US 6/4mm 24" Circs
I thought I knew what I was making for my mother. She is moving back up North just before Christmas and I thought a nice warm cowl (Gaptastic? Pretty Thing?) would be just the thing. Then while perusing an LYS closeout sale, I found a few balls of Fibranatura Heaven in the Autumn Leaves color way. My mother is all about earth tones and these colors are just perfectly her. I quickly grabbed the six remaining balls and started searching for the perfect pattern.
After much hemming and hawing, I finally decided on the Wingspan scarf/shawl. It is fast easy and is really shows off variegated yarns beautifully. I cast on the Sunday before last (while watching "Captain Phillips", an excellent movie) and finished this past Tuesday. Including the time it took me to cast on and knit the first two wedges twice (once with a US 7/4.5mm needles, and then again with US 6/4mm needles), it took 9 days to finish. I worked on it everywhere, home, church, the movies, and even, as you can see, Medieval Times (where we celebrated T1's 21st birthday).
This means that my two most important Christmas presents (Sis and Mom) are done, done, done and it is only just mid-November. This is me feeling very accomplished.
