The crazy continental is coming along. I've sewn up the sleeves and am working on the sides. Of course, I still have to shorten the back and then pick up and knit a little neck band. Oh, and weave in a thousand ends. But then she'll be all done (the shaping is quite feminine, plus I'm definitely keeping the flower, so it's a she). I slipped it on to be sure that the fit was right. Well? You asked for form fitting and you got it! And it feels wonderful. I was worried about it being a little scratchy since it's wool and I won't be wearing a turtleneck or anything underneath it, but it feels just like a comfy long-sleeved tee. Dare I say that I love it!

And getting here yesterday were some awesome Phildar catalogs and yarn. Woo hoo! Can I just say that I have fallen for Phildar, hard. I received their new layette catalog from Becky (whose projects are picture-perfect advertisements for their yarn and patterns) and got some of the yarn for a project from the last Phildar baby catalog from this online store in Canada. (Phildar fans, check it out!)

In other news, I'm slowly getting over the cold. Slowly. And I'm getting excited about getting back to the Dale bug sweater!
