Dianne and I have a little bit of Christmas in July going on. She's doing a new Aran Christmas stocking and I finished a new Fair Isle stocking and am working on one with holly appliques and multiples of stitch patterns.
Just finished a top down cardigan for my grandaughter's birthday on Sat. Liked it so much that I'm going to do another one and make a pattern out of it.
Doing our One Skein Malabrigo baby sweater for a shower on Sat. It works up quickly and we do love that Malabrigo yarn.
Brought in to Miss Chickpea's a new pattern called the Anne vest. It sold out the first day. We were excited.

Christmas Stockings

Kathy has been working on a series of new Christmas stocking patterns that inspired me to get busy and work on a new Aran stocking that I've been meaning to do for some time. Sometimes it's amazing how everything comes together - I started on Wednesday and it's almost finished not quite a week later. It turned out to be a good travel project back and forth to St. Louis
I always marvel how knitting allows you to take some yarn and needles and create something brand new.
