Well, Christmas has passed. I didn't finish the sweater for Smallest, but I did have to undo it and start over because I wasn't following the directions. Sigh.
I still need to sew up the toes of the socks for Middle. They go back to Chicago on Sunday, so time is short. Today is Wednesday. Oh! I do have a sock picture to share. I knit these back in... 2014? They're matching socks for Middle and Smallest - toes and heel yarn are swapped with the main yarn between the socks.
Over the holiday, Lauren asked for a hat with a larger brim than her current hat. I thought that I had made her a Bankhead hat, but alas, I was just looking back through the blog to remember what the yarn was and I made her a Turn A Square hat! I have completed about six inches of 1x1 ribbing at this point, so I think I'm just going to stick with the Bankhead. Hopefully I'll have enough yarn.
I bought some nice tweedy olive yarn to make an Almina shawl, so I think that will come next after the sweater, hat, and socks are finally finished. I did also discover a 3/4 finished sock while looking for something else, so I have that to finish too.
I've started on the last row of the Hue blanket, so that's exciting. Hopefully I can finish it this year. Goals!
I'm making a new ballet costume for Smallest also. This year it's the Awakening of Flora, so it's a romantic (long & droopy) tutu with an overskirt and a bodice. Much less challenging than last year, and I'm behind on getting it done. She needs it for the 23rd of the month. I've got the mock-up of the bodice done, and made the skirt (and screwed it up) so we'll see if I can get my act together.
Happy New Year!
Margie
