The FO report

Short and sweet - since all the people who care can see the info on Ravelry:

1 - Gram's Nautilus hat in Merino Bulky from Handpaintedyarn. A Christmas knit!
2 - Amelia's Koolhaas in Cascade 220. Another Christmas knit!
3 - Celtic Cable Hat for Trevor, which is GORGEOUS. I recommend this pattern to anyone who wants to learn more about cabling. This is also a Christmas knit!

So, yeah, I'm totally busting out the Christmas presents right now.

I'm about to start the specs on a faire isle hat that's going to be for Logan's dad and my uncle. And maybe my brother in law too, since it seems like something he would like. We'll see.

Feeling Accomplished...


And daunted by what's to come.

I finally got through pattern repeat #12. That means time to bind off. The rows were seriously getting way too long for me to deal with and honestly, the last row was the row from hell. Other than that, it was a pretty fun project.




So, what's to come? Well, knitted on edging to be precise. I've never done one. I'm kinda scared of messing up this shawl, because I've already put so much time into it.

Solution? A test run. Tomorrow I'm going to knit a test swatch of 1 pattern repeat and try knitting an edging on. Wish me luck!
