Yarn Along -18 January 2012

I’ve got some new progress to show this week.  My sister’s Shalom sweater is coming along nicely.  If you want an instant gratification kind of sweater, this is the one.  And the yarn I am using makes it feel like a cloud.  I sure hope my sister likes the sweater.

A certain little princess is having her first ‘non family’ birthday party.  So I’m reading The Birthday Book.   It has some neat ideas/traditions I’m going to try.  One idea is a pair of birthday socks for ‘stepping into the new year’.  I whipped up a pair of these for Ella.  The easy pattern is here.

Now to see what the others are doing for Yarn Along.
