A long time has passed since I gave up on my gorgeous Noro Cash Laine sweater, but it wasn't until just this weekend that I really commited and used the yarn for something else. I didn't even have to rip, but simply cast off at the top of the sleeves and made the two bell sleeves into two thick and cozy legwarmers. I love the stripiness of the yarn, and even though they are not symmetrical, I am sure that I will wear them with black tights and a skirt to work anyway. These were not made to be hidden under my jeans!

I finished these babies off as soon as I got home from my tiring proficiency test last Sunday, and have loved having all that study time turn back into free time this week. I thought it was a good week, but then today it turned to a GREAT week when I found that the perfect jeans that I have been coveting from Uniqlo are actually the perfect fit. When does that ever happen? Never, if you're me. I am going to be knitting a mile a minute with all this good energy tonight (yes, I am wearing the new purchase right now).

I also finished my second Noro Stripes scarf and even my Endpaper Mitts last night. More pictures soon, whenever I can stop dancing around in these jeans.
