Christmas Yarn

Ironstone English Mohair
Mohair, Wool, Nylon
89 yds/ 40g ball
Some shade of purple
(pardon the mess, the cat got to this one before I could take pictures)

Berroco Danie
Rayon, Cotton, Nylon
Some shade of Purple

This isn't all of the Christmas yarn, but now that classes have started up again I might not have a lot of interesting knitting about which to blog. I'll space out the boring stuff with pictures of the Christmas yarn!

Right now the big project on needles is a wedding gift for my cousin who is getting married in April. I'm excited for him, but I've got a lot of work to do between now and then.

Coming Soon!


Clementine Shawlette in some purple stuff I got for Christmas (label-less)

I had some surprise travel plans added to my January and haven't been able to take pictures of the Christmas travel knitting until today. My apologies. I'm not quite up to plowing through all of the yarn details to post all of those pictures for you yet, but I promise they will come soon! For now, please know that I'm thinking yarny thoughts in your direction and happily working on my many UFOs.

Home again!

Completed over Christmas:
One knitted amoeba:Which when folded correctly and sewn becomes:
My very first BSJ! Its so cute! I do need to find buttons for it, but the knitting and seaming are done. Its mostly Paton's Classic Merino, but I ran out and used some leftover sock yarn (double stranded) for the last few inches and the button band.

While I did not complete as much knitting as I wanted, I did turn out this lovely quilt top with the help of my aunt and uncle. Hooray for craftiness!
I'll post pictures of the newest bits of stash as soon as I can unpack enough to take pictures.
