Check out the progress, can you believe it? Then you can also believe that I have been distracted by another new project. A really cute baby bolero for some friends of mine who just had a baby girl. Back to Dr Who-I have had a lot of help from friends to get the length on this scarf and they are even asking where it is to work on it some more. I could get all of my xmas knitting done this way. The yarn I'm using is Nature Spun Sport from Brown Sheep. It's inexpensive, comes in great colors and the websites for Dr Who recommend it.

Dr Who Update


Unfortunately for you guys I am really excited every time this scarf grows so you might just see every painful moment! I am still having fun with it-yes I knock on wood every time I say that. I have also received some help from customers and coworkers (Thank you!). Hopefully you will see more progress soon.

Doctor Why?



You may ask what I was thinking when I decided to start a Doctor Who scarf, well, that's a good question. My extremely tall uncle (who is one of my favorites) requested it and frankly I'd rather make him a really long scarf than a sweater. The scarf is a good mindless project...because I'll lose my mind making it! Ok-it will be good for movie theaters, right? At least they are pretty colors and I will have another xmas present ready.

Another FO! I'm on a roll. This was so fun to knit and felt. The icord finishing and seaming at the same time was awesome. I had so much fun playing with these colors that I want to make another! I must confess, I started a new project this weekend. But my excuse is that it is christmas knitting. I usually get into that mood about this time of year-I wish I felt this way in February.

My TENTH and eleventh finished project!

Can you believe it? I hardly can. The orange socks-I have nicknamed them lifesavers socks because they look like the candy with these bright colors-these are the famous tenth finished project! They have been in my stash for quite awhile, they are made out of Cherry Tree Hill's supersock. The blue ones are made out of Dream in Color's Smooshy. The pattern is little arrowhead lace from More Sensational Knitted Socks (I love these books). They are my moms birthday socks. Her birthday is a week away-always good motivation for finishing a project. I am still continuing to work on unfinished projects..somehow. I did bring home some yarn for a pair of fair isle socks, but I am trying to delay the cast on. Ok gotta get back to knitting and some laundry too.
