sweater update and croissants!

so i took two days off of work this week, and i've officially gone insane. after the first day i decided that i had taken enough time off and that i wanted to go back on friday, but i enjoyed the late wake up, so i stayed in again after all. i started working on the baby sweater again (finally) earlier this week, and i have made significant progress to this point saturday night:

*front is done
*back is done
*both sleeves are finished
*shoulders are seamed together
*hood is 5" completed (it will eventually be 9 1/2" plus a border)

here is proof that i was working on it at katie's place yesterday

here is the sweater before i started on the hood, after blocking. aw.

katie was also working hard on her pastry homework. this is one of the dozen or so croissants she shoved into me yesterday. i also had part of a pain au chocolat and a scone. a bit of brioche today. now, i am not complaining at all. i am very happy to have a friend in pastry school now and be a "homework reviewer." even better that she lives about a 10 mintue walk from me.
