Run. Knit. Repeat.

[Argh. I hate it when I write a long entry and then I accidentally close my browser window. GAH.]

Here's a recaplet (That word makes me giggle) of the first part:

I ran SIX MILES on Monday. YAY ME. Shin splints still there, but getting better. New interval watch beeps when it's time to walk break. Fun times. I can DO it. GO TEAM SCHMOO.

I finished Cutaway. I don't have modeling pics yet, but I do have blocking pics. I will show them to you now:

Isn't she lovely?

I'm really, really excited about this sweater. I'm searching for the perfect button and I'll model it for you soon. And also wear it to work soon, even if it's not cold. So there.

Since I finished the Cutaway, I've picked up another project that has been on the needles for a while. I need to finish because I love Jacob and he wants his socks, but also because I really need these DPNs for another project. Here they are:

I'm *THIS* close to finishing.
Modeled by the loverly MJ.

Before you say it, I know that the finished one looks a little wider. I'm going to assume that the finished one stretched since it was completed months ago. Yep, that's what I'm going with.

Once I finish those, I have a pair to make for a lovely recipient who shall remain nameless. And luckily, I went through a crazy-sock-yarn-buying frenzy pretty recently, so I have some lovely sock yarn to choose from. I also have some absolutely gorgeous Kidsilk Spray (it's Kidsilk Haze, but it's variegated...wait until you see how freakin' awesome this yarn is) from a schmoo I know and I'm trying to decide what to knit with it. Oh, the choices. As much as I loved knitting Cutaway, it's fun to get big things finished and move on to the next project. (Notice I'm totally avoiding the fact that I haven't finished my Clappy yet. Ooh, ooh, and I still have a Kiri shawl on the needles. I'll get to it! Soon.)

But for now, I must finish the socks for the Pants.
