Projects update....






Well, I decided I needed to share a few photos of some of the projects I'm working on.
The turquoise and brown beads will become a knitted cuff bracelet for my wonderful and beautiful daughter, Katie - and no, I'm not biased!

The second project that I am working on is a cross over front sweater for my wonderful and beautiful Mom - yes, it runs in the family, and no, I'm still not biased!
This sweater has had to be reworked at the shoulders to shorten them, and I'm going to use this to my advantage and do the seam as a three needle bind off. As you can see, I haven't gotten very far on the full length sleeves. I could blame the fact that I'm working them in the opposite direction from the written pattern which starts at the cuff and goes up the arm to end at the shoulder - but that's not really a problem for me, just taking the time to work on it and not putting it off in favor of more exciting projects! I know you all know what that's like!

Well, maybe I'll get the sweater done for my Mom by the time cold weather gets here... but that pretty green silk yarn is calling my name...
