kitty: World Food Cup Continues - only 2 more games

Hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July. I thankfully had a nice and quiet day. The phone didn't even ring the entire day. WOHO a true holiday! Though I was trying to get work done so that today wouldn't be that bad. The pink sweater is coming along nicely. I had to order US size 9 double points to be able to finish the center sand dollar. I think I will have enough yarn to do the long sleeves, but I really want to wait until I know for sure. The back and the front have knitted up in about 4 hours, so it has been super fast knit. The Lady Bug yarn sweater is almost ready for its close up. It took an entire week to dry, and now it needs to be blocked again for the loops. I am so excited about how it is turning out.
