a great DH, rooting out a yarn sale. I'm glad it was successful.
OK! DH is definitely a keeper. Congrats on scoring so well on a sale. And welcome back too!
YARN, love yarn
btw, the photos on my blog is of me burning Mccall 5337... did not enjoy sewing that
Can't wait to see it finished! Sounds like it's going to be go'jus.
Ooooo, you passed up on some Poetry in Stitches kits?! And they were on sale?!
*thump* (that's me as I pass out)
But, good find on the Dale yarn! This store sounds fantastic!
