Finished Object Friday

Happy Friday.  I hope everyone had a great day.  I've already been to exercise this morning, trying to make up for the pie and cake.

I love baby knits.  Cute and fast!  Finished in just two days, here is my Whirligig Shrug.

Thanks to all of you who said you share my problem of not knowing how big babies are.  I think she will grow into it.  I have some yarn left over but not sure if it is enough for slippers.

I have big plans to work on blocking my Aran sweater today.  I am almost done with tech editing the pattern.  I should have been writing while I knitted but oh well.  With luck it will be sewn up and ready for the collar to be knitted on by Monday.  We'll see.

Head over to Tami's to see lots of great finished objects.  Perhaps its the holiday or upcoming gift giving that is inspiring lots of knitting.

Work in Progress Wednesday

Now that I am mostly past my deadline knitting, (see yesterday's post) I'm back to posting on Wednesday's.  It just didn't make sense to post when no one but me could tell the progress from week to week.  And there is a good chance I'll have finished objects for the next three weeks!  I shouldn't jinx it.

Two days ago, I started the Whirligig Shrug for our cousins baby girl who is expected in late March.  I love baby knits when you know the people involved.  Mostly because you can zoom right through them.  I should finish in a day or two.

This is in a multi-color cotton with light pinks through a maroony red and khaki color.  Machine wash and dryable and a natural fiber.  I'm making the smallest size but am a bit above gauge.  It may be a grow into garment - or not if it is a big baby.  I'm a bad judge at such things.

We've had company this last day.  My husband's aunt and uncle snow bird in the Rio Grande Valley - that is when people from cold snowy places spend the winter in warmer climates.  We are fortunate to be on the migration route and get to see them twice a year on their way down and then back up.  They are great fun and we always have a blast with them.

You know the drill.  Over at Tami's there are lots of great works in progress.  Have a great Thanksgiving for those of you in the US.
