I *finally* made some progress on the bodiced petticoat. Not much, mind you (but then, I worked 10-19 today, then went grocery shopping, then cooked dinner and prepared some jam that I'll cook tomorrow morning), but getting the two ruffles hemmed and ready to be attached to the skirt is actully needed to complete the petticoat by Thursday, as I ambition to. Attaching two ruffles (pre-gathered) sounds doable, right ? I have tomorrow morning off - and a fair amount of things to do around the house. I *think* I can do it. I'm even daydreaming of getting a little bit further.
I don't know if it's the knitting inducing my body to produce endorphines, but I'm feeling quite content with this minimal progress and optimistic about the next days. A propos knitting, I'm almost halfway through the Kid in Yellow's bonnet. And starting to love DPN's. I knew I was masochistic to begin with ! Now if only I could figure out a way to make my figure 8 cast-on look really good instead of just okay, that'd be great.

We spent the weekend near Paris for a friends couple's (and their kid's) birthday. Basically, I discussed some things with the HG in the train, and for the rest I slept, ate, did nothing but knit and cuddle the toddler - a very cuddle-worthy kid. So NO sewing progress, no invitation progress, but much rest and relaxation and OMG ! I've finished Pinky !
I have to weave in the loose ends and block it. And then I4ll wear it and marvel in it's pink warmth. Which I seriously could use at work, because it's getting COLD here. Not cold enough to get us the promised snow, though. *pouts*
I have a new project almost on my needles now - almost as in I have the gauge swatch on my needles. I'm making a yellow Totoro bonnet for some other friends' kid. The kid was born on Wednesday and there's a kind of private joke about dressing him in yellow. And I just happened to have yellow yarn. *grin*

As for tonight, I'm debating whether to go try on the bodiced petticoat and fiddle with the cording acting up or just measure the gauge for the bonnet, check some stitches I'm not sure about anymore, and then go to sleep.
