Holy *@!%! It’s Christmas already?

Sunday, December 20th, 2009 | FO's, UFO's, blah blah blah, fiber, knitting, sweater

Man have I been a busy girl! It seems like December just flew by!

Well, as much as I said I was going to avoid Christmas giftie-type knitting, I just couldn’t. I say it every year and I always make *something*. This year I was prompted to get off my butt by my son. Even at 4 years old, that boy can appreciate Mommy’s crafting. He came up to me one night and flat out said “Mommy, I want a hat!” Thank goodness he asked for something easy! I walked him back to the stash and let him pick out his own yarn.

Of course, this also means I have to make a hat for my little girl too. She also visited the stash for some yarn.

So, in the midst of the Christmas knitting…I was working on my own projects. I finished my Vaya Shrug first…

Then I started and finished my Whisper Shrug…

The Whisper, in an unfinished state...

I don’t have any pictures of it completed yet, but it sure looks awesome blocked. I even bought some Habu Silk to make another…

Then I started a sweater that has no name, because it has no pattern. I am mixing and matching and making it up as I go along. I am knitting it with True Love Fiber yarn in Bruise that I got at Unwind. I am needing to get creative because I have two balls in one dyelot and one ball in another. So far it is looking pretty good.

I love this sweater!

OH….and that etsy shop I keep promising to start? Well, I am working on it, despite my not having put anything up online yet. I have been carding batts like a mad woman. I am sure poor Wendy would love her drum carder back…one of these days I will have to get one of my own.
