Wow, Dec 27th were have I been?

Wow, I hadn't realized how long it's been since I posted. It was Dec 27th when I last posted.
Where has the time gone?
So what's on the needles?

I finished the yoke of the minnimissimo sweater coat. I have been using all of my "at home knitting time" for this one project. Very unusual for me. I'm not a one project knitter. I am much more confortable with multiple projects, but I have had so little knitting time that I really have only had the time for this one. It's really pretty isn't it?




This is my knit group project. It's Dexter ,a new pattern from the Zephyr girls. It's a bit further then the picture shows but not much, because I haven't had any knit group time. My knit group meets on Saturdays now and I can't do Saturdays because of work and family. I'm thinking about running down to the Scarlet Skien and doing some knitting, on like, tuesdays. I have been getting tuesdays off and it's only about 20 minutes from home. Will see.





I have the front and sides done of the sipala bag. I was working on this in January. I set it aside to work on the sweater coat .


I also took some time to make a noro scarf. I have been dreaming of having one of these, since way back when Jared Flood posted his. It's soooo pretty. I used 5 skiens of Silk garden. I have 3 different color ways in mine. I also cheated and didn't do the 1x1 rib because I know I would never ever finish it that way so I knit mine as a tube. It's about 7 feet long. I was going to stop at 6 but the colors were so pretty I kept going. I have a couple tails to weave in and then it's done.
