Happy Monday Everyone!

Okay, here is the latest quiz making the rounds:

Which Fantasy/SciFi Character Are You?

I had a rather productive knitting weekend, though since I worked on holiday projects I can’t tell you what I was working on! Lets just say I got a lot of stitches done!

The one project I can mention is that I bought some yarn, Lion Brand – some sort of bulky stuff- to make a shawl for my grandmother. She isn’t online and probably has no idea what a blog is so I can talk about her gift without fearing she’ll read this! I don’t often use LB, I tend to prefer natural fibers (with the exception of some novelty yarns) and I’ve only gotten “worse” about this since becoming a spinster! (Yikes, I’m a spinster!) However, my Grams is getting up there (she’ll be 82 this spring) and easy care is a major factor in what we give her these days. Hand washing of things just isn’t going to happen and since the cat doesn’t need a new felted bed that badly, she is getting a washable 80% acrylic/20% wool shawl. I plan to knit it up something similar to the purple shawl from hell that I did for myself, though I may do a simpler stitch pattern (Grams is also blind in one eye so complicated stitches are lost on her anyway. Basically, I want to make her something warm she can toss over her shoulders while watching her tv. . . . So I got a pine green bulky yarn and I’ll be breaking out the size 11 needles to whip this out!

Alright, back to work. Lots to do today. I’ll post again tomorrow if at all possible.
