I had hoped to be done with the body of my mom’s sweater by Sunday but that, obviously, didn’t happen.  I didn’t have much knitting time at all over the weekend, I only managed a few rows on the fronts.  Last night I finished both fronts of the sweater and today I’ve knit most of the back, I have about ten rows left and then the shoulder shaping, maybe sixteen rows total.  I guess I’ll finish this up tonight and start the sleeves tomorrow.  It’s looking like I may not finish by the end of the Olympics but I don’t really care.

Last thing, I have a new favorite nail polish.  I love gray, I could wear nothing but gray and black, maybe a little white, and be happy.  I’ve been looking for a good gray nail polish for a long time, something not too light, no sparkle and thick enough that I don’t have to use more than two coats to cover my nail and I think I’ve found it.  This is a new polish by Rimmel, so it’s cheap, it was a little over $3 for this bottle, this is Lasting Finish Pro in Steel Grey.  The polish says it will last up to ten days with no top coat, so I’m trying it out, I polished my nails last night, only two coats and I’m just going to leave it on for a while and see how it holds up.  I love the color, it’s a nice medium gray with a slight purple undertone.  I got a bottle of the same polish in Purple Rain which is a dark, almost black, purple that I can’t wait to try.  I really like the brush on this polish, it’s very thick and wide, I could cover most of my nail in one stroke.  I think I’ll pick up a few more of these.  I’m very happy with them.
