Hurray! Ginny is doing Yarn Along again this year. It really helps keep me knitting a project until it's done. I like show and tell :)
I'm working on my sister's birthday present. This pattern is great. I have the yoke nearly finished with just 3 hours of pre-new year's knitting. I'll be doing the version of the Shalom sweater that has 3/4 length sleeves. I can't believe one ball of wool is enough!
I'm also whipping up 2 more pairs of felted mittens. The ones for Gregory were a bit too big, so I told his Mom she could have those ones and I'd make a new pair for Gregory. I'm also making a pair for a girl that works with Colin's sister Elizabeth.
This week I'm reading my new autographed book by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee (aka Yarn Harlot) -All Wound Up. She's so funny, but it's hard to explain to non-knitters -they just don't get it :) Did I mention I have a fabulous sister? Even though she doesn't knit, she went to Stephanie's reading just to get me a signed copy!

Sounds like a good book. Very nice mittens! They look warm...
They are the best mittens. Warm and toasty, nearly wind-proof and fairly wet snow resistant. They're just the thing to keep little fingers warm.
