The bad, the good, and the future

Fall #1:

Bad.

Fall #2:

Good.

Siblings:

Homespun left over from prayer shawls, plain stockinette.

(finished in October)

Twins (fraternal):

Ballband pattern. You can tell the spirit of Christmas colors is upon me!

(also finished in October)

This brings the total number of hats to 50! Had it not been for Fall #1, my 2011 goal of knitting 52 hats from acrylic stash would have been complete during Fall #2. I hardly did any knitting the past few weeks- just popped pain pills, slept, and hugged the heating pad! I have awesome family and friends who kept me fed and cheered.


I  read 2 more "antique" books: one traced the adventures of 3 young girls on a summer outing in the New York mountains; the other traced a teenager getting her first job so she could help her family during a difficult time.

The Christmas project has been chosen. I saw it on one of the blogs I read and was smitten. The icing on the cake is that I can use more of my acrylic stash! Of course, I will not reveal the details until later...

 Monday, it is back to work at the library, back to knitting 2 more hats, ahead to starting the Christmas project...I'm just thankful to be in motion again!
