Looking good!!!

I'm down to the trim on one arm and the buttons for Mrs. Claus. I hit a snag on the latest turkey's wings. I may just choose an alternate path for them as I like the colors, but the pattern is not working for me.

Lionbrand yarn went on sale yesterday at Joanns so I bought the yarn needed for the prayer shawl.

I prayed through the first of four skeins yesterday and will continue the shawl today.

I have to have it done so it gets delivered on or before her DH birthday on November 1st

[Bailey4]

Finished the 18" Mrs. Claus Dress and it will be delivered today to the person who will be giving it!!

 

Started a Pilgrim Dress for Skipper.

[tahlara]

Mid-October update: (massive changes again)

 

1. Finish the jester hats - Almost done with 1st hat, two more to go.

2. Start and finish 4 pairs of FGs - 1st pair need seaming, good progress on 2nd, the rest need gauge swatches

3. Reindeer xmas display (Dad don't want it, so I am making it for myself!)

4. Beaded Bangle - Changed mind, Found a cute jacobt pattern instead.

5. Janurary 3rd 2012's sweater - a birthday adult sweater for mom, still waiting on her final decision.

 

I didn't do much but I am doing good with hats and FGs. I decide to save the sweater for Nov. goals. The reindeer display will be a selfish project for me after I finish the xmas gifts. I need to order the yarns for it.

 

I am trying to take it easy this month. I learned my lesson about xmas gift burn-outs.

Mrs. Claus is now posted on my blog.

 

I have to revise the Skipper pattern into a skirt and top as the one piece does not work with her arms and the shorter look does not work for the period.

 

I am learning to work with yarn bobbins and restarted the last of the children's afghans I have to finish for Christmas.

 

I found the doll afghan patterns yesterday so I can choose one for the 18" dolls. I have the yarn left over from the afghan I made for the doll's owner.

 

I still need to get Pilgrim outfits made for Skipper, Barbie, Kelly, the other sister, and the American Girl doll.

well couldn't finish my blanket but doesn't mean I can't work on my friend's wrap. So going to work on that so far school is going great. Again we had a debate this time on education so half of the class wanted me to remain their leader because I know what I'm talking about this was in political science this went on. In my English class I am doing well the last paper was an A the whole unit was an A so far doing good in the class this weekend will be working on my paper want to maintain that A in the class.

Almost done with the Prayer Shawl. I just need to sew a pocket on it.

That must feel good.

Started the 18" doll blanket that will match the child's blanket and it seems to be a good fit.

 

Started Mom's afghan and I may be frogging and looking for a new option. I'm not crazy with the look. I have some other options and it could end up as a birthday instead of Christmas if it doesn't make the finish line.

 

Getting the yarn bobbins tomorrow so I should be able to resume work on the last of the children's Christmas afghans I need to make for relatives.
