Well it's been awhile since I last posted...too busy seems to the best explanation. I finished quite a few projects before the Christmas Holidays. Two multidirectional scarfs, another modified Coco bag, 3 Noro felted nesting boxes, and quite a few ballband dishcloths so the holidays had quite a bit of handknits as gifts.
I should post the pics, but I haven't downloaded them so they'll follow later. I just completed a black Coco bag for myself. I love the shape of the bag and the beads I'll be using to fashion a closure. Now I only have two projects on the needles- one Irish Hiking Scarf ( http://www.helloyarn.com/irishhikingcarf.htm ) in chocolate brown Galway and a blue Berroco Ultra Alpacha yarns. It's my first cable project and it's turning out terrific. The Ultra Alpacha yarn is so very soft.
My other project could take a tad bit longer to complete. It's another modern log cabin (pattern from Mason Dixon Knitting). Although it is only going to be 48" x 72". Not nearly the queen size of my last blanket. I'm using all Brown Sheep's Nature Spun in four colors: scarlet, sunburst gold, blue knight and grecian olive. I'm on the fourth block and I really hope to finish by March 1st. Not sure it will happen with all that will be going on around here in the next few weeks. More on that later.....
