All of this? For this year's
I'll be getting started on Sunday, when we leave on our cruise, or when I finish Orangina, whichever comes first. We're doing a cruise to the Caribbean, (Aruba, Barbados, Dominica, and St. Thomas) with Carnival. My best friend from high school and his wife are celebrating their one year anniversary, and wanted their friends to come along, but Andy and I are the only ones who could go- we're so excited!
As for Orangina....OH so close. I'm on the bottom ribbing, which is taking forever for me, as I'm a slow knitter despite being a Continental knitter. If I was an English knitter...god help me. Anyway, I'm 2 inches away from the seaming...TWO inches. It's killing me. I'm hoping to finish the ribbing and get to the seaming in time to bring it on our trip, but that deadline's looming. And I hate seaming.
Here it is, just waiting...
