A Week Off Shipwrecked

I went into The Knitter's Edge in Bethlehem again to pick up a pair of size 3 needles. While I was there, I also purchased some Sirdar's Snuggly Kisses DK weight yarn. I saw the cutest boy's cardigan, and I want to make it. Too bad no one I know is having a boy! Well, now my friend Danelle is pregnant and she'll find out tomorrow if it's a boy or girl. I'm hoping for boy so I can give this to her. I casted on so to knit the front AND back at the same time. I got to the arms, so I'm holding off and switching back to my Shipwrecked Shawl.

I stopped working on that because I originally didn't like how the second half of the Madeira looked. I took the week off to think about it. I really didn't want to rip out almost 15 rounds of stitches, so I decided I could live with it. I picked it up briefly this past weekend, but I couldn't get into it. I was exhausted. I had to take some meds that apparently didn't agree with my mood and I didn't feel like doing anything. I'm still feeling repercussions from them... I'm not happy about that, literally! But I'm finally getting back into my knitting.

Leslie will be over tonight to watch some BSG, I think, and I will get the rest of this pattern done tonight. Then I'll need to string beads!
