Ta-da! Last time we chatted about my CeCe Cardi I was still playing pick up sticks with the FIRST sleeve. Well, hang on to your double points because not only did I finish BOTH sleeves of my CeCe Cardi yesterday, but I already put all the pieces on a needle and am now knitting across the whole enchilada. I am on a roll*, bay-bee! Strike while the iron's hot, and all. (And thanks to the movies The Parent Trap and Just Like Heaven for added entertainment value. Light Movies + Glass of Sparkling Wine = Good Knitting Progress.)

*It also helps that Miss Bonne Marie of ChicKnits herself is knitting a 3/4 sleeved Chocolat [yum] CeCe along with me. Seeing how she flies on her needles gives me added motivation. Love the tandem knitting.

What else? Oh yes. I recently fed the Stash Monster. Had to do it...dude was hungry and his tummy was rumbling something awful. This is what I gave him:




Load of Phildar Castel so I can knit Captain Destructo a winter jacket. How could I not want to knit another jacket for my boy? He really deserves it. He's been wearing the Linen Jacket I knit him every single day this week. For reals; it is now his favorite garment and he won't wear any other jacket even though he's got more than a few that he usually alternates. But he's rebuffed the other jackets and his Linen Jacket is practically glued onto his back right now. [Bonus action shot taken of the Captain when I picked him up this afternoon. He's wearing, of course, the Linen Jacket.] I figure I'd better knit him a new jacket soon otherwise he'll start looking like a photograph of himself. Such a nice mommy, I am :-)
