Yarn Along

It is Wednesday and I am joining Small Things in her weekly yarn along.  Why?  Cause I have committed myself to knitting all of my Christmas presents this year, minus a few other handmade items and some toys like the Millennium Falcon Lego set, for um…my son…not um…for me…at all.

Stop laughing.  I can hear you.

I have knitted exactly 2 things successfully in the past.  And I have knitted a few not so successful crooked scarfs.  And I have showed the terrible ones to you.  I really, really am wanting to learn how to knit hats too, a few different colored beanies for the winter.  After all, I don’t like to wear coats, so a vest with a hat should cover me!

Anyway, here is my project for this week, a shawl I started a couple months ago for my daughter, but I had just finished two back to back for gifts and then my son got his concussion and the summer got away from me.  She is still waiting for it, and I am only going to work on it at night so she doesn’t think she is getting it any time soon.  I want Christmas to be a bit more homemade than it was last year.
