Well, I think the Christmas knitting for the family is definitely done. Once a sock (naturally the second in the pair) is done that I was commissioned to do all the Christmas knitting is done. This has opened up time to work on other projects that I have wanted to work on.
I got some beautiful 100% Mink yarn at Driftwood Yarns in Mystic. Let me say that this Lotus Yarns Mimi is divine to work with. It is smooth, soft, and if you have to tink or frog, it doesn't make a tangled mess. I am not one that works with thinner than sock weight yarn much, but this is one yarn that I would be more than happy to work with. The pattern I am doing is lace so I have put in lifelines with some waste sock yarn.
Driftwood Yarns is also an absolutely wonderful LYS. The owner is very friendly, always willing to help, and has a great sense of humor. It is always a pleasure to go and shop or visit.
When I'm not knitting, I am sewing. The crazy quilt is growing, slowly, but surely. Today it was pot holders. I got some material called Insul-Bright and decided it was time to replace the pot holders that are here at home. Now I'm on a kick of making more. I'll have to get some photos in the daytime and post them. Just have to remember.
