For some reason I was thinking that Mother's Day was a week later than it actually is, Oops! After realizing my mistake on Friday, I buckled down on mom's vest over the weekend and I'm up to the armhole shaping on the second front piece. With luck I'll be able to start the finishing at coffee on Wednesday. Note to self, no more promising knitted gifts for specific dates, heh. I'll hopefully block the first 2 pieces tonight, so I'll just have the last one to do tomorrow. Then I'll take some more pictures :)

In a moment of Hat Madness, I picked up cotton yarn to make myself a bucket hat, and to make Gordon's evil kitty hat finally. I also won the needles I need for the aforementioned kitty hat on ebay (16" #7 Addi Turbos,w00t.) I keep forgetting to send off for the short cable for my denise set, so when I saw the right needles with a low price on ebay, I threw in a bid. It will be cool to try them out and see if like them as much as others seem too. :) Gordon's hat will be black with red ears/barbs and some kind of esoteric red symbol on the front, should be fun to make.

I also picked up a thrift store silk sweater and started trying to dissassemble it. Ugh, It may be more trouble than it's worth, we'll see. Hopefully I'll at least get enough usable yarn for a festival top ;)
