Hello, everyone!
So where am I with my projects? I'm almost done with KEA's stole/capelet/poncho (just not entirely sure what the heck to call it) for Christmas, should be done today, in fact! I have finished half of my MIL's Christmas gift and I am about 90% done with a friend's gift. My goal with these three items is to have them all done by Sunday night (11/28). Probably a lofty goal but I have to try!
I ordered some yummy yarn (Debbie Bliss's Cashmerino) recently to make something for my step-daughter for her birthday. When I showed the pattern and yarn to her father he was in total agreement on how appropriate it is for her. I can't wait to start it but...
I know I have to finish my other projects so I'm willing myself to wait. Come to think of it, I have to wait anyway because I had to order the needle as I did not have the size required - so I ordered some wool yarn for felted mittens while I was at it. (Man - just no self control for me, huh?)
Would write more but need to get back to knitting. Have a fabo day, everyone!
p.s. Just read what I last posted in November and realized that the capelet/stole that I'm making is NOTHING like the one I described. I hated working with that mohair - it's as thin as sewing thread - no joke. Anyway, so now I'm using Lion Brand's MicroSheen in Lily White, two strands at a time. It's so plush and thick, I think she's really going to like it.
p.p.s. My step-daughter has taken up knitting - yippee!!!!
