I’m working on a pair of the Dashing fingerless mitts for my dad using LL Worsted – mmm, is that a soft fiber or what! I love doing the mitts in worsted because they take so little time yet look wonderful. Just ordered two more skeins in the same colorway of LL Worsted because DH has been eyeing my dad’s mitts jealously – he doesn’t like mitts, but he does like socks…

I’m looking forward to getting the Christmas knitting done so I can get back to my socks – as I look around me, there are seven WIPs scattered across my desk in addition to the two shawls, scarf and mitts. So much to do, so little time…

Oh I got lots of knitting done, a dog hoodie for my brother’s dog for Christmas (my parents take him to my daughter’s soccer games and in when it gets colder in October the poor dog is FREEZING. I got a pair of socks done for my daughter, working on my mom’s Christmas present and my brother in laws socks for Christmas along with a hoodie sweater for my own dog. i’ll be knitting for a while

I finished a pair of mitts in Madelinetosh worsted. This is such wonderful yarn. I’m going to have to use this again in a bigger project. I’m now working on my second shawl in LL Worsted. I can definitely see a sweater out of this in my future. Thanks for stocking both of these fabulous yarns.

I don’t know what’s cuter, those mitts or College Girl hiding behind them! Sounds like a good weekend! I’m juggling a lot of Christmas knitting right now, so I did a few more inches on a scarf, a few more rows on a shawl, a few more rounds on a sock…you know. Looking forward to getting at least one thing off the needles so I can start Mara for me!

I finished some charity knitting–a hat and some mittens. Working on Christmas knitting now. I put my wishlist out to my relatives. I hope they’ll be purchasing some yarn for me from you soon!

I did a little work on a shawl for a friend. I worked, and was tired, so I had to quit because I was falling asleep with a stitch half off the needle! I am using some Patons Lacette and a pattern out of Cheryl Oberle’s “Folk Shawls”. Fuzzy stuff!

I made sunshine socks out of the Yo-Yo string and now am doing a feather and fan scarf out of Trekking.

I love the mitts – both of them. They don’t even look like the same pattern which I am sure made College Girl very happy. No mother – daughter matching….

I got a Hat fit for a Boyfriend done in Malabrigo. Soft, warm, fast knit that my son will love. And just to get out of the Xmas gift rush I started a pair of the Shibui leggings in Kiwi for a co-worker’s “baby in progress”. My fellow Loopy co-workers and I have lots to knit for this spring baby. Totally loving it.

I did get knitting done over the weekend! I was even able to block it, my very pretty Hamsa, a little boring to knit toward the end but the finished project is gorgeous- http://www.ravelry.com/projects/eatmyoxygen/hamsa

Now I just need to get off my duff and wind some yarn for another shawl.
