The Weekend Ahead

So we're headed to NY this weekend so I can take part in the 2nd Wineglass Half Marathon.  To say I'm excited is...well...an understatement.  I've been ready to go since coming back from DE last weekend.  This is the most traveling I've done in a year. And I'm doing it in one week!  We're hoping to see some leaves changing and I'm always excited to see new places.

I was also excited to see that they announced the 1st Annual Wineglass 5K on Saturday.  It'll be a nice shake-out run before Sunday.  I will be returning to town all swagged out with goodies from the two races.  The Wineglass was picked by Runner's World magazine as one of the races with the best swag.

Ian is taking his Air so I should be able to upload my Garmin data.  Squee!  I hate to wait for some reason.  Everyone needs to know I ran 13.1 miles.  NOW.

On the Aidez front, I finished up the back and started on the sleeves last night.  I decided to do both sleeves at once since they are both the same.  At least this was they will be identical.

The sleeves are not moving nearly as fast as the back, but I'm figuring it's from switching back and forth from ball to ball of yarn for each.  Or that's just what I'll keep telling myself.

I also finished up a test knit for Melissa a few weeks ago.  I had bought buttons that were too small so I ordered new ones.  Which coincidently were the same buttons that Melissa used on her sweater.  They are still not here.  I got tired of waiting so I temporarily sewed on the original buttons.

The sweater is Hemingway.  I used Malabrigo, which I know I am crazy, while soft - not very kid-use friendly!  But I think we can get a lot of use out of this in the coming weeks, look how far the sleeves are rolled up!  I believe it is set for a mid-October release, but don't hold me to it.

Everyone have a great weekend!  I'm ready to get on the road!
