The kitchen floor is in! And some of the stairs and finished.
The counter tops will be ready Thursday or Friday. (Good-by Orange!) The sink and new kitchen faucet are here. Our contractor gave us the name of a scratch and dent dealer who sells new appliances with factory warranties so we can shop for a replacement for my dear friend the dishwasher. My old friend leaks on the floor and her top shelf will fall down if I am not most careful with it. I hope I am very impressed with the promised savings compared to the list prices.
Sunday's knitting was rather frustrating. I kept making errors in the pattern. I had some trouble with the first six inches of the meandering cable pattern making it necessary to knit the first six inches of the pattern three times before I got it right. After that things took off. Tonight I expect to be finishing the pack piece and casting on for the next piece.
As I watched this piece take shape I'm getting the idea that it might not fit. Isn't that a nice feeling? I have never made a cardigan larger than toddler-size before and I'm having trouble seeing in my mind how this will fit me when it is done. Also, it is supposed to be a fitted garment -- something else I have not much experience with. I'm allowing the doubt to continue in my mind, so that should it not fit me well, I can rip it and begin again making the next size up.

Do you have a favorite sweater that is fitted to use as a measure against what you are knitting?
I like the floor! It's always exciting to be able to fix up a room the way you want. I look forward to seeing the countertop. And good luck hunting for a new dishwasher.
