Bright Stripes is done!

Now all I need is a picture.

I do have a few more ends to weave in, and then a nice wash before it's officially turned over to Middle.  I hope that she appreciates it.  It is Ginny the Cat's favorite thing to sleep on.  Especially if it is on someone's lap.

I'm also close to finishing the little sweater.  I am thinking that I will give it to our neighbor for their son's birthday, but I need to make sure it will fit.

I've started on a sweater for me, and I'm one row away from finishing the back.  I'll post a picture of that as well.  The pattern is Solis and I'm using the recommended yarn.  Although I thought I would only need five skeins of yarn and I've gone through at least 2.5 for the back.  I bought a little extra after starting the second ball, and perhaps the front will use less yarn.  Then I'll have extra.  Oh no, not that!

Still no new progress on the Bad Shawl.  I think that I will pick that up after Christmas knitting.  We shall see.  I'm also a little tempted to just undo the whole thing and start over with bigger needles too. Then I could also put the white stripe in earlier as well.  Time will tell.

School has started.  Middle and Smallest are in the same school this year and Middle loves driving to school.  The Boy is home for another semester and working on things more diligently than in the spring, so perhaps he'll head back to college in the spring.  Time will tell there too.
