My first Christmas FO!!
I have finished the first in my list of holiday knits...and no it's not the big gift that I'm giving. (which many of you know about) But still...I can check one off the list! Yay! It's such a good feeling to be getting things done! My Mom brought down 3 sweaters (one for her and 2 baby sweaters) that just needed to be sewn up, so she's coming home with at least 3 FO's. We are on a roll!
Yesterday my Mom and I ran over to Jessica Knits, my favorite local Arizona yarn shop, and stayed for a couple hours. We looked through patterns, and books, and sale yarn. Plus they had a trunk show from Lace Style visiting the shop. I picked up an old Rowan magazine that I had been searching for and my Mom got a sweet deal on some chunky Rowan Tweed. I did walk out with one super fun thing...my new necklace! Love it. Gotta get back to my knitting, have a great weekend!
Sounds like you need to get away to Arizona more often--is there something in the water down there that helps you get projects done? If so, bring some of it back ;)
Love the necklace!
