I got nuthin’.
How about some eye candy?
Fleece Artist Cashlana, 90% cashmere, 10% wool, three skeins in an excellent mossy green. 1200 metres, for a sweater.
Socks that Rock lightweight, Gingerbread Dude. 2 skeins, for knee socks.
Have a great weekend! I’ve got lots planned. Maybe I’ll fit in some knitting, too.
Just kidding. We all know I knit nonstop.
So it occurs to me that, as it does every year, that Christmas is sneaking up on me. It might be the piles of work that lay between me and it (both paid and unpaid), or maybe just denial. At any rate, the knitting list?
– super secret project #1 – alllllmost done. I’m hoping to finish up the seam today.
– noro blanket – no further along than the last time I posted.
– xmas gift #1, socks – 1 sock done! Thank goodness for sportweight yarn.
– xmas gift #2, bolero – back and one front done. Need to get on that.
– xmas gift #3, shawl – I’d say 75% done.
It’s in worsted weight tweed, on 5.5 mm needles, so it is going pretty fast. Unfortunately, the yarn (Classic Elite Skye Tweed) is crocking off on my fingers – they turn black after just a few rows! So that’s making it a bit sucky.
You know, I guess that’s really it. It just seems so daunting. And then there’s the paid working (on a deadline) that needs to get done as well.
How on earth am I going to finish everything??
I’ve only got a few minutes to blog, but I wanted to show you all something cool –
This is my handspun Romney knit up – I love it! It’s a nice light, cohesive fabric with a pleasant woolyness.
And actually fairly consistent too. Now, if only I could scare up the time to work on it!
P.S. No newsletter yet, but we’ve got Socks that Rock at lettuce knit – have at it!
