I finished two monsters, which I turned in for HPKCHC Quidditch Round 2. Here’s the Official Stats:
Before I left for Baltimore, I ordered a Jamieson & Smith color card for their lace weight yarns. I have this fantasy of knitting a traditional wedding shawl using the Jamieson & Smith Shetland yarns. The color cards came while I was away.
Against my better judgment, I stayed up until 11:00 pm Wednesday night, finishing up this Quinn Bag, even though I had to be up at 5:30 am so I could be out the door at 6:15 am to pick up my mother and head to the airport to attend my sister’s medical school graduation. I wanted to finish the project before I left because I was going to see the recipient. Technically, I could have brought it with me and finished it before she left on Saturday, but once I got started, I just kept going until I was done.
In last week’s post, I told you I wasn’t sure what to bring with me as travel knitting while attending my sister’s graduation in Baltimore. I broke my general rules of travel knitting, and brought 6 skeins of yarn for 3 different projects. It’s a good thing, as I ended up having a lot more time to craft than I expected. I used part or all of 5 of the skeins, and worked on all 3 projects!
It’s WIP Wednesday. I finished the Palindrome Scarf this week and already blogged about that. The Quinn Bag and Granny Square blanket that I posted about in last week’s WIP Wednesday are still in progress, and I’ve started two new projects. SPOILER ALERT: If you, dear reader, happen to be a woman on my Christmas gift giving list, you might want to avoid this post, as one of the new projects is a Christmas gift!
