I was planning to use the same pattern but different colored yarn for our mom, but then I decided that she probably wouldn't wear the thing I've selected for Catherine, so I asked her if she would prefer Choice A (same as Catherine) or Choice B (something different). She chose something different, so I am glad that I asked! I may start that next, or I may work on something for My Friend.
My contractor has taken to calling My Friend, "Stud Muffin". I'm not sure that's the one that will stick here, but it's a possibility.
Ex-Darling is coming to town this weekend, so I'm planning to do the pillows for MF/SM while they're gone. Now I just have to decide on the design! It is nice that MF/SM knows nothing of the blog so that I can discuss his gifts openly.
The blanket for Middle has two stripes, and is lurking by my bed, waiting to be picked back up. Fortunately for me, it requires the same needles that I am using currently, so I can't do anything. I am resisting the impulse to purchase more needles. So far so good.
Since I can't show you the project, I will show you some cute shoes I bought. I have two other pairs of shoes similar to these, but with different colors. The first pair is now starting to wear out, so I thought it would be good to get another one. Plus, they're awfully cute.
I've not been keeping track of hours at all, but I know I've worked a fair amount. Perhaps I should time how long one row takes, and then I can multiply for the number of rows in the project. Sounds fair to me!
