Slow Going

Well my Christmas knitting is moving rather slow. The two hats I knitted I donated to be sent  to Sandy victims.

On a lighter note I am almost finished with my with fingerless mitten gloves.

I will also have to make a couple of new hats as the ones I made last year for the men are evidently not warm enough. So I will make the hats to match the mitten/gloves.

Christmas knitting

I have started my Christmas knitting have desided that I would give all the female members of the family hats and fingerless gloves for the men.

So far I have one hat finished and one three quarters finished. I have also started on my first pair of the fingerless gloves.

Wednesday

Well the first month of the year is almost over. I have not yet completed any projects but have started two and trying to figure out yarn for a third (Sugar Plum Fairy) and fourth (Elmsfeuer). 

The first project I have started is a Lace Shawl KAL by SusannaIC. I have completed all three clues. After completing Clue 2 and before started Clue 3 I ripped it out because I wanted to add more beads.

The second project I started is a top down sweater from a cap sleeve sweater a local yarn shop owner and I am trying to recreate the sweater except I will make my sweater with long sleeves with the lace pattern down the sleeve as well.

I am still trying to finish the jacket for my niece. I have completed right front and the back. Still have to finish the left front and the sleeves and then I have to place it in the mail. She will be able to use it in the spring when the weather breaks in Chicago.
