I just haven't had the heart to keep this blog running lately. Now that wedding season is over, we're ankle deep in holiday season! I'll still be around but not regularly!
I don't think I ever told you I finished two items - a shawl with the brooks farm yarn for me, and a capelet that I didn't even end up wearing at the wedding! I don't have photos of either yet but I will eventually. The brooks farm shawl was easy (self fringing) and REALLY fast (size 15 needles). I need to make a second for my mom for either christmas or her birthday.
I also started a multi-directional scarf in my noro silk garden for me, I also need to do a hat for myself. It's starting to get cold so I need to hurry!! And I may make something for my brother's fiance, whose birthday is coming up. I'm not sure what I'll make for her yet... and I have the yarn to do a vegan fox (from knitty.com) but I'm not sure if I'll do one, or who wil get it.... hmm.... (and I was going to avoid any holiday knitting! oh well.)
Speaking of the new knitty for winter - I'm not thrilled... I don't know why. Maybe because I'm not making a sweater anytime soon, and although I like some of them they wouldn't be flattering on me even if I did make one. For winter I would have hoped to see a few more simple quick knits for gift ideas. (oh yeah. I'm not knitting gifts. Keep reminding me of that, please?)
although I like the wine bottle holder, I'd rather do a felted one (which I have seen elsewhere online, can't recall at the moment...)
Later.
