Ok, so I'm a slacker.
I have been busy moving to GA, packing, unpacking. I am just about to get into the swing of knitting again. I ventured out yesterday to the closest yarn shop I could find - the Needle Nook - it was a bit small but an awsome selection, baby grande, noro, irish wools, oh so much yarn - I was in heaven. I did not buy any yarn this trip but I did get a book, Easy Knitted Accessories, there are a few patterns in there that I wnat to make. The ladys there were real nice. The told me about the AKG (Atlanta Knitting Guild) and I am thinking about checking it out, hell I need to make some friends. That is about all for now so here is a finished project for you.
I made this for my husbands mother, she loves it and it will keep her very warm this comming winter since it is 50% alpaca and 50% wool :)
I am still working on orange warmth, slowly, I have decided to make matching fingerless gloves for her also... she can not wait!

More awesome Secret Pal gifts!
I came home after a really terrible day at work to find presents! It was just what I needed. I immediatly tore open my bag to see my goodies. And my pal did not dissapoint me. I recieved a small knitting bag, perfect for when I don't want to carry my big bag around. I have some super soft cotton yarn - 2 skeins each of Cleckheaton Fiddle De Dee and Heirloom 4-ply Cotton. On top of that, I also got a skein of Cleckheaton Divine, which is indeed divine.
Let's tuck everything away in the bag!
