It is not true that I have procrastinated from working on my projects.... only from blogging! In between running errands and my usual chores at home, I still found the time to knit and was able to finish and send off (to CA) my cousin's baby afghan. It's a 29" x 29" square and is very pretty. I actually want a lavander one for myself! (without the hood of course!) I also sent the cream beret hat to my friend Anne and the ribbed hat in roanoke gold to her twin, Grace. Anyway, they all should have gotten it already by yesterday and I really hope they liked it.
Here is where I am now with the baby sweater. I know I am taking such a long time to finish it... but it's my first sweater --- and my first time to do intarsia. It's fun to knit but kinda difficult. I have already sewn together the sides of the sleeves and the body... I just need my instructor to help me sew the 3 pcs together and to teach me how to do the neckline. I sure hope I'll be able to give this to our friend's baby before winter is over! haha!
I found some nice Lion's wool at the Hobby Lobby last week and tried to make the beautiful cabled clutch bag which I found in my One-Skein Wonders book. Unfortunately, until now, I couldn't find the right bamboo sticks to use as handle. I've seen some round and square plastic (bag) handles at Michael's and Hobby Lobby... but found no bamboo sticks. Oh well. I just have to keep searching, I guess. If anyone knows where I can find a pair, I'd appreciate it if you'll let me know. :)
Last week, I re-organized my knitting baskets and found more unfinished projects. If there is such a thing as a Second Sock Syndrome (SSS), I have the SMS ---- Second Mitten Syndrome. Sucks. I could've made a pair already by now if I just used the same kind of yarn! :P
