Manos in mostly sage green, with a few hanks of black, one olive green, and a variegated with black, shades of green, and brown. Hopefully, if I can ever manage to find some bobbins, this will turn into a sweater. I've designed the pattern myself, but have never knitted off of bobbins before, so this should be interesting. As a matter of fact, the only real color work I've ever done is that felted handbag in the previous post.

I've also casted on and ripped back the Counterpane Carpet Bag about 3 times. I don't know why, but my stitch count is always off on row 8 and I can't figure out why. Maybe I should refrain from knitting this on the train. That way, I'll be forced to start another pair of socks or something. Oh, twist my arm. Anyway, hopefully I'll have it done in time for Mother's Day. If I can get a whole repeat done, I'll post pics. Probably not tomorrow, though. Tomorrow we'll be working on restoring my Grandpa's truck, which I inherited and my husband wants to restore to it's former glory.

In other news, The Husband and I went to our first Aikido class last night. It was great! I'm sore, but very excited to go back. It's great to learn something new together, and we took in so much information that I can't imagine learning this without someone to practice with in between classes. And he won't go easy on me either - he's the type of competitor that wants to bring out the best in his opponent. Only one more thing that I respect about him. He always inspires me to do my best.
