This last week I actually managed to complete to more project for the Christmas stash. I think that puts me roughly a quarter of the way through this thing.

I suspect that everyone has their pattern and proverbial doo doo together by now. So start date on the KAL.... This coming Saturday!

This weekend, I was just sitting at my desk, bored and had nothing to do. Then out of the corner of my eye, I say this ball of yarn staring at me intently.

Because I have done it!

I have finally gotten into Ravelry! I have ravelried myself!

We had our 3rd Knit and Crochet group meeting Thursday evening here in Murfreesboro. I think things went well. Several people left early, Most stayed until the library closed.

Hey guys,

I have started a sweater in fingering weight yarn, a cotton/wool blend. The pattern is K5, P3 all the way up the body.
