My Day At The Races

It was a nice busy weekend for both Matt and I. He raced on Saturday and Sunday. I finished up the Spring Forward Class on Saturday and went with him to the Sunday race.

I wish I had gotten photos of the student's cardigans in progress, as they look stunning. Such a beautiful pattern. Fingers crossed, everyone's cardigan will fit well!

Matt's races went okay, his finishes haven't been the best this year. However, that's not surprising, as Saturday, he worked for Tim, who got into a break that stayed away. So Matt's job was to help keep them away by slowing down the peleton. Tim had a 6th place finish, which is great!

Sunday was a crit in a beautiful industrial park (that had flush toilets! YAY!!!) and I got some great pictures:

The Cargas Crit was a lot of fun and the guys from Iron Hill had a large presence. Tim, Matt, Keith and Kyle all had breaks and led for a couple of laps. Kyle even got a preem for one of the laps. Tim again had the best finish, with a 5th place finish.

So we had a lovely weekend.

I took the Summer Braids Cardigan with me to work on while watching the crit and it's moving along well. Since it's knit in one piece, it's taking awhile to see progress. I'm also still plugging away on the Shoalwater. The third repeat is getting close! Then just one and a half more repeats to go!!!

Today, however, is a sewing day. I have a lot of things I need to work on... including a new blankie for both Matt and me. My top is done, but I need to lay it out and pin it up. I'm not sure how I'm going to "quilt" it... something quick and easy! Then I'll work on Matt's. I also have some summer pajamas to make up (which I desperately need! It's too warm to wear flannel!!!)

So lot's to do!!!!
