Christmas Knitting Complete
With the deepest apologies to those of you still in the thick of the holiday knitting frenzy, I present to you my completed Christmas knitting:
Project Specs:
Recipient: dear Gram, my husband's grandmother
Pattern: Knotted Open Work Scarf, by Wannietta Prescod
Yarn: Elann Peruvian Baby Cashmere, color Parchment, exactly 2 balls
Needles: Denise #8
Notes: A lovely, soft, drapey end product, but very boring to knit. I would do it again though because its so nice.
Project Specs:
Recipient: PumpkinBoy - this will be his Christmas Stocking from here on out.
Pattern: Holiday Stocking, Mary McCall
Yarn: Malabrigio merino worsted color "Forest" main color, 1 skein; Noro Cash Iroha color #33 contrast color, scraps
Needles: Denise #8 (magic looped)
Notes: Very quick and simple pattern. My first time with Malabrigio - OH.MY.GOD. this stuff is soft - softer than the Cash Iroha thats for sure. I'm fantasizing of a very close fitting pullover and and no shirt underneath. I am smitten with this yarn and must have more.
My WIP list is down to socks and the Butterfly vest (which needs a good stretch of uninterrupted time from me.) I have another large sweater project on the horizion - one that I'm very excited about, but its not for me. I'll tell you about it soon.

Congratulations. I'll be there soon, probably another week. Then it's memememememe!
Great job! You are did well on the deadlines for X-mas. I love your son's nickname. My girl is "pumpkin princess", but the boy is "Mr. Destructo" (he breaks everything he can get his hands on).
merry knitmas!
Lucky you. I'm getting there, but keep adding to the list.
Congratulations! I finished mine today, too.
It looks great! Your Grams will love it, I'm sure. :)
I was about to explode in a fit of jealous rage - then I realized that you weren't finished with your holiday knitting yet. Whew. I feel better. ;-)
Congratulations on finishing your Christmas knitting, with time to spare! I love how the scarf turned out, I'm sure your Gram will love it.
Cashmere scarf! It's beautiful. I love the stitch pattern. I wish I was Gram :-)
PumpkinBoy certainly has luxury stocking. Hopefully it will be filled with goodies this year.
