Tuesday night, Belinda of Fishy Kiss Knits, invited me to her knitting circle. It was held at Knit One Chat Too in Calgary. What an amazing store....so much yarn I want there! (I can hardly wait for a sale there!) Allison the owner is so nice and friendly she immediately put me at ease. And the other ladies in the knitting circle are all equally as friendly. Erica who also works part time in the store is so friendly and she is so knowledgable. Next time I must remember to take my camera to share pictures here.
My Cap Sleeve Pullover is almost done....just 1 1/2" to go on the neckline and sew in the loose threads. However, I am not crazy about how the instructions are written for the neckline. I find them a little unclear, so I have tried to follow the picture in the Mag. to clarify it further. I find one side of the neckline is working out that way, but I am not pleased with the other side. I thought about ripping it out and redoing it, however I have no ideas of how I would do it differently. I would still end up with the same finished product. So, I plug away on it. Hopefully I will be able to wear it for my company Christmas party Saturday night.
On Hudson I am making steady progress, the back is complete and the left front is completed too. I am 3/4 done on the right front. It has been an easy knit so far....mindless knitting. It has been so easy so far that in my mind I can see doing this pattern again and again using different colors and incorporating different ideas for trim on the sweater....(such as fur trim on the hood, etc...)
My middle son plans this Christmas to give his girlfriend a "Promise Ring". She is such a sweet girl, I am really happy for them. She already calls me Mom and has asked me to teach her to knit after Christmas. She wants to make a scarf for herself. I figured for Christmas I would make a scarf for her combining some Red Heart Soft I had in my stash and some Bernat Eyelash yarn. so far I am very pleased with how these two yarns are working up together. It makes for a super soft scarf.
What are you knitting for Christmas?
