Weekend Weather Worries

I am sitting at my desk looking out at the icky weather we are having today, and am wondering if it will ruin our plans for the weekend. Of course it would rain the day before my friends and I are about to spend the weekend at outdoor events.

Days like this I would rather be at home in bed with a good book or movie, knitting of course. I have been trying to work on the Tilted Duster on the cover of the Fall 2007 Interweave Knits. Unfortunately I have to adjust all the measurements, because I am I guess you would say bustier than the pattern allows for. I also don't want it to spread open as much. Has anyone noticed how O'Keefe-esk the front of the duster is with the ribbing making the shape that it does. Just wondering. I was also trying to use some Berroco Ultra Alpaca to do the duster in, however it just doesn't seem like it would be heavy enough. So I have to put it on hold until I figure out the measurments and get some new yarn (oh darn, new yarn). I do think I am going to use some of the Ultra Alpaca for Fetching from Knitty, and make a cabled scarf to match. We'll see.

I love starting projects, but am having the worst time finishing things. It's like I'm A.D.D. when it comes to projects. My husband always asks when I'm going to finish this, or that, and my sister is still waiting for her Four Seasons throw from Manos. I really should finish that, all that is left is the edging and to block it. I will definitely post a pic when it is finished. Its the second one I have made. I am working on a third, that is in SF Giants colors for my mother-in-law, out of Cascade Pastaza and Cascade Eco.

Well, I gotta get back to what I'm supposed to be doing.
