Even though once again, foiled by the BIL and his handi-work (this year it was stitched-up fancy napkins), I think my MIL liked the turtle. I barely finished it on time and forgot to take a picture before I boxed and wrapped it.
I decided to start now of Christmas stockings for next year. My DH had to buy some on Christmas Eve at the dollar store because we couldn’t find any anywhere. I may also make knitted presents next year as well.
I’ve been busy this week knitting up a turtle using the Sheldon pattern from knitty.com (Winter 2006). He’s too cute. I ran into a yarn emergency though because 1 skein of the MC was not enough (and no, I did not check my gauge).
He should be done today!
the bobble hat
well, I finished the bobble hat. too bad I didn’t figure out how to do the bobbles until the end.
isn't she cute?
I honestly don’t know where the time goes. It seems like I am just here posting, but the next thing I know, months have gone by.
I have been doing some knitting. My daughter requested a white hat, so I made her the bobble hat from Charmed Knits: Projects for Fans of Harry Potter
I am still working on the Huug and the Lace Sweater and the purple sweater and the dish cloths…. I also started 2 baby hats for gifts using some new Cascade Fixation yarn.
It was on October 21st 2007 that I re-started the back of the Cables & Lace sweater after the puppy destroyed it, and I finally finished it last night! whoo hoo!
Also, a teacher at the grade school started a knitting club after school that I went to with my daughter on Friday. Too fun. A ton of people showed up, most of whom had never knitted a stitch. As a lefty, I was able to show the two other lefties present how I knit. We’re making “Huugs”. I’ve finished one leg. My daughter doesn’t seem to want to knit at all, but she said she had fun. We’ll see.
