December update

I finished all the hats and scarves on time! Great minds think alike I guess. My best friend decided to do the same thing, only by sewing fleece.

I'll be starting my Challenge soon. I'm going to get some finishes done this year. The only new things I'm going to allow myself are ornaments. I will be starting a new ornament on 1/1 - or at least that's the plan.

December 10, 2010

I've decided that I'm most definitely going to run out of thread for my letter J. I'm hoping to go to the xs store when I have time off for the Holidays. I'm afraid it's looking like I'll only be able to go to Elegant Stitch because it's closer. (Someone told me that gas is going to be up around $4.00/gal. again at Christmas. I hope not!)

I sent the email about the model and yes, it did arrive. Please check out X's and Oh's website, the Children category - Fly Me to the Moon.

The Dragon is still mostly a blob and the fairy still doesn't have much to her. But I did pick it up recently.

I finished Mom's blanket. I decided I didn't want to make it huge so it's just a lap blanket. Still, I was told it looks very good and it's warm!

Hats & Scarves - I'm up to 10 full sets done out of 19 and a few other hats done. Hats are the easy part, scarves take longer to make.

The Crochet ALong (CAL) was a lot of fun! And I learned how to do "new" things. Now I just have to stitch the squares together and I'll have a blanket to give. Just need to figure out who to give it to!

I haven't started another blanket for my sister's birthday. I don't think I'll have the time. Maybe I'll have to try to make something else. ???
