{On The Needles}

Have you been wondering if I've really been knitting lately? hehe  Thought I'd give you a quick update!


Here's the very beginning of the first panel of my Nympheas in Baby Cashmerino. YUM.  I lerve knitting with this stuff.  It did great on the plane and in the car because it's super easy to memorize the pattern. This is one whole ball completed and I have yet to ball up the next one so I can keep going. 

Of course, the instant I got home from vacation I had to revise my Christmas Knitting list, so the cute sweater for me will have to wait.  Today I cast on for some flip top mittens in Knit Picks Wool of the Andes for my brother in law.   More on those once I have something substantial to show you.

And I've also cast on and completed a Ribbed Lace Bolero as a thank you gift to my next door neighbor for taking care of Popeye while we were gone.  She didn't want money but when I asked her if there was something I could knit her instead she didn't hesitate before she said "SHRUG!" hehe  I brought it to her tonight and she loves it, but she was in no condition to take a picture, she said. I'll snap a shot tomorrow for you guys of the fo.

I'm kind of scared of my Christmas knitting list at the moment and I really want to make more headway on it before School starts in TWO WEEKS.  Two weeks!  I have my textbooks ordered and tonight I'm going to place an order for my organizer.  Can't live without one of those.  So overall, I'm about ready to head back to school.  I can't believe it's right around the corner.
