Jofrog is Knitfrog!
November 29 2005
My Thanksgiving break was SO NICE! It's been a really long time since I've had a few days off in a row with no real obligations. I got to spend a lot of time with family. I got to see a wonderful old friend, and I got very little knitting done in between! Any knitting that I did get to was unscheduled. No Smart Zip Jacket, no Missy Holiday Top, no socks even! My best friend and are doing a blanket swap for the holidays. She is a quilter, I'm a knitter, we are each making one for the other. The catch is, though this is a holiday gift, it was planned to be gifted after the new year, maybe as late as February. I think she's forgotten that part! ...so, if she has mine finished and brings it to our holiday party, I sure have to have something to show, even if it isn't done, right? Good news is, I know how big afghans are, and I got a great deal on some bulky weight wool/alpaca blend yarn at the end of the summer. Bulky, super warm, and soft afghan here we come! If I knit one ball of yarn a day I'll have it done by December 10th (our holiday party). It's a lot, but there is some leaway in there, and I'm doing my best. ...of course I'll be out of the house for the next three nights and I didn't work on it at all last night... maybe it will be a bit late afterall! It just gives me an excuse to drive out to her house to give it to her. Easing Back In
