‘IT’ happened

Yep, just like Stephanie predicted, IT has happened, to me.   Rather than spend all the time it would take me to type (in my six fingered fashion) a description of IT, just go over and read about IT.  I’m not the only one, there are tons of us out there, who suddenly, yesterday, or whenever too recently, realized that Christmas is really only TWO.WEEKS. AWAY.  That’s it.  Except, I remembered Saturday that I wanted to make a special present for a special person and I hadn’t started it.  I hadn’t even wound the yarn into balls.  Yeah, WHOA…. that’s IT.  It is on the needles now, my sweater thrown aside on the floor, the Backyard Leaf Scarf on top of it, and another new project has begun.

The Wool Peddler’s Shawl, using my hand dyed merino / silk yarn in Aegean.  Knit on a #7 Aero circ.

There’s another new kid in town.  Check out the new online spindler’s magazine, Spindlicity.  It is in it’s infancy, not a lot of info yet, but a promising new onliner that deserves a kudos for it’s first issue.

  1. I admire the stitch marker. I’m going to see if I have one just like it. Tis the season.

  2. Ooohh……..Pretty colors!!

  3. Gosh pretty colors! Lucky recipient! And spindlecity with the spindled shawl contest – I can’t wait to see the winners of that. Oh, and the editor of spindlicity has a poncho in the recent SO. You can catch her blog at http://electricladybug.blogspot.com/

  4. Another Paddler! I guess this means that it really is a fun pattern to knit, eh? πŸ™‚ I’m still cogitating about one in the same color family as your original version. I really love that one.

  5. Those colors are gorgeous; they really work well with the pattern.

  6. Pretty colours in the new shawl. I’ve got IT too but I know I’ve got no hope cos I am moving this weekend and cleaning this old place all next week…. sigh. My O/S friends will just have to deal and as for family – they will understand! (crosses fingers)
