Let’s just be honest, once I knew last weekend there was no way to get George’s sweater, the Jefferson, done in time for his trip this Friday I gave up knitting full speed on it. I am still knitting it. Actually it is the only hand knit project I am working on at the moment. I have the crocheted granny square blanket but I put that aside in hopes of finishing the Jefferson. Unfortunately the knitting machine has temporarily taken over. Yesterday I messed around trying different yarns, most of which did not work out so well. So I broke out a bunch of different cone yarns to try. I found a super-winner!
100 stitches by 400 rows in just under 2 hours!! Once I get the edging finished I will take a picture wearing it so you can see the size, it’s the perfect large shawl!
Last night Suzanne, Tracy & I met for some coffee, knitting & Ross. Surprise! We ran into Summers & Jayme out for dinner! It was a nice surprise, they had been to Solvang and Summers had on the cutest windmill solvang t~ I am so jealous & getting myself one dammit!
Suzanne came bearing gifts, which always makes me want to yell Yippee!!! She gave me a poncho/capelet that she made and found it was the wrong size. I love it!! And it smells so good, Suz, you always smell soooo goooood!!!!
Isn’t it so pretty with the greens, so many greens! I have never met another with my love of all things green!
My dad loved his felted clogs! They were a tad too big but that is the good thing about felted gifts! They are easily resized.
I need to finish my sisters socks that are a just because gift. I need to get the lace scarf for my mom finished before Mother’s Day. I am making the Trellis Scarf using Knitpicks 
Gossamer in color Red Hat.
Other than that I am free to do whatever I want. I will finish the Jefferson sweater before I start anymore sweaters. It may be tough not to cast on for the Vogue microspun sweater.
