October is shaping up to be a great month! I have all kinds of dinners and trips and PRESENTS!! I don't care how old I get I still get as excited about presents as I did when I was 5.

Interesting story from work today. My father emailed me to ask when I'd like to have my birthday dinner with him (yay divorce you can never have one meal with your whole family, yes that is sarcasm). We run through some dates and it comes up that I will be at Rhinebeck and can't do anything on the 20th. Now my brother, boyfriend and step mother are all copied on this emailed so from that point on they just keep bah-ing at me via email. Eventually the sheep pictures come and we get this one:

Warning this isn't exactly PG.

The whole back piece is complete I just need to finish the front and the false pockets. I'm so close but so far. Actually I'm not that close at all. I'm starting my first round of decreases which is exciting. I'm about 8 inches in to the front...so many more to go.

Luckily I have two long train rides to westchester tomorrow where I hope to make some much needed progress. Its going to be a wonderful couple of weeks!

Happy Knitting!
