More Progress

I've just returned from a lovely excursion to my father-in-law's birthday celebration.  We were there for a few days, and I got a lot of knitting done.  I knit while we sat and talked . . .

. . . and I was able to knit on the ride back.  (I slept on the way  there!)

The project pictured above is Valerie DiPietro's Quadrille, with only half a row of bind-off left to work.  I may have cheated a little on this one without realizing it, because I ended up with 10 fewer stitches than I should have.  This probably happened during the waist decreases and it made the knitting just fly by!  I'm not disturbed about it though---the worst that can happen is that I have more of my shirt showing in back after I tie it. 

The one to the left is my own design, which I refer to as Dave's Socks because that is what they are.  They have been languishing at the bottom of my knitting bag (I'm pretending to have only one knitting bag, but we all know better) but I have now nearly finished the leg of the second sock---nearly finished meaning in this case that I may in fact have finished it but I need to get out the tape measure to check.

But all this productivity is second to the wonderful visiting I  did with my husband's family.  Folks gathered from five states (and an iPhone) to celebrate the day.  I love these guys, and even the people I was just meeting for the first time felt like old friends.  I showed two of my sisters-in-law the moves for My So-Called Scarf, and Nana gave her five daughters (including me) quilted bags.  Now if you'll excuse me, I have some family photos to edit!
